Did I miss it, or did they not do a “Best Beer Selection at a Bar” under the “Sex, Drugs, & Rock’n'Roll” category?

Bill wrote on April 23rd, 2008 at 9:28 pm:

Man, Surdyk’sget it every single year. Although I have to admit I do really enjoy their selection.

Al- I think they looked it over in favor of deciding which bar was the best Americanized Irish bar…

Summit? Summit?

Where were all the Surly fanboys? Getting new tats and piercings?

Ben wrote on April 25th, 2008 at 12:43 am:

Which category would Surly have been up for troll? Hide behind an anonymous name and then try to start trouble. Go elsewhere.

And what’s wrong with tats and piercings milquetoast?

al wrote on April 26th, 2008 at 1:22 am:

and what do tats and piercings have to do with Surly, you ask?

Is that the label your using, or one of the ones you decided not to?

al wrote on April 26th, 2008 at 2:39 pm:

that’s the final one, already slapped on the bottles. I’ve got a couple Omar dropped off yesterday, that I occasionally cradle in my arms and stroke lovingly.

Too much information…

I saw the label design last night at Arborfest. Looks good.

Isn’t that what you would do with your baby?

Pivo wrote on April 28th, 2008 at 8:30 am:

An ugly label for a crappy beer. At least they got that part right.

Trav wrote on April 28th, 2008 at 11:51 am:

That was insightful.

NotASheep wrote on April 28th, 2008 at 7:31 pm:

Hey, Trav, about as insightful as all the me-too Surly brown nosing that goes on here.

al wrote on April 29th, 2008 at 12:48 am:

as the artist, may I say you are as worthless as your children and your chilldren’s children!

peace out,
al!

PS there is no Surly brown-nosing here. Anyone who thinks so has zero perspective on the craft brewing world.
