Hello, Surly Nation!

We just can’t say it enough: THANK YOU! The outpouring of support for our expansion project and legislative proposal has been amazing.  Thank you so much for contacting your legislators, attending “Support Surly” and 5th Anniversary events this past month and believing in Minnesota beer. We are making some progress right now and while there is still a long way to go, and it continues to be an uphill climb, it feels like we are heading in a positive direction.  THANK YOU!

In addition to saying thanks, we wanted to give you an update on our progress.   Legislation has now been introduced in both the Minnesota House (House File 703) and Senate (Senate File 416).  Both Republicans and Democrats have signed on to support the bill and we continue to gain support at the Capitol – and beyond.  We will continue meeting with legislators and look forward to talking with the groups that have questions or concerns about the proposal.

We will keep you posted on the effort at the Capitol and we will let you know how and when you can help. Thanks again for your passionate support of Surly’s Destination Brewery, Minnesota craft brewers and SF 416/HF 703!  Please know your efforts have made a difference. 

We will continue to need your help throughout this process to make this idea a reality, so please keep following us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/surlybrewing) and Facebook (http://on.fb.me/4I71Pj) for the latest news. 

Cheers To You!
