Is it worth $3.50 a pint? – Assuming you like the style of beer, and have adequate disposable income, unquestionably yes.
But, in the context of my question, I was hoping to find a deal, as in “less than the commonly found market price”. I think Summit ESB is a good value at $7/6, but I was glad when someone told me there was a deal at Surdyk’s for $20/case. I’m also looking for a good place to stock up on Bell’s products if you have any suggestions.

DoubleBast> You mean $3.50 a pint of high quality local beer made with high quality locally roasted coffee isn’t enough of a deal?

Lot of fruit for a DIPA, did not find it too sweet though. I can’t drink more than 4 oz. of Surly 1 or 2. Looking forward to some more Tea-Bag Furious at Firkin Fest.

Right now, my order is:
TBF
Furious
Darkness
16 Grit
Coffee Bender
Smoke

Order changes depending on mood though…
I just need to find somewhere with a decent deal on Coffee Bender [off-sale].

“way too sweet, like many Surly beers” What? Sure, one, two, three, and Darkness have been malty sweet but those are special beers brewed to a style. But their year-round beers, Furious, (Coffee) Bender, or Cynic are not sweet.

That smell you are describing is us cyclists. We emit it to force snobs away from good beer.

Can’t handle the stink?! No beer for you!

Or maybe you were there during a Vikings game…

What’s a Sulry Brewing?

Punk rock? Sweaty and dated?

I had a growler of it. Blah. Great nose, but way too sweet, like many Surly beers.
