Inside Surly's new $30M Facility

There are 3 huge bars upstairs and they will be pouring beer tonight and this weekend. New glassware is nice too.

 

that teku!

 

Got there around 3 and was told it might be 1- 1 and a half hours for seating. It ended up only taking 10 min. Really nice looking place.

 

I'll wait until next summer to try it out.

 

Didn't count, but guessing there is easily room for 30 bicycles, and only about seven there today at noon. Plenty of room until the weather turns cold

 

They had an impromptu abrasive release! In can, on premises consumption, 1 per person. Upstairs bar. There was plenty when we left at 630. Canned today. Om nom.

 

What is the price point at the taps? Also, has anyone checked out the stainless steel pint glasses yet? I kind of like those.

 

SO. MUCH. ABRASIVE.

 

Prices are reasonable. Ran about $5.50 per glass, and that was for Eight, Doomtree and Damien.

 

Yup $5.50 per glass of eight (12oz) but that's after tax.

 

I think those were 10 oz pours, but still a good deal. Jealous about the Abrasive release.

 

How busy is it in there now?

 

The steel pint glasses are made by Kleen Kanteen.

They are at capacity, so there's a line "waiting" to get in, as people leave...

0/2 as I tried at 12:40 today, but there was an hr and 45 min waiting list for a table

Guess I'll go next week when things calm down... Added bonus, the new brewery only 2.6 miles from my work!

 

No line to get in now.

 

Nice! How long is the beer line?

 

The beer line is significant but the wait for Abrasive upstairs was only about 5 minutes...

 

@wuuin you're right they were 10oz pours. Same ~11oz glasses they used at the BC taproom. I was thrown for a loop because coffee bender was served in the same glassware (so 10oz per pour too).

 

I was gonna wait til my birthday party in Feb, but once word of Abrasive got out I hopped on the Green Line and checked it out. Massive destination brewery. Freshest Abrasive I have ever had. And the bone marrow with guajillo is to die for.

 

For anyone who wants it, here's a PDF of the beer hall menu:
