Surly Beer Hall, Milwaukee, Minnesota

Now that it is open again I had to try it. July 3. Not much fireworks in the area so this will do. Following is a summary of my posts in "What Are You Drinking Now". Looking for other opinions.

Drinking a Rose and Lime to start with. Both are reasonably dry and not sweet like a lot of fruit beers. Still not really dry but OK.

Disappointed in their stouts. 3 choices 2 with lactose which will not like me. One is Darkness on tap. Really has a lot of licorice in it which doesn't taste right in a stout. Has a really weird after taste. I have had large bottles of Darkness I liked very much and do not remember the strong licorice. (Understand they make Darkness different ways at different times.)

Decided I don't like the lime. Mixed some of the Rose in it. Much better. (Really surprised by the Rose just by itself. To bad it is only in the Beer Hall.)

Tried a Mango. Interesting, not bad. Not sure ??

Now for an Axe Man. Do not know why Furious is so popular. This is much better.
