E-Malt.com News article: Canada, BC: Surlie Brewing Company coming to Abbotsford

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the city of Abbotsford got its first craft brewery with the opening of Canuck Empire Brewing. Now that number has been doubled with the launch this week of Surlie Brewing, Canadian Beer News reported on March 6.

Founded by Tim Brown, a veteran of the BC brewing scene who has previously brewed at Mission Springs and Dead Frog, Surlie has been launched small but ambitiously, debuting with a 6.5% Strong Belgian ale called Solitaire.

Surlie Solitaire cannot be purchased or sampled at the brewery due to zoning bylaws, but it is being distributed now to select liquor stores in British Columbia.
