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.
WELCOME TO DORIT’S TAVERN!
Dorit’s Tavern has returned to Surly Pizza Upstairs!
A holiday pop-up for people who don’t necessarily like holiday pop-ups, Dorit’s proudly wears its tacky ‘80s aesthetic on the sleeve of its hideous sweater—from the gaudy tinsel to the pickle roll-ups, from the plastic ashtrays to the neon-colored drinks.
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.
You know how it snows every day now and you shovel and you scrape and you plow and your back feels like you just moved a piano up three flights of stairs? By yourself?
ㅤ
Anyway, there`s a beer for that: Winterize.
ㅤ
Surly`s amber-hued winter lager is like a heating pad for the soul, with welcoming notes of biscuit and honey. In between storm warnings, look for it on draft and in 12-packs wherever you get Surly. Holiday rebate info in bio!
Meet the four Barrel Goblins before hitting up our Release Party on Thursday, December 18th.
ㅤ
BORIS: This barleywine spent quality time in Parker’s Heritage 14-Year Bourbon barrels.
ㅤ
VLAD: Fans of Eighteen, rejoice. Our 18th anniversary beer (Belgian golden strong ale fermented with Brettanomyces Brux and Clauss, aged in virgin oak barrels) spent even more time aging on the Brett and oak before finishing in bourbon barrels. First Bottle Project beer to approach a traditional sour.
ㅤ
LIZZIE: Take a whack at this Doppel Helles Bock aged on French oak.
ㅤ
VIKTOR: This Strong Ale was aged in bourbon barrels before aging further on vanilla beans.
ㅤ
Links in bio to purchase Release Party tickets or one of the remaining bottle packages!

If you’re snowed in this weekend or just need a new holiday cocktail, our in-house mixologists recommend the Surly Firefly: shot of vodka, splash of grenadine, and a generous pour of Surly Grapefruit Supreme over ice, rimming the glass with lime juice and sugar.
The one and only Busted Ass Brunch returns to Surly on New Year’s Day. For those who overindulged or had to serve the overindulged on New Year’s Eve, this one’s for you. From 10am-3pm, we’ll be serving up the kind of brunch food the day calls for, plus beer cocktails, mocktails, a DJ, and whatever else gets 2026 pointed in the right direction. If that means a nap later on, so be it.
ㅤ
Open at 10am sharp. Seating tables until 3pm, closing at 4pm.
ㅤ
Show up hungry, hungover, or both—we’re not here to judge.
This year, give the gift that already has a bow and a tag on it: Surly’s Merry Little 12 Pack, featuring Furious, Axe Man, Mosh Pit Hazy, and Mosh Pit Juicy. And have yourself a Merry Little Rebate—buy two Surly 12-packs, get $10 back via Venmo through the holidays! Link in bio to redeem.

Yesterday, a coalition of Minnesota elected officials and business owners came together as one group to shine a light on the current hemp ban and push for a clear, responsible and regulated path forward. Surly’s founder and President, Omar Ansari, was one of the business owners speaking out in support of a federal framework for a safe, responsible hemp industry.
We have a year before all hemp products are officially banned. If you enjoy and care about 🌿 beverages and more, help us in this fight and reach out to your elected officials.

The season’s upon us. As we adjust to our maximum three hours of daylight per day, at least we have Winterize, Surly’s winter seasonal, to help us cope.
Our full-flavored amber lager centers robust notes of biscuit and caramel, with a kiss of Tettnanger hops and waves of toasty sweetness. Queue up the 10-hour fireplace video on YouTube, open a Winterize, and get comfortable. It’ll be May before you know it.
(Winterize is also part of our Have Yourself a Merry Little Rebate program that runs through New Year’s Eve--buy two Surly 12 oz. 12-packs, get $10 back via Venmo! Link in bio to redeem.)
