Thirsty Thursday | Surly, Coffee Bender


Our awesome friends to the West in Minnesota know how to make some awesome craft beer just like we do here in Wisconsin and Surly Brewing is the shining star of the North Star State! Recently we made a day trip over to Minneapolis and of course we couldn’t go there without stopping at a local liquor store to pick up some goodies for at home. Surly’s Coffee Bender (and many other local items) made it’s way back to the Northwoods with us that day!


Let’s talk about those awesome cans for second! Surly is known for making their beer in 16oz pint cans, not only are they designed with an awesome flare but for those of you NOT in the know cans are increasing exponentially in the craft market right now not only for economic and environmental purposes but also because it simply makes your beer better. No sunlight, no oxygen… it’s like a mini keg in your hand!


Surly’s Coffee Bender as it will instruct you on the can (and just like you should with any bottled beer) it’s always best to pour into a glass to get the full sensory experience of this awesome beer. I mean if you love beer and you love coffee (especially iced coffee) this American Oatmeal Brown Ale brewed with a cold extraction of coffee to intensify the flavor, then you might consider starting off your day with one of these bad boys rather than the real thing!

  1. Totally need to try this out! My fiance and I just discovered Lucette Slow Hand, from the Lucette Brewery in Menominee, WI and love it, so this would probably be right up our alley.

    Hi fellow Wisconsinite!
