Surlyfest (Limited Release)
September 29th thru October 5th
Brewer's Description
Our interpretation of a German Oktoberfest beer. This beer is a single hop lager, hopped exclusively with Summit hops. Being a Surly beer, we decided to dry-hop it. Is that a traditional German way to brew it? Nein, but we ain't in Germany. We aged this beer over 11 weeks to let the flavors mellow into an exceptional taste. We used German malts and Crystal Rye for a unique flavor. Only one batch of this beer was brewed, so go and drink it while you can!

Ben R says its been too long since i’ve had a good beer
October 9th, 2008
Lately everywhere I go has had Summit EPA as the best beer on tap. Nothing wrong with a little Summit, don’t get me wrong, but I like a little variety in my hops. Surlyfest to the rescue. This beer is fantastic. I have to agree with Josh, its like an Octoberfest but with more hops, which is always a good idea (along with more garlic).
