If you haven’t yet toured Surly’s facility and are interested in doing so now might be your chance. As of about 2 pm today (Sunday), their website is showing that there are openings for the Friday, July 3 tour. I suspect this tour will fill up quickly so don’t drag your feet. What a great way to kick off the holiday weekend!

And the winner is…
Congratulations to Chad Jeske, winner of the Surly Coaster Contest!
Chad’s name was announced last night at Old Chicago in Eagan, where the design was submitted. In addition to Bender and Furious on tap, there was also a pin of Ashy Cynic for the Surly Nation to enjoy.
For his effort, Chad’s design will appear on 100,000 coasters at the Twin Cities finest drinking establishments. Plus, and this is a biggie, a 15 gallon keg of his favorite Surly beer.

It’s refreshing to see more events that include both beer and wine since most people are not mutually exclusive. Plus if you fall into one camp but have friends firmly entrenched in the other it’s great to find an event you can attend together.
