USA, MI: The Upper Hand Brewery already operational

The Upper Hand Brewery in Escanaba has begun production. In the morning on September 30 they were brewing their third batch, Upper Michigan’s Source reported.

They are starting with three core brands, an Upper Hand Lager, UPA, and Escanaba Black Beer. They are eventually hoping to incorporate seasonal beers as well. The new facility can produce about 10,000 kegs a year, and they hope to be brewing at capacity within 2015.

"I love that to get this beer you have to come and spend that money in the Upper Peninsula," says production manager Sam Reese. "I like that that money stays here and that circulates here and it represents something about the Upper Peninsula."

Yoopers can expect to see the keg beers in their local bars by the end of the month.
