Being led into temptation has negative connotations. No one denies this. One could even describe its checkered history as snakebitten. However, Surly would like to argue that it isn’t all bad.

Surly Brewing’s first variety pack hit shelves the week of February 19th across Surly’s footprint, and will include Furious, Xtra-Citra, and Hell. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. Each variety pack will include a Surly beer that’s exclusive to the 12er. Oftentimes that beer will be brand new. That’s the case with 60 BELOW, a crisp rye…
