Our beverages
Each day, Surly relentlessly pursues craft beverage 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.

This year, for our favorite spooky holiday, we’re embracing Billyween. An event for the Billy Strings fans out there.
ㅤ
Saturday, October 31, join us as we livestream Billy Strings and his epic Halloween performance from Baltimore.
ㅤ
The ingredients for our Billyween event are simple: a costume contest, glass blowing, a chillout lounge, tie-dye, and live music before the livestreamed show on our 15’ TV.
ㅤ
The live entertainment for the evening will feature local bands TWINE, BUFFALO GALAXY, and EFMI, beginning at 1 PM and playing up until Billy takes the stage.
ㅤ
We hope to see all you Billy Strings fans out and in costume at Surly for this big ol’ get-down. And if you’re not a Billy Strings fan, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is welcome to this free, all-ages event.

Weekend is over, which means it’s back to adulting. Good thing we consider Surly 🍃 beverages a part of adulting.
You go where the day takes you. So do these. Surly Canned Cocktails, available wherever you get Surly.
We understand that it is football Sunday, but this is a reminder that this could be you and Prowl on Tuesday, September 22 at the Lynx Watch Party.

Pretend this is you tailgating at a college or NFL football game, because Mosh Pit Hazy is perfect for that, in our opinion.
ㅤ
Cheers to fall drinking, tailgates, and just beer in general.
We’re bringing back the kids’ activities for Surlyfest! Join us tomorrow Saturday, September 19 from 11AM–2PM and bring the whole family for not one, but TWO bouncy things, a performance from School of Rock St. Paul, cotton candy, and Surlyfest crafts.

And don’t worry, the day doesn’t stop there. Live music kicks off at 2PM and we’ll be going all night.

Based on Minnesota sports history, we have a feeling everyone is going to need a few Furious to get through this Sunday afternoon. We hope those predictions are wrong, but either way, you need beer for football.

Finally, a reason to wear your best Oktoberfest outfit. Dig up those lederhosen and dirndls and put the outfit to the test.
