When people think Broad Ripple they think of it in the classic sense; Broad Ripple Avenue lined with bars, restaurants and boutique shops. Head south on College though past the flashing lights of the Vogue and you'll encounter a much different place, one that's even more engrained with the neighborhood feel of Borad Ripple, which has aptly been named SoBro. With local, like immediate vicinity local bars, unique restaurants like Yats and the Jazz Kitchen, and some other unique record shops and places of interest, SoBro is booming as fast, if not faster than Broad Ripple itself. Down in the heart of South Broad Ripple is the Upland Brewery Tasting Room, at the corner of 49th and College.
Upland Brewery hails from Bloomington Indiana, and has brewing beers since 1998. With Upland Wheat as their flagship beer, the brewery has begun to expand into newer territories, the closest one to me being just south of where I live, and they honestly could not have picked a better spot.
Inside the walls are lined with chiq-y trinkets and new bohemian style art to go along with furniture and the Phish jamming in the background; seriously a good neighborhood place to bro out, drink a beer, and play star wars monopoly. Yes, you can just sit down and enjoy this cozy little spot to drink your Upland Wheat or any other variety of beers on tap.
One of the coolest things about the tasting room though is the way in which they fill your growlers. Instead of simply taking beer from the tap, they fill it through a pressurized system that makes the carbonation last longer and seem fresher from your container; dope. Top it all off with a food truck parked outside and you have quite the winning combination. Official status; turbo chill.
