When will you be distributing to my state/city/nearest liquor store?

Some time between right now and the future. World domination takes time, folks. We’re always increasing production to get our beer to as many folks as possible. That’s why we built a giant brewery in Minneapolis in addition to the original mothership in Brooklyn Center. Keep an eye on our social channels and this here website. We’ll announce all expansion news there. Will it be your hometown? Maybe!

Where can I find Surly beer?

Click Find Surly to see which bars, restaurants, and liquor stores stock our beer near you. Or just visit our brewery. We make a hell of a lot of beer here, so it makes sense that we would have some in stock.

How do I request beer for my charity/event-type thing?

Due to the unexpected circumstances of COVID-19 and how it has affected our business, we are pausing our SGAD donation programming for now. With a skeleton crew and adapting our business to constant change, we are unable to process the donation you requested at this time. Once we are back up and on our feet, we will start fulfilling donation requests. Hopefully we’ll be able to help you with your fundraising needs in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for understanding.

How do I get involved with Surly Gives A Damn?

Sign up for an event on our Surly Gives A Damn page. The odds of us buying you a beer afterward are substantially in your favor.

Are your beers vegan-friendly?

It’s beer, so it’s almost always very vegan-friendly. We’d get in a lot of trouble if a bunch of McRibs fell in our mash tun. THE EXCEPTION: When a beer style calls for lactose (a milk stout, for example), we make very sure it’s clearly noted.

Are any of your beers free of gluten?

While we do not have gluten-free beers, we occasionally make gluten-reduced beers, and note them as such on our beer menu.  These beers more than meet the standard for the gluten-free designation (less than 20 parts per million), but since we brew with real barley, not gluten-free grains, it has to be called gluten-reduced.

How do I share this great idea I have for a new Surly beer?

We're really, really good on this front. Thank you, though.

Can I get a beer at the Surly Brewery in Brooklyn Center?

BC is strictly a production brewery. You can get your beer at MSP.

Can you ship me some beer?

No, due to Minnesota law we are unable to ship beer to consumers. Take it up with the state. Also, you should probably just come here and get some!

Why do you put beer in cans?

Why not? Cans are awesome, tough guy. They're superior to glass for keeping out light and oxygen. You can take them places where bottles aren’t allowed. They’re better for the environment. Your grandpa drank beer from a can, and he was in an actual war probably. The list goes on.

Do you sell crowlers?

We sell crowlers to go! Finally! 

Do you sell kegs?

That’s against the law around here. Go to your local liquor store. They’ll be happy to help. Don’t forget to buy cups. (The preceding sentence brought to you by whoever owns Red Solo Cups, Inc.)

How do I find out what events are happening and when?

So many ways, grasshopper. Check out our Events page. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or any combination of the three. You will find what you’re looking for.

How do I know which Surly beers are available at a particular bar/restaurant/liquor store?

Call them, not us. We have no way of knowing up to the minute what’s on tap/in stock at places that carry us. Or just go there! Support a local business! Make a day out of it!

Are you hiring?

Yes, check out our Jobs page. Working here is fun. You should do it.

How do I get in on a tour?

Tours are every Saturday at 1pm and 3pm. Reserve your spot today!

What’s the best way to get from St. Cloud to Duluth?

Now, the standard way is to take 23 into Hinckley then get on 35 the rest of the way. What you can do, though, is just stay on 23 all the way. There’s a lot of winding roads and small towns on the route and it’s a real pretty drive in the summer and fall, especially south of Duluth.
