14 hours ago

There’s a hell of a lot going on with Surly Brewing these days.  Law changes, brewery expansions, baseball parks and more.  Not bad for six years.  This is Surly SŸX, a strong ale that is the result of aging it on a “honeycomb” of different woods.

Surly Smoke Lager Returns 12/19

164 days ago

Surly Smoke Lager is due out December 19th, 2011.  This smoky porter/lager is a seasonal offering from the Minnesota brewery.

Ebony-hued, Smoke wafts out of the bottle and into your senses, borne on the wings of European traditions, wrapped in American innovation. Lager-brewed, like any true Baltic Porter, with smoked malts from Bamberg, Germany, the home of Rauchbiers, then mellowed by oak-aging. Black malt flavors mesh with notes of raisins, plums, figs and licorice with the subtle smoke on the side, for a complex and luxurious, yet silky smooth drinking experience. It’s a sipper at Alc. 8.2% by VOL., but everyone knows you can’t have Smoke without fire!… Read the rest
