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.

I had the Surly Two at the January 23rd tapping at the Blue Nile and enjoyed every sip of the first one. It was made with loads of cranberries so that was the dominant smell. Not a lot of hops aroma, but there rarely is in a fruit beer like this. I ordered a second one but I wish I wouldn’t have. Just one was perfect, and would have gone great with the right food (pork), but a second glass was just too much.
