The Lodge will have a few Surlys on tap that night; Darkness, Hell, Coffee Bender, Furious and SurlyFest. Should be a good time. If you are not familiar with the Lodge, check them out at www.bavarian-lodge.com.
Speaking of Darkness, it won best beer at the Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis. Thanks to all in Surly Nation that endured long lines to Get Surly.
Lastly, Surly cans are starting to find their way into more stores. We just started shipping cans to our distributor in Duluth, Rohlfing Distribution. In addition, we will be adding some more liquor stores in the Twin Cities. Many of those stores have been waiting patiently for over a year for Surly cans. We appreciate all of you asking for our beers at your favorite liqour store, but we just do not have enough to go around. Because of that, we ordered 3 more tanks!
See you drinking,
Omar
