    Surly Furious, the citrus and the bitter, it is so good I want more! Should have stashed some in my suitcase but there was no room - it also didn't occur to me in my PJ road trip haze. It probably wouldn't have lasted past Milwaukee anyway and definitely not past Denver. I also want to try a few of their other beers that I read about on the website, but can't get any of that goodness in Canada, especially not out west.

    My buddy works over there and I've drank more Surly than I am proud to admit. Went to their Eighth Anniversary party last night. Still have a reeling headache.

    EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY BEER - OAT WINE STYLE ALE AGED IN RYE WHISKEY BARRELS
    SO JEALOUS!


    Also see if your buddy is willing to smuggle some into Canada...
    They'll be quadrupling their production when the new brewery opens, not sure how far they'll be distributing though....

    My impression is simply from trying it during the awesome 36 hrs I spent in the Twin Cities. I liked it a lot, best beer I had there and I tried a different brand at every pub we went to.....will have to wait till my next visit to see if something else can beat it.

    No trip to Minnesota is complete without a Grain Belt Nordeast. I mean, it's nothing to write home about, but I just gotta have one when I'm there.

    I love showing people that video of Prince at the RNRHOF induction. If I were building a super group, His Purpleness would easily be my lead guitar pick.

    You're both delusional. Surly Furious has clearly been one of the most delicious beers around the twin cities area for years.

    Still one of the best. There's nothing quite like that first sip of Furious. Mmmmmm...

    I was an adamant non-drinker until well into my 20s (I was way into the hxc scene and straightedge). It's not for everyone. I have a friend who drank a lot in college and finally realized that he needed to stop completely. He did and he's fine.

    At the same time, alcohol doesn't have to be the evil some people think it is. I certainly thought it was for a long time, but like everything, moderation is key. I definitely don't think it's unique or weird that someone doesn't drink. But I also don't think there's anything bad or wrong about if you do it within reason. I think most people here who drink do so within reason.

    Good game. You'll always have 2000.......and 1981 :))

    True. We will have those victories, and the knowledge that the last few decades of Gopher football ineptness are completely taint free from scandal and NCAA probation. Paging Jim Tressel? Anyone? :)) ;)

    In all seriousness, I didn't expect the Gophers to win today, but I also didn't expect them to play Ohio State the toughest of anyone this year (aside from Virginia Tech). Say what you want, but the Gophers played better than I would've expected. A bad Illinois road loss suddenly becomes glaring (as it should), because for any chance of a Big Ten Championship rematch, the Gophers need to beat Nebraska and Wisconsin on the road. I actually think the Gophers can win one of those games, but two would be tough...

    It's a week into the snow and I'm already tired of bundling up.
