Sweet little play on Roman numerals with this one… one can only guess that next year will see 8ight or perhaps ?ight. In any case look for Seviin in June. Surly describes this beer as follows: “For 2013, our head brewer Todd Haug raided Trappist traditions to brew up a Belgian-style ale called SEVIIN, using Belgian yeast, rye, oats and wheat.”
More to come, of course, as we learn more.
The Better Beer Society is hosting a beer dinner of epic proportions. An all-Minnesota beer dinner is cool in itself, but BBS is turning the proverbial dial to 11 by bringing in famed beer chef Sean Paxton (aka The Homebrew Chef). Paxton is no stranger to world-class beer dinners, having crafted beer dinners for tons of great breweries as well as events like The Great American Beer Festival and the Craft Brewers Conference.
This particular dinner is set to take place on Friday, April 26th at Republic in Uptown. Brewers and owners from Surly, Schell’s, Indeed, Summit and Steel Toe will join Paxton and BBS as they discuss the finer notes of cooking with beer and beer ingredients and pairing beer with food. Tickets are are $90. Call 612-886-2309 to reserve your spot. No doubt this will sell out.
Well, we were right. Last year in June, one of our sleuthy readers made a pretty good about Prospect Park being a possible location for the new Surly brewery thanks to some information Omar let slip in a video interview. Triple T (if that is his or her real name) dug through some real estate documents to find such a location and Prospect Park it was! Nice work Triple T… as far as we know, he/she was the first to hone in on this location.
Surly Brewing has announced the purchase of a “destination brewery” in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. While the site will require some environmental clean-up Surly hopes to be brewing beer at the new facility in 2014.
The 8.3 acre site is located at the corner of Malcolm Avenue and Fifth Street SE. It is just north of what will eventually become the Central Corridor light rail’s “Westgate” station.

About Overrated:
It’s been said: “It’s easier to brew an extremely hoppy beer than an extremely balanced beer.” And you know us, we are always looking for the easy way out, so we jumped on the West Coast IPA bandwagon and brewed this dry and hoppy ale. “Surly’s a little bit of a one-trick pony, they just brew gimmick beers,” and maybe we are OVERRATED, but at the end of the day, it’s just a beer. If you like it, great, so do we. If you only liked us when we were small, then leave this one on the shelf. Let one of the fanboys grab it.
