Surly Cans
courtesy Bidwell ID
Yes, we are canning our beer.
Bender - canned year round in 16 oz. cans
Furious - canned year round in 16 oz. cans
Bitter Brewer - canned in the Spring in 16 oz. cans
CynicAle - canned in the summer time in 16 oz. cans
SurlyFest - canned in the Fall in 16 oz. cans
Why you ask, well there are a couple reasons:
Todd likes a full 16 ounce pour in his pint glass
Biking
Cans are cool
Its better for the beer
Hiking
Disc Golf
Throwing them at the band will not hurt them
The canning line we got is PFC (pretty f-ing cool)
No skunky beer from sun-light
Kayaking

Fishing
Cans are Surly
Ultimate Frisbee
We are canning Furious and Bender. Both beers are sold in 4-packs, 16 ounces each. That is 4 more ounces than a traditional bottle of beer. Our canned beer is not filtered or pasteurized, so keep it cold. This is the same great beer that people enjoy from kegs, so treat our cans like a keg. They don't contain widgets, but they do contain the best beer you can get your hands on.
Here are the locations selling our canned beer. More are coming - check daily!
