Surly, For the Record
Nice little intro piece about Surly in the Strib.
I’ve been remiss about covering beer and spirits, but that’s about to change. Which was part of the reason for finally catching up with Omar Ansari, whose Surly Brewing Company has developed a cult-like following regionally and even nationally

Fulton Fish Fry, War and Peace & Firkin Friday
I really wish I could take credit for that title, but that’s all Fulton. And now for what it means…
We’ll be swinging by Grumpy’s NE at 4 for some cask Sweet Child & some of Pat’s pirogies. [At] Washington Square [in White Bear Lake] we’re pouring Sweet Child of Vine, Worthy Adversary on tap, and a special draft version of War & Peace, all starting at 5:00. At 6, we’ll be heading to Sweeney’s for some fried fish & IPA.
