Our BEERs
Each day, Surly relentlessly pursues craft beer perfection. Pushing boundaries, honing techniques, sweating the details, and eternally grateful that we get to do this for our job. Proudly independent since Day One and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
INTRODUCING MISTER SURLY’S ORANGE WHIP CREAM ALE
A cream ale brewed with blood orange and vanilla, Mister Surly’s Orange Whip is our spring/summer seasonal for 2025.
Surly Gives a Damn (SGAD) is our charitable arm. It’s our way of giving back to the communities that built us. We contribute to organizations that make our part of the world a better place to live, through donations, partnerships and volunteer events. Our volunteers are a vital, passionate bunch, and they really do give a damn. You’re more than welcome to join. We’d love to have you.
That noise you hear is the rapid approach of GRAD PARTY SEASON. And if you want to do something a little more special than cold ham sandwiches and a 20-gallon pot of coffee in the garage, consider Surly`s Private Events spaces. Check out all our options at the link in our bio!
A WATCH PARTY AND A GIVEAWAY!
With the NBA regular season winding down and the Wolves battling for a Top 6 playoff seed, every game is meaningful.
That’s why we’re inviting you to a Wolves Watch Party at the brewery on Tuesday, April 8th, for a border battle with the Milwaukee Bucks! We’ll have some special guests from the team, a couple comically large televisions, and as many Niiice beers as we need to ensure victory. In addition, if you buy a pitcher of Niiice, we’ll throw in three free pint (piiint?) glasses for you to bring home!
We also have THREE PAIRS OF TICKETS to give away to the March 28th tilt versus the Phoenix Suns. If you’d like to see us ground them into dust one more time this year, simply click the link in our bio to enter. Winners will be contacted via email on Monday, March 24th.
First Avenue, Jam, and The Current present CAAMP at Surly Brewing on Sunday, June 8th!
Tickets go on sale next Friday, March 28th, and 10am. Link in bio!
(Surly presale is Thursday, March 27th at 10am. Same link, use code SURLY to get in. This is why you always read to the end.)
What is Sense? If it doesn’t look like a beer, that’s because it’s not. If it doesn’t look like a seltzer, it’s because it’s not that, either.
Sense is a new Surly product line that pairs cannabinoids and adaptogen mushrooms to maximize their potential benefits with precision intent. Our first two Sense selections land on shelves this month:
Go Forth is an orange blossom lemonade that sets your day up for success with a combination of elements crafted to support mental clarity, improved immunity, anxiety reduction, and energy support.
Go Easy helps you wind down your day with a selection of elements designed to support immunity, reduce anxiety and depression, and aid in sleep support with a blend of chamomile and raspberry flavor.
While being from a whole other universe than an IPA or an imperial stout, Go Forth and Go Easy share the same sense of adventure and “eff it, let’s go for it” that led us to brew Furious, Mosh Pit Hazy, and Darkness. We can’t wait for you to try them.
More information on active ingredients at the link in our bio. You can find Go Forth and Go Easy wherever Surly is sold in 4-packs of 12-oz. cans.
Mister Surly is bringing his Orange Whip Cream Ale to your neighborhood! He also might need to crash on your couch for a few days until he can get a couple things sorted out.

The 2025 edition of Barrel-Aged Darkness goes deep into the woods.
Every year, we age our beloved imperial stout and release it the following spring. This year, the barrels in question are Elijah Craig bourbon barrels, which impart flavor and aromatics from the oak and the previous occupant to the receptive Darkness base.
But that’s not all! We took an extra step by also maturing it on French Oak from our friends at Creative Oak. They supplied the wood for our fantastic Darkness Day 2024 collab with Revolution Brewing, and we’re thrilled to work with them again.
The final product is full-bodied with substantial chocolate, brown sugar, and molasses notes, along with abundant woody oak character.
It’s now available on draft and in boxed 16-oz. cans, and while it’s worth cellaring, drinking it right away is understandable and encouraged.
Our 2025 Darkness Artist is…(drum roll please)…John Bivens! An award-winning visual storyteller, John is a native of the Quad Cities area who now calls the Twin Cities home. John makes comics and teaches at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and Dakota County Technical College.
John has literally been an artist his whole life (“I was just a kid who never stopped drawing”) with an abiding love for schlocky ‘80s horror movies. In other words, he gets the whole Darkness aesthetic.
You can find more of his work on Instagram or Bluesky, buy it from his webstore, or congratulate him in person the next time he’s at Grumpy’s NE. Link in bio for more info!
This is a PATIO BEERS ALERT. This is not a drill.
The first 70-degree day, an unofficial Minnesota holiday, is hitting today or tomorrow.
To celebrate, we’re throwing open the big patio doors Thursday and Friday. Take a seat, bring the kids/dog/rest of the office/distant cousins with a good vibe, and enjoy this sneak preview of Summer Fridays.
As if the weather wasn’t a big enough draw, we’ll also be giving away Festival Field concert tickets! Enter to win onsite for a pair of tickets to the show of your choosing. (Even the very sold-out Cake performance in May!)
Also, since Friday is PIE DAY (3/14), Surly Pizza Upstairs will be offering $1 off our Pizza Party Lager all day Friday with the purchase of any pizza. If you’re in charge of bringing Friday dinner home, order any two pizzas online to-go tomorrow and we’ll throw in a pack of Take Five THC gummies for free.
Doors open at 3pm both days. See you then.
Reservations are now LIVE for the massive Surly Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 20th. Full buffet, family activities, shrimp luges, beer, seltzer and THC cocktails, a grown man in a bunny costume. It literally has everything.

This month marks the 15th birthday of Surly Gives A Damn, our brewery`s charitable arm! Led by the almighty Mary Sellke, it`s our way of giving back to the community that`s built us up.
This week, we went back to where it all started--The Food Group in New Hope, site of SGAD`s first event. Damn right there was a sheet cake.
If you`d like to mark the occasion yourself, we have a couple options coming up, each of which supports your friends and neighbors and comes with a free beer/beverage. The classic win-win!
1. Stop into the Beer Hall today with a non-perishable food item(s) to benefit the Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP). We`ll give you a complimentary drink voucher for your donation! CEAP will also be onsite for their Stuff the Truck event from 4-6pm!
2. Donate some blood! Our spring blood drive with Memorial Blood Centers is Thursday, March 20th from 2-7pm at the Brewery. Free pint glass and beverage voucher for all donors! Link to sign up in bio!
The epic Surly Easter Brunch buffet returns on April 20th. Tickets go live one week from today (3/12/25)! Watch our social channels and/or subscribe to the Surly newsletter to get the link when it drops.

Mister Surly`s Orange Whip is available to all Surly markets on draft and in six or 12-packs. It`s hitting stores and tap lines as you read this. Mister Surly himself is a man of mystery. Don`t make eye contact.
Other items of note:
ABV: 5.5%
Hops: Warrior
Malt: Pils, Oat Malt, Acidulated, Unmalted Wheat, Flaked Oats
Mister Surly: We never got his first name. He seemed nice enough. Don`t make eye contact though.
