My buddies can't get enough Surly beer. They look for it in bars and restaurants, they grab it in cans at liquor stores, they even travel from time to time to the Surly HQ to get growlers. We even toured the place last summer, and had a ball learning about the ultimate frisbee career of head man Omar Ansari, the brewing process for Surly beers, how Surly got its name and its start, why Omar didn't join his parents' manufacturing business, and other fun facts. Here was one exchange:
My friend Todd: How many states is Surly sold in?
Omar: Um, Minnesota and ... let me think ... yep, that's it. Minnesota. Hey, we're only a year old, give us a break.
Well, they must be doing it right, because they're already expanding -- they've just poured the floor for their next 3,800 sq. ft. Hopefully that means more Darkness, more Coffee Bender, and more awards (Surly was named Best American Brewery by Beer Advocate in 2007).
