Hello Surly Nation,
Hope the summer is treating everyone well, we have been pretty busy here at
Surly.
Our fine beers will soon be available in Duluth and the North Shore! You
should be able to find our beers starting this week in Duluth and
surrounding areas in Minnesota. Keep checking up on the web site –
www.surlybrewing.com – to see the latest bars that are carrying our fine
ales. Also, keep checking in to see the latest news about a Duluth pub-crawl
with Surly. It should happen in the next couple weeks. For Surly Nation in
Duluth, make sure to ask for Surly at your favorite bar/restaurant!
We had a great time in Boston at Beer Advocate’s American Beer Festival. The
Linwood Grill in Boston is the first bar outside of Minnesota to pour our
beer! It will be on tap there for a limited time.
Our next tour is quickly approaching. Friday, June 30th, from 6:00-7:30. A
tour and tasting will happen. If you are interested, please email us your
contact info and how many people are attending. You need a confirmation to
attend the tour!
Our first beer & food pairing is coming up in a couple weeks. Todd and Omar
will be at the Craftsman Restaurant for a beer and cheese tasting. The event
goes from 5:00 to 7:00pm. There is a $15 prefix at the door. Call The
Craftsman at 612-722-0175 to reserve. We encourage people to stick around
and follow up the tasting with dinner.
We have a kick-ass new feature on the web-site. On the home page, we have a
link to a google maps site that shows the location of all the bars we are
served at. Take a look to see where you can GET SURLY!
One more thing, Surly beers go great with pizza. Check out the 2 newest
Surly establishnments: Pizza Luce – Seward, Punch Pizza – Eden Prairie.
See you drinking,
Omar

Hey All,
This coming Wednesday (6/28) we will release another beer,look for Palisade Golden Pale Ale. This beer carries the name Palisade Golden for a few reasons.
First,it’smade with only American Palisade hops. Those of you that like to get up to the North Shore will understand the other reason. Stop at Palisade Head just before sunset and watch the water glisten shades of gold as the sun sets before you…what a nice thought.
Stop by and enjoy a beer this Wednesday… Release is at 5:00

Sorry. I’m sick. I thought it was funny. Anyway, if you head on over here, you can follow Steve Fletty, Curt Stock, Kris England, & Thomas Eibner from the St. Paul Homebrewer’s Club at the National Homebrewers Competition and Conference in Florida.
