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.

Surly brewing co. announces minnesota timberwolves partnership

The Timberwolves asked Minnesota to Bring the Nice this season. Surly answered the call.

In an unprecedented move for Minnesota craft beer, Surly Brewing Co. is extremely proud to launch its sponsorship of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx this December.

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.

If you need a quick Valentine for your sweetheart, send this to the office printer and thank us later.

REMINDER: We encourage you to make reservations for our For The Love Of Beer celebration tonight, but we will have some walk-in availability. If the snow makes your plans go sideways, come through!

We also have the February 18+ edition of @whosebeerisitanyway in our event space, so you really can do dinner and a show in one building tonight. Tonight's cast members are in our Stories!

Links for reservations and Whose Beer tickets are in our bio.

12 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT NIIICE

In honor of our first “Texas 12er” (see below), here are twelve things to know about Niiice, Surly’s new year-round beer.

*It’s about as close to a “beer-flavored beer” as we’ve ever done. 

*What does that mean? Bready, with floral notes of hay and honey, and a subtle sweetness balanced with a niiice, low bitterness. It’s light-bodied, easy-drinking, and finishes clean.

*Style-wise, it’s on the lighter end of a golden ale. 

*Brewed with Sterling hops.

*Malt bill: Northstar Pils, Acidulated, Pale Wheat, Carafoam

*ABV: 4.5%

*It is super approachable. The “it’s too hoppy” beer drinker in your life might finally come around to craft beer.

*These kinds of beers taste better out of tallboys. That’s just science. This is why Niiice comes in a “Texas 12er”—all Niiice 12-packs will be sold in 16-oz. cans instead of the standard 12-oz. More bang for your buck!

*As you may know, you can get Niiice in the custom team-color stadium can at Target Center during Minnesota Timberwolves games. Look for the gold-and-black version in stores.

*Pronounce it with a long, drawn-out “iii.” Or don’t. Depends on your comfort level.

*KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota Nice—a backhanded compliment about our home state’s fake politeness. Minnesota Niiice—the state of enjoying a refreshing, Minneapolis-made ale with your friends.

*Niiice is available to all Surly markets and is hitting shelves as you read this.

Have you noticed something a little…different about the 2025 Surly Variety Pack? 

No?

Good. We didn’t change a damn thing about it, including the photo.

Furious. Axe Man. Mosh Pit Juicy. Mosh Pit Hazy. Same four beers as 2024. It ain’t broke. No need to fix it. Look for it in all Surly markets.
