Hatch Chile Cookout update! 🌶️
Due to unpredictable weather conditions in New Mexico, including recent cycles of drought and flooding, this year’s Hatch chile harvest is running behind schedule. And because we’re not willing to compromise on the quality and flavor you're looking forward to, we’ll be postponing the cookout until our chiles are ready.
The good news? The Hatch Chile Cookout is still happening — just a little later than planned. 🔥
We’ll share the new date as soon as our chiles arrive and we’re ready to fire up the roaster. Follow along here so you don’t miss the update!
Thanks for your patience, Upstream family. In the meantime, come grab a pint and toast to the harvest ahead. 🍻

The Pipeline is back and this time> It’s on tap 🏈🍺
Meet O-Pipeline, our brand-new Belgian Strong Red Ale, brewed as a nod to the powerhouse Nebraska “Pipeline” linemen of the ’90s.
At 10.1% ABV and 19 IBU, this heavy-hitter brings rich, caramelized malts, deep dark fruit notes and local hops together for a smooth finish.
Come see us at Upstream, grab an O-Pipeline and try your way through all of our latest brews on tap!
