Perfect Name? Surly Misanthrope

Just because Surly Brewing (Brooklyn Center, MN) is building their dream destination brewery, doesn’t mean their new beer innovation slows down. This dislike of humankind creation is Surly Misanthrope, an American wild ale.

Simply put, just as the description states, Misanthrope is a Belgian-style beer aged in oak barrels with the wild yeast Brett.

This Belgian-style saison ale is aged in oak barrels with Brettanomyces. Golden in color, it has notes of tropical fruit wrapped in an oaky horse blanket, and, you know, other stuff that combine to produce blah blah blah to create blah and etc. It is best served cool and enjoyed alone or with a tolerated companion. 

Surly Misanthrope will be available in 750ml bottles.

Style: American Wild Ale (Oak Aged)
Availability: 750ml Bottles.
Arrival: TBA

Surly Seviin: Belgian, Wheat, & Metal

A name synonymous with both metal and craft beer – that’s Surly Brewing Co in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each year, the brewery celebrates its birthday with a new anniversary brew aimed again at “desecrating conventional styles”. As odd as it may sound, Seviin (see what they did there with Roman numerals) is the first time the brewery used wheat in a beer.

This anniversary brew changes each year, according to Todd Haug and Omar Ansari’s whim. All you have to do is prepare your senses. Each release is hard to forget.

Continuing our quest to despoil and desecrate conventional beer styles, we’re raiding Trappist traditions to produce this Belgian Style Ale brewed with Rye, Oats, and Wheat. Our first beer EVER brewed with wheat! Belgian yeast creates classic clove spiced banana aroma and flavor. Dry hopping brewing floral and citrus aromatics to the biscuity-smooth malt body.
