Interesting Fact
A bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material. Learn more on the Wikipedia entry. Even more interesting is that bog snorkelling is popular in England and Wales and has even produced the associated sport of mountain bike bog snorkelling.

Deep and dark in appearance with some reddish hues. Deep mocha-colored head that stuck around for a bit. I’m smelling some rich dark and toasty malts as well as cranberries. The taste is a mix of dark roasty, toasty malts and a huge, tart cranberry presence. I’m actually detecting some hops here too. I’m enjoying this beer, though I will admit that I’m a big fan of cranberries.
A tasty offering from Surly - probably not my favorite, but still tasty.
