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.
Have we mentioned how stoked we are to have ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT headlining Darkness Day? We definitely have, but we`re saying it again.

8:30pm: Rocket From The Crypt

You all SHOWED UP for SurlyFest on Saturday! The five-minute downpour in broad daylight notwithstanding, what a perfect day to be crushing German beers, throwing cased meats, and listening to live music. See you back here for Darkness Day on October 5th!
Good morning to the tailgaters, early risers, dogwalkers, runners, Coffee Dads, and everyone else who is up five hours before kickoff. You are our strongest s(k)oldiers. Before I Die Lager is for you.
Our friend @hutchks95 is emceeing SurlyFest on Saturday, including our Stein Holding competition. If your ability to hold onto a beer is the envy of friends, loved ones, the clergy, and business associates, this is your moment. Music starts at 2:30, competitions will happen between sets!
Speaking of steins, ALL our draft beers are being served in glass steins tomorrow (yes, even the doppelbock). Buy the stein up front, refill as necessary.
