Our beverages
Each day, Surly relentlessly pursues craft beverage perfection. Pushing boundaries, honing techniques, sweating the details, and eternally grateful that we get to do this for our job. Proudly independent since Day One and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
DARKNESS IS COMING
Save the date! October 3, 2026, Darkness returns to Surly Brewing Co. This is our biggest celebration of the year with specialty beers, food and live music. The event is free to attend.

Surly Gives a Damn (SGAD) is our charitable arm. It’s our way of giving back to the communities that built us. We contribute to organizations that make our part of the world a better place to live, through donations, partnerships and volunteer events. Our volunteers are a vital, passionate bunch, and they really do give a damn. You’re more than welcome to join. We’d love to have you.
You go where the day takes you. So do these. Surly Canned Cocktails, available wherever you get Surly.
We understand that it is football Sunday, but this is a reminder that this could be you and Prowl on Tuesday, September 22 at the Lynx Watch Party.
ㅤ
Although the game tips off at 7 PM, we recommend getting here early to grab your ideal spot and pregame with some beers, Beer Hall food and Surly Pizza.
ㅤ
Free to attend and all ages are welcome. See you there! Go Lynx!
ㅤ
Pretend this is you tailgating at a college or NFL football game, because Mosh Pit Hazy is perfect for that, in our opinion.
ㅤ
Cheers to fall drinking, tailgates, and just beer in general.
We’re bringing back the kids’ activities for Surlyfest! Join us tomorrow Saturday, September 19 from 11AM–2PM and bring the whole family for not one, but TWO bouncy things, a performance from School of Rock St. Paul, cotton candy, and Surlyfest crafts.
ㅤ
And don’t worry, the day doesn’t stop there. Live music kicks off at 2PM and we’ll be going all night.
ㅤ
You know why? Because we don’t fest like the rest.
ㅤ
SURLYFEST 2026 is almost here! Saturday, September 19. Doors open at 11 AM.
Here’s what to expect at Surlyfest 2026.
There are a million reasons to attend Surlyfest, so keep reading to see what the day is all about. If you think it’s like every other Oktoberfest celebration, think again. We do it the Surly way.
From FREE live music all day and beers poured in steins to insane German-inspired food dishes, a whole lot of games involving hot dogs, and family-friendly activities to kick off the day at 11 AM, there’s a little something for everyone.
Surlyfest is all ages, all day, and free. We live up to the saying, “We don’t fest like the rest.”
We know you know the lineup, but here are the official times that your favorite bands will take the stage at Surlyfest on Saturday, September 19.
ㅤ
And why stay for just one when you can stay for all? Free, all ages, doors open at 11AM.
ㅤ
Prost!
ㅤ
`Fest weather is upon us. Grab some Surly Oktoberfest at your nearest craft beer outlet or tavern. Perfect for hoping this fall weather sticks around and we don’t end up with 80-degree days next week.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Our final Darkness Day artist spotlight is Lagwagon.
ㅤ
Lagwagon
California punk legends Lagwagon have been shaping melodic skate punk since 1989. Known for fast tempos, catchy hooks, and classics like Let`s Talk About Feelings and “May 16,” they remain one of punk`s most influential bands.
ㅤ
Catch Lagwagon live at Darkness Day on Saturday, October 3. Free show.
We’re only 8 days away from Prowl at the Beer Hall for our Lynx Watch Party!
ㅤ
On September 22, we’ll have two Big Ass TVs to cheer on the Lynx as they take on the Fever. To make the evening even better, Prowl will be there with the Lynx Hype Team to keep the energy up all night long.
ㅤ
The game tips off at 7 PM, but we recommend getting here early to grab your ideal spot and pregame with some beers, Beer Hall food and Surly Pizza.
ㅤ
Free to attend and all ages are welcome. See you there! Go Lynx!
Based on Minnesota sports history, we have a feeling everyone is going to need a few Furious to get through this Sunday afternoon. We hope those predictions are wrong, but either way, you need beer for football.
ㅤ
Start off the football season with a Surly beer stock-up. Use our beer rebate in the link in our bio to get yourself $10 back on two Surly 12-packs.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Finally, a reason to wear your best Oktoberfest outfit. Dig up those lederhosen and dirndls and put the outfit to the test.
ㅤ
The Surlyfest Costume Contest will take place at Surlyfest on Saturday, September 19th. Winners will be chosen based on who gets the loudest cheers from the audience.
ㅤ
There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, with the 1st-place winner getting a $100 Surly gift card.
ㅤ
Awards at 6:30PM. Must be present to win!

BIG ASS TV. BIG ASS SPORTS.
ㅤ
We’ve got a new addition to the Surly Beer Hall, and it’s a big one. A BIG ASS TV.
ㅤ
And when we say big, we mean 15 feet of giant, glorious LED TV wall. Crystal-clear picture. Bright enough to stand out in broad daylight. Big enough that you won’t have to squint, lean forward, or ask the person next to you, “Wait, what happened?”
ㅤ
Basically, if there’s a game worth watching, we’re putting it on the Big Ass TV.
ㅤ
THE BIG ASS TV OFFICIAL KICKOFF is 9/13 for the Minnesota vs. Wisconsin professional football game.
ㅤ
Kickoff: 3:25 PM
ㅤ
The Beer Hall opens at 11 AM, which gives you plenty of time to get here, grab a beer, load up on food, and properly pregame before kickoff.
ㅤ
With seating for 275, there’s room for you, your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, and that one guy who somehow always knows exactly what the refs got wrong.
ㅤ
So bring the crew.
ㅤ
See you at the Beer Hall. Head to our events calendar on our website to see the BATV schedule.
