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.

But I won’t let it tarnish my perfect record. The Dyers and I took a special trip to the Happy Gnome to taste the elusive Surly 2, only to find out that it was all gone - which must be a testament to it’s amazingness, right? Either way, I can almost guarantee I would have loved it, so I’m giving it 4 stars despite the failure to taste.

It’s still on tap at the Blue Nile, Acadia Cafe, and many other bars that aren’t the Happy Gnome, so you can still find it and try it for real.
