INDIANAPOLIS — A new beer is now calling Gainbridge Fieldhouse its official home.

Upland Brewing Company, a craft brewer with locations across Indiana, announced it will release a new limited edition beer, the first-ever Pacers-branded craft beer.

Courtside Indiana Pale Ale has a 5.4% alcohol by volume (ABV) rating and is now available to purchase at all Upland Brewing Company locations throughout the state.

The limited beer made its first game day appearance Sunday, Nov. 19, in the Pacers' game against the Orlando Magic.

“Living in Indiana, basketball is almost as much a part of our identity as craft beer,” Brent Ducker, director of sales and strategic accounts at Upland Brewing Company, said in a statement. “Deepening our relationship with the Indiana Pacers by launching Courtside is a natural next step and one we’re thrilled about. We hope it will enhance the already-incredible fan experience for people at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and also appeal to anyone who wants to display their support of the local team and the craft beer industry.”

The brewing company became an official sponsor of the Pacers in 2022.
