    Can't make it but would someone please kidnap Todd from Surly and hold him ransom until they agree to distribute to Washington?

    Of course, I'm kidding.............................. just distribution to Seattle would be fine. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Oh man, I LOVE me some Surly. My wife is from MN and my father-in-law sent me a 2013 Darkness recently and it honestly lived up to the hype. Fucking fantastic beer. Also, Coffee Bender is my favorite low ABV coffee beer by a long shot. SO GOOD. Def going to this.

    Just out of curiosity, how do distribution laws come into play when a brewery that's not distributed in a state brings its beer to that state to sell? This isn't exactly an under-the-radar event; do special arrangements need to be made? Backs scratched? Palms greased? Tails wagged?

    I don't want to be a wet blanket here, just wondering how they get around the byzantine labyrinth of laws and regulations that determine what beer can and can't be sold in a given market.

    I often wondered this myself.. Fuckin Brouwers.. not complaining about the kegs of fresh hop Alpine IPAs -- just curious.

    I'm not sure if this is the full answer, but it looks like they have a license to accept direct shipments of wine/beer from out of state.

    Good Call. Surly is a COA holder apparently. So in the event they wanted to sell Surly beer in WA they can..

    Elysian had their Overrated IPA on tap during SBW 13, so there is a way...

    As a Minnesota BA who is slated to be in Seattle on 12/5 I'm excited for this!

    Here's a thought. Try some Washington beers you can't get in Minnesota while you're out here. You can get Surly whenever you want. Just sayin'.

    Wha-? Alpine from San Diego County? That's impressive. I couldn't even get Alpine in Los Angeles, except very rarely.

    Oh don't worry, I won't be coming all the way to Seattle to drink Surly that I can get at home. I have my eye on some of those delicious Cascade Sours, Fremont B-Bomb Vanilla, Bridgerider, etc. Just seeing the name Surly in the NW thread got me to read it where I discovered the event listing...might not have made the trip from Bellevue to Brouwers otherwise simply for lack of awareness.

    I may be able to make some room in a suitcase for some MN goodness....
