Alan Krause Review of Surly Brewing Co.

The absolute worst tour of any facility I have ever experienced. Scott completely wasted our time with dumb stories regarding how the founder (Omar - described to us as a Type-A drunk) had to install bathrooms and plumbing to open the brewery. We all watched in awe as he drank his beer and rambled about nonsense. He explained NOTHING about brewing beer, but we did learn all about his mother, Omar's wife's job, the brewmaster's failed rock and movie career, how much it costs to rent a chop saw in Minneapolis, etc. We are not sure if you even get a tasting at the end - we left after an HOUR of wasted time with him. If you want to taste the absolute worst beer ever - go to the tap room and get a glass of Dumpster Fire. It is indescribably horrible. We could not finish one glass between 5 of us. Furious and Bender are actually OK - get them at a liquor store. Don't waste your time driving to this place. Just go to any bar in the city and have fun.
