OKTOBERFEST
Oktoberfest is back at Surly, bigger and bolder than ever – all while being a completely free event. Be here from September 12th-24th and see how we don't fest like the rest.
BEER
There are a lot of German beer styles—we should know, because we’re making most of them. Not only do you get keg after keg of Oktoberfest Lager, you also can fill a stein with Weizenbock, Dampfbier, Hefeweizen, Dopplebock, SurlyFest Rye Lager, Smoked Helles, Maibock, and more. $8 stein fills.
FOOD
For a span of two weeks, we'll be introducing Reuben Frites, pork schnitzel, cabbage rolls, and chicken spaetzle to our menu. Additionally, during the weekends, our Food Truck will be serving turkey legs and doner kebabs to the customers enjoying our beer garden.
ENTERTAINMENT
Our Oktoberfest weekends will feature live music and activities to keep the fest at its best. Local rock, pop, and hip-hop acts provide the soundtrack, while stein races and gelande quaffing will test your stamina and hand/eye coordination in the most beer-forward way possible. Please, no wagering.

SMOKED HELLES
SMOKED HELLES | 4.5% ABV
As traditional as it gets, this crisp and refreshing German lager uses smoked malt to add a campfire grace note. And you don’t have to fly all the way to Bamberg to enjoy one!
DAMPFBIER
GERMAN ALE | 5.5% ABV
The German equivalent of a steam beer (“Dampf” equals “steam”), Surly’s version is brewed with Saaz hops, nudging a little hoppiness into the mix, along with some orange-clove aromatics.
SURLYFEST
DRY-HOPPED RYE LAGER | 6% ABV
A dry-hopped rye lager with an earthy, biscuity flavor profile. Brought back exclusively for our Oktoberfest celebration.
HEFEWEIZEN
HEFEWEIZEN | 5.3% ABV
Our take on a traditional hefeweizen, with ample fruity character and notes of clove and bubblegum.
OKTOBERFEST
LAGER | 6% ABV
Rich, sweet, and malty up front, dry and clean on the finish with an ever-so-slight touch of hops. Prost!
THE EDICT
BERLINER WEISSE | 3.8% ABV
Brewed by Chad Arnhold as part of our brewer-focused Intelligent Design series, this traditional sour also gives you cranberry and woodruff flavor options.
WEIZENBOCK
WEIZENBOCK | 8.6% ABV
Weizenbock marries the refreshing character and ester profile of a Weissebier with the malty, brawny punch of a doppelbock.
DOPPELBOCK
DOPPELBOCK | 8.0% ABV
Barkeep: Make mine a double. This malty, double bock monster is the ideal festival beer. Rich with bready sweetness, it also has a complex malt flavor that ends with a dry, warming finish.
