Surly Firkin at Edina Grill

By on July 8, 2009in beer events

Right now, the title pretty much sums up the details I know about. As we get closer to the date I’m sure the identity of the firkin will be released and a good bet on time would be around 6 or 7 PM. Suffice it to say that if you enjoy Surly’s beer in firkins just head over to the Edina Grill that evening an you probably won’t come away disappointed.

UPDATE: The cask will be of Furious and will be tapped around 6 pm.
