Surly Brewing Asks For Help

Last week Surly Brewing (Brooklyn Center, MN) announced that in their 5th year, they plan to expand big time.  Great news for beer lovers in Minnesota and far.

As if it weren’t hard enough to be a successful craft brewer, and then raise the massive amounts of money to expand your brewery – the government has silly laws that stifle your growth and your industry.  Surly Brewing even came out and said that they would do anything they could to work with lawmakers to make this new venture successful.  Lawmakers however, basically retorted with – go build somewhere else.  So Surly is asking for you  the beer drinker’s help.

From Surly’s Blog:

What a week! The news that we are planning to build a new destination brewery has had an amazing response. The ranks of the Surly Nation have grown and we are humbled by all of your encouragement. THANK YOU.

But as you know, not quite everybody is in favor of what we want to do.  The bill has not yet been introduced but already there is stiff opposition, with some people telling us we should go to another state and build. We don’t see that as an option right now so we need YOUR help!
