Surly Brewing Bids Farewell to Growlers

Per MN State Law (340A.301), Surly Brewing will not be able to get a license to sell growlers in 2009. In 2008, we have sold over 3500 barrels of beer. The cut-off limit for getting that off-sale license is 3500 barrels. So, no more growlers, no more Darkness Day, and no more SurlyFest.

Here is the plan for wrapping up growler sales in 2008. The last week of December we will be selling growlers of a new beer we brewed specifically for this farewell to growlers. The beer is a DIPA – double IPA. We do not have enough growlers left for you to purchase, so we came up with a new idea.

Bring in your empty growler and we will clean it and then fill your growler directly from the brite beer tank in the back. We will be selling these growlers for $17 each and here are the hours we will be filling:

December 27th – Saturday noon-4:00
December 29th – Monday 10:00-6:00
December 30th – Tuesay 10:00-6:00
December 31st – Wednsday 10:00-4:00
We have brewed 30 bbls of this beer. If we run out, we will not have any more to sell.

-All growlers must be returned by December 31st if you wish to get your $3 deposit back.
