Our BEERs
Each day, Surly relentlessly pursues craft beer 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.
surly turns 20!
Surly turns 20 this year. That’s a big effing deal! In an ever-evolving industry like ours, two decades is a real accomplishment.
We would never have reached this landmark without the unwavering support of the Surly community–craft beer drinkers, metalheads, soccer moms, minivan dads, weird uncles, party aunts, middle managers, BC Taproom regulars–far and wide.
That’s why, as we celebrate this milestone throughout 2026, this one is all about them. Taproom-era favorites, fan-curated variety packs, even XTRA-CITRA? Hell yeah. Read all about it.
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.
Get excited… Surly is open for lunch starting May 1st.
ㅤ
We’re keeping it simple, quick, and delicious, sandwiches built for grabbing a bite and enjoying a beer to keep the day going. A small mobile kitchen, a tight menu, house made deli meats, cold beers, warm sunshine.
ㅤ
That’s the vibe.
ㅤ
Each sandwich is served with chips and a pickle, with the option to add a beverage or dessert. Bread is baked fresh daily, so yeah, it’s as good as it sounds.
It’s also the perfect excuse to get the kids out of the house this summer, let them roam the Beer Garden with a classic PB&J in hand while you post up.
ㅤ
Seating is available in the Beer Garden, with bathrooms open inside. No need to stress about parking or rushing in, we’ve got plenty of space for you and your coworkers.
