Can it be? Are the rumors true? Did Omar Ansari, proprietor of Surly Brewing and all around nice guy win Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year? Sure looks like it. Congratulations Omar! Well deserved. More news to come.
*****Update*****
Omar won EoY in the Consumer Products category in the Upper Midwest Category (MN, WI and the Dakotas). This makes him eligible to compete for the national awards, which will be handed out in November.
