Surly Furious
January 21st thru January 27th
Brewer's Description
A tempest on the tongue, or a moment of pure hop bliss? Brewed with a dazzling blend of American hops and Scottish malt, this crimson-hued ale delivers waves of citrus, pine and caramel-toffee. For those who favor flavor, Furious has the hop-fire your taste buds have been screaming for.
Golden Promise malt and four American hop varieties result in a rich malt sweetness infused with bright hop flavor and aroma from beginning to end. It's about 6% alcohol and around 100 IBUs.

Another great beer. I love the hoppiness of the Furious as well as the hint of grapefruit I’m tasting. This is the first time I’ve had it out of the can, and it’s super cold. Kind of wish it were a little warmer. I would really dig trying this beer with a big warm bite of baked bread cheese. mmmm…

Bread cheese! I had never heard of this until a couple weeks ago and it was delicious. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not bread at all, it’s just cheese, and it’s a Wisconsin thing?
By the way, just wanted you to know I’m really enjoying your ideas for what food to pair with the beers. Keep it up chef
