Hoosier Hi-Five

A Hoosier Hi-Five (also High-Five) is a beer and shot combination from two Indiana heritage brands. The whiskey is Old Hamer Straight Bourbon and the beer is Upland Champagne Velvet. Old Hamer was prominent from 1825 to 1870 from Spring Mill in Lawrence County, IN and was sold as far south as New Orleans. The brand was resurrected by West Fork Whiskey Co. (Indianapolis, IN.) in 2019.

Champagne Velvet was brewed by Terre Haute Brewing Co. founded in 1855 and grew to be one of the largest breweries in Indiana. In 1902, Terre Haute brewmaster Walter Braun created a lager called Champagne Velvet (CV) that quickly became the flagship beer of the company. While the beer helped the brewery spread its market and fame during the next two decades, Prohibition forced the brewery to close and its assets were sold. In 2012 Upland Brewing Co. (Bloomington, IN) purchased the rights to the name and recipe and released the beer for their 15th Anniversary.
