We passed our first hurdle last night in making our vision for Surly’s Destination Brewery a reality. At a hearing Wednesday night, the Minnesota Senate Commerce committee approved SF 416, the bill to allow Surly to sell glasses of its own beer on premise.

 We are very appreciative for the support we’ve received from our loyal fans. Your efforts have made a HUGE difference. We also want to thank the members of the Minnesota Senate Commerce committee for passing the bill. THANK YOU ALL!

 But like we said, that was just the first step; we still have a long way to go. The bill now awaits a hearing in the House Commerce committee, which we hope will be scheduled very soon.  It will then have to pass both the full House and Senate before getting to the Governor’s desk.  We hope you will hang with us for the whole ride.

 We’ll keep you posted on our progress at the Capitol and how you can help. Keep following us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/surlybrewing) and Facebook (http://on.fb.me/4I71Pj) for the latest news. 

 Cheers from all of us at Surly!
