Always
Instigating

It’s what we do. We’re not Surly because we’re dissatisfied with the status quo. We’re Surly because we do something about it. That ferocious spirit of provocation, of experimentation, of just doing the damn thing, that’s Surly.

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.

Darkness Day 2023

Contrary to popular belief, the most wonderful time of the year is actually the October Saturday where we celebrate the first yearly sip of Darkness, our mammoth imperial stout. We call it Darkness Day. We’ll see you there in 2024.

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.

Whether you’re drinking Furious at an upscale restaurant or a place with dollar bills on the ceiling and a pizza oven that doesn’t work, you’re doing Sunday Funday right. But the bathroom at the first place is probably nicer.
The Great Northern returns to our Beer Garden (you read that right) one week from tonight with the Chill Out Launch Party! Ticket and event info at the link!

Double Bladed Axe Man returns this week to guide your journey to IPA Valhalla with a fearsome swing of Citra and Mosaic hops.  Mighty notes of pineapple, grapefruit, orange, and pine await those who’ve grown weary of pedestrian ales.

Find it on draft and in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans for a limited time. Drink deep. Glory awaits.

Thanks to @beerded.erich for the great shot of Double Bladed Axe Man!

Whether your playoff odds are 100%, 2%, or somewhere in between, the important thing to remember is that Before I Die Lager is the perfect choice to bid the regular season farewell. (The second most important thing is having a quality backup quarterback, but you already knew that.)
Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my Nitro Coffee Ale. Now available to all Surly markets, courtesy Surly Brewing and Peace Coffee.
