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. N o 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!

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.
