The long awaited release of Surly’s Abrasive Ale (formerly known as 16 Grit) has been set for April 13th at Pracna on Main.

The date you can purchase it in cans should be coming out soon and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear.

Update: Meagan from Pracna mentioned that our readers might want to know that the best spot to park is in the St. Anthony Main ramp on 2nd Ave. SE and 2nd St. SE. Pracna will give you a validation ticket with a $5 purchase. Furious and Bender will also be on tap and Pracna will have their regular happy hour from 9-11pm ($3 for most of their micro and domestic tap beer). ~Ryan
