By on March 20, 2009in beer events, breweries

What do you do if you wake up on a Sunday morning with a hankering for a Surly and brunch? One answer can be found below.

8th Street Grill is now serving Surly beer paired brunches.

Here are some of their food pairings:
Furious & The Ragin’ Cajun Omelet
Bender & Prime Rib Hash
Cynic & Seared Salmon Benedict
Coffee Bender & The Grill Specialty

Of course, you can just have a Surly and anything on the menu. To kick things off, on March 28th we will be raffling off a bottle of Darkness at 11:30. Stop by early to get your hands on a Surly, a raffle ticket and some grub.

The 8th Street Grill is located at the corner of 8th and Marquette in Minneapolis.
