After leading Indiana University's Hoosiers football team to its first national championship, head coach Curt Cignetti said he would be sipping on Upland Brewing beer. Upland decided he should have access to some Hoosier Lagers whenever he wanted.

Cignetti led the Hoosiers to an astounding season, his second at Indiana. The school, which had been the losingest college football program in the country, on Monday became the only school to go 16-0 since Yale in 1894. It won the Big Ten Championship, the Rose Bowl, Peach Bowl and the National Championship Monday night, defeating University of Miami Hurricanes 27-21,

"Coach Cignetti and his staff have ignited IU Football and brought so much joy and energy to Bloomington and the State of Indiana," Upland said. "We are excited to continue providing beer for the Hoosiers as they celebrate the national championship, and we will be sending plenty of Hoosier Gameday Lager their way."

"We are also announcing a lifetime supply of Upland beer for Coach Cig as a thank you for the postgame comments. That was pretty unreal to watch in real time."

Indiana University Athletics and Upland Brewery have been working together for several years. A portion of Hoosier Gameday Lager proceeds go toward "student scholarships through IU Licensing and Trademarks."
