Description
Great Beer Above All Else

Surly: The frustration we felt when we couldn't find a good beer, much less a great one, in Minnesota. So we made some.

Great beer is all that really matters. Well, that and pushing your limits a bit, looking out for your people, taking pride in where you’re from, and having as much damn fun as you can while doing it.

Brewed Aggressively in Minnesota

Boxed pint can from Ridgeview Liquors, 3/13/25. Black, mediumm brown head, average retention. Aroma of lemon, chocolate, roast, appropriately enough. Taste is tart lemon, chocolate, soy, graham cracker, roast. A bit thin. Gotta lower the score. A weird mintiness emerges that I find off-putting. 2nd Edit: This is really harsh and hard to drink. Score went from 7 to 6.6 to whatever it is now
