When it debuted on Darkness Day 2023, Velvet Jam almost stole the show. Granted, anything pouring bright red is going to stand out amid a raging sea of imperial stouts, but the sweet/sour balance and fruit-forward flavor captured everyone’s attention.

With that in mind, we’re pleased to announce that Velvet Jam Sour Ale is joining Surly’s year-round beer lineup, coming to shelves and tap lines near you this February!

Sweet, gently tart, and remarkably smooth, Velvet Jam layers in intense waves of cherry and raspberry flavor over an agreeably sour base. Neither too puckery nor overly sweet, it strikes an inviting balance that has you coming back for more.

Velvet Jam is available in tallboy 4-packs and on draft to all Surly markets.
