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

Aromas are dark bolt, toast and a slight hint of molasses. Flavors are similar to nose and really true to style. A bit sweeter than Guinness and definitely dryer than Murphy's. Spot on body and carbonation. Very nice beer.
