DIY Commercial from DIY Brewers

The fine folks @ Surly Brewery not only have two fantastic limited release beers coming out this month, they have made what I believe is the campiest Minnesota beer TV commercial since the Hamm's bear.

Oh, and if I'm buying $50 worth of Surly, I sure in the hell am not giving it to my "friends".

That commercial is craptastic. If they are springing for tv media time they should have a commercial contest and reward the winner with some swag and beer.

I must admit: as a guy partial to my Wisconsin microbrews (Capitol, Sprecher, Riverfront).. I'm really enjoying the Surly. Furious is great, I like the Oktoberfest and Bender is also pretty good. Glad to see they're doing well. And they should advertise on DeBlog.

yeah that commercial is awful....
but i highly doubt they'd ever air that as a TV commercial...

Surly does kick ass though

Surly; good. That bit of video work; horseshit.

The only redeeming element was the timing of the cut to the product shot prior to the can hitting it's target.

The commercial is bad crap.

That said, I can't wait to get a growler again on Saturday.

Surly had nothing to do with the production of this video.A couple fans of the beer made it for fun,not for TV.With that in mind,it's better than getting a fan poem.
