Surly Brewing Company, the Twin Cities-based craft brewery, will begin distribution in North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska in May, KDLT News reported on April 6.

Omar Ansari, founder and president of Surly Brewing said: “We have been talking to Surly fans in North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska for ten years now, and every day we receive messages for them asking when we’re coming to their cities. Finally, we’re now able to pay them all back for their awesome support and patience by getting our beer onto their shelves and taps.”

Starting the week of Monday, May 2, Surly will be available at bar and restaurants and retail accounts, which are currently being determined and will be listed on the brewery’s website.

To start, Surly Furious, Hell and Overrated will be featured on draft in bars and restaurants. An assortment of cans, including Bender, Coffee Bender, Furious, Hell, Cynic, Todd The Axe Man, and Overrated! will be available at the retail accounts.

Surly will be introducing itself to the three new markets with programs of events, showcases and ‘Surly Gives A Damn’ community projects in months-long invasion campaigns across the respective states.

Surly’s existing partner Johnson Brothers will distribute the beer in both North Dakota and Nebraska, and parts of South Dakota. Global Distributing will also distribute Surly beer in South Dakota.
