Surly Brewing Co.

Thanksgiving is this week. Are you ready? The short answer is “No.” The long answer is “No, and shut up.” Winter weather, overcrowded airports, the startling fact that December starts on Sunday. It’s all barreling your way like a boulder rolling downhill. You look like you could use a beer. Some recommendations from an award-winning regional brewery can be found below: SITUATION: The night before Thanksgiving/”Drinksgiving.”?Everyone’s home to see the fam on Thursday, which means you get to hang with all your friends on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the last time you did that, someone ordered shots that were basically scotch and kerosene. Twice. You woke up in a house that wasn’t yours in a town that wasn’t incorporated. You’re not that young anymore and you have a big day tomorrow. SUGGESTED PAIRING:?DOUBLE TAKE G&T AND DOUBLE TAKE TRANSFUSION.?These limited-release social mocktails have 10mg of THC and zero alcohol. Enjoy on ice or straight from the can. Carving the turkey without a hangover may take some getting used to, but we believe in you. SITUATION: They only call it a “fun run” because it rhymes.?The only people who should be up this early are those hearty souls preparing the feast, but nope, someone decided signing up for a 5k/10k was a good idea. It’s cold outside. People are dressed like turkeys. This is madness. Calories aren’t even real today, what are you doing? SUGGESTED PAIRING:?HOUSE BLEND NITRO COFFEE ALE.?This collab with Peace Coffee is rich, roasty, and smooth. As the runners trudge past your house, shuffle out in your hoodie and pajama pants, raise your pint glass, and go back inside to snooze along with the dog and Al Roker. More pairings at the link, plus some Black Friday specials at the Beer Hall!

If we're not responding to your email in a timely manner today, it's because we're out delivering Thanksgiving meals to?Open Arms?clients! Surly Gives A Damn volunteers are dropping off their weekly meal PLUS a frozen turkey and fixings for the holiday. Open Arms of Minnesota is a nonprofit that cooks and delivers free, nutritious meals to people living with life-threatening illnesses in the Twin Cities. We are thrilled to be partnering with them again this holiday season!

Welcome to Dorit’s Tavern. Open from Wednesday, Dec. 4-Sunday, Jan. 5 on Surly’s second floor, it’s a holiday pop-up that’s been fed after midnight. Instead of candy canes and cozy Hallmark endings, Dorit’s avoids direct sunlight and surrounds you with cold beers, killer pizza, jello shots, and a cast of unsavory characters. (You’ll be fine, just don’t spill water on them.) This mid-‘80s dive bar tribute is now taking reservations. P.S. If anyone has Phoebe Cates’s email, please let us know, we’d love to have her bartend for a night.

This month marks a significant turning point for Surly. We're on the tail end implementing a massive overhaul of our first brewery in Brooklyn Center, reflecting the most significant capital investment we've made in our business since we built the Minneapolis brewery and beer hall 10 years ago. The investment also represents our commitment to becoming the premiere midwest co-packer in all beverage production. Many thanks to the team at Craft Business Daily for helping us share this big news. Cc: Bianca Bruno Jenn Litz-Kirk

Stuff the Truck! On Saturday, March 23rd, the?Community Emergency Assistance Programs (CEAP)?will bring their truck to the?Surly Beer Hall?to collect donations of non-perishable food items from 4-6pm. They’ll also collect monetary donations through cash, check, or QR code and anyone who makes a food or fund donation to CEAP will receive a free beer! CEAP is a community-based, non-profit agency dedicated to providing information, referrals, advocacy and assistance to our neighbors. While they are located in Brooklyn Center, there are no geographic boundaries to their services and any neighbor who needs the services may use them. Their goal is to raise $150,000 and 150,000 pounds of food. Let’s help them get there! If you can’t make it on the 23rd, we’ll have donation bins right inside the front door of the Beer Hall from the 24th through the end of the month. Bring in your non-perishable food donations during business hours and we will hook you up with that free beer as a thank you! DONATE TO CEAP: www.ceap.org/donate

Exciting things to come at Surly. I will start updates in April!
