Bold beer needs your help for bold plan
Yesterday Surly Brewing Co. called out to its fans via its blog to help the company build a $20 million brewery-pub-restaurant complex in Brooklyn Center.

The beer company claims it can't be licensed as a brewpub because Minnesota law won't allow it to have a new brewery in addition to the large amount of beer they now brew. Surly is working with legislators "in hopes of getting the law changed because a restaurant, bar, and beer garden have to be a part of the new brewery."

Although Surly doesn't specify what it needs from its supporters at this time, it is asking them to "keep checking [its] web page and Twitter and Facebook pages for updates."

They just want someone else to do the leg work instead of paying some lobbyist boatloads of cash to get this done for them.
