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.
Our Darkness Day 2024 bottles are now available to order, including collabs with Chicago’s Revolution Brewing and Denver’s TRVE Brewing!
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.
FINAL FESTIVAL FIELD GIVEAWAY OF 2024! We have two tickets to give away to Lake Street Dive on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Surly. If you`d like to win them, follow the link in our bio, enter the required info, and send it. We`ll email the winner next Monday. Deadline for entry is 11:59pm, Friday, Sept. 20. Good luck!
As you apply that last coat of purple and yellow face paint this morning, you might be thinking two things:
1. I need to remove this before going to the office tomorrow.
2. What Surly beers are at US Bank Stadium?
We can help with the second one. Furious IPA, Mosh Pit Hazy IPA, and Mosh Pit Juicy Pale Ale can be found at multiple locations throughout the venue.
We`re also pretty sure Stu`s cousin has a cooler full of Axe Man and a shotski in the Gold Lot if you`re in the area.
IN ONE WEEK: SurlyFest 2024
IN THREE WEEKS: Darkness Day
Do some breathing exercises. Work your core. Stretches, cardio, etc. You`ve got this.

You could not ask for a better night at Festival Field. Thank you to Black Pumas and Ric Wilson for providing the soundtrack and to all of you for providing the vibes, which many sources are calling immaculate. Scenes courtesy @darin_k_.

The sun is setting a little earlier. The hoodie-and-shorts people in your life have a little extra spring in their step. The local football team is either on the way to the Super Bowl or firing everyone after one game. That`s right, folks: It`s time for Oktoberfest.

Two other things:
1. All our SurlyFest beers will tap this Tuesday at 3pm if you want to preview them before the big day.
