Our neighbors to the west who are known for their multitudes of lakes are about to get a little present directly from the Upper Peninsula -- some damn good brews.

Upper Hand Brewery is based in Escanaba and owned by Larry Bell, who is known for owning down-state Bell's Brewery. Currently, Upper Hand Brewery is distributing throughout the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin, but plans are in place to expand the reach of their product to Minnesota.

The entire Upper Hand beer lineup will be made available for shops, bars, and restaurants to order in the North Star State. That lineup includes four year-round beers as well as seasonal and specialty offerings.

“As we expand Upper Hand’s presence, it’s important for us to find the right distributor partners who share our values and dedication to providing good beer where it’s meant to be enjoyed. Upper Hand beers are only available throughout the north, and Minnesota is the perfect addition to our distribution footprint,” says Bell.
