Upland Brewing expands its beer sales to Chicago

FROM IDS REPORTS

Bloomington-based Upland Brewing Company is expanding its wholesale beer distribution to Chicago starting in October. The company announced it will collaborate with River North, a privately-held distributor that advertises and sells a variety of international beer brands.

“Over the past 15 years, we’ve built a brewery known for great beer, consistent organizational excellence and made a lot of friends while being an active partner in our many communities,” Upland President Doug Dayhoff said in a press release.

Upland currently distributes beer in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

“We anticipate strong reception as we move into Chicago with River North, a proven and respected distributor for some of the world’s most renowned brands,” Dayhoff said.
