OMNI Brewing opens Sunday in Maple Grove
Craft beer is one of the fastest growing industries in the food and beverage world. It's also very popular in Minnesota.
In January, there were 74 craft breweries across the state. Today there are at least 90. Now, you can add one more to the list as OMNI Brewing Co. will open Sunday in Maple Grove.
OMNI has a taproom and will start out selling ale beers. Customers will also be able to get growlers on Sunday.
We're exciting to be opening in Maple Grove, said head brewer and co-founder Zach Ward. Now people in the northwest metro won't have to travel to northeast Minneapolis for craft beer.
Craft beer has been a big boost to the economy. Last year the craft beer industry had a $1.3 billion impact in Minnesota.
I think for a while people kind of thought the idea of beer being an industry or business was cute, and now seeing the numbers, seeing the data, people are starting to recognize craft beer is a very real industry, said Growler Magazine editor-in-chief Joseph Alton.
Alton also says he wouldn't be surprised to see more brew pubs popping up.

Surly Crafts Special New Brews in Brooklyn Center
Ever since Surly Brewing opened its destination brewery in Minneapolis, you may not have noticed what’s happening at its original facility in Brooklyn Center. There’s excitement there too. It’s where top-secret brewing is taking place, and our CCX News cameras got a sneak peak.
“It’s amazing to have this facility still,” said Ben Smith, one of the head brewers at Surly in Brooklyn Center. “There’s a lot of history here, a lot of great energy too.”
If you don’t recall the Surly story, Brooklyn Center is where it all began in 2006. Omar Ansari converted his father’s abrasives metal business into a brewery. Fast forward to today, there’s people with lab coats and a room that says “Danger: Science in Progress.”
Riley Seitz is in charge of quality control. She makes sure that beer that gets shipped out is up to Surly standards.
“We do a lot of microbiological testing of our beer,” said Seitz. “Consistency is key,”
She added, “This is to make sure Furious tastes like Furious when it hits the shelves.”
Where New Surly Beers Are Created
While the company’s Minneapolis facility brews core brands like Furious, Hell and Xtra-Citra, the Brooklyn Center location is where the magic happens and new beers are created.
“Most of the brands you’re still drinking out there are still brewed at this facility,” said Smith.
Smith gave us a sneak peak of what’s to come, including BAOW! which stands for barrel-aged oat wine. Surly is also releasing small batches of limited edition beers called its “BC Small Batch” in honor of its Brooklyn Center roots.
“It’s kind of way to be a little more creative, have a little less risk, be able to do some things that are a little more outside the box than what we’ve been doing the past couple years,” said Smith.
From Fruit Infusion to a Beer for Wine Lovers
The BC Small Batch releases include came a pale ale brewed with lemon and grapefruit called Zest Crazed.
“You’re going to get a little bit of bitterness from the zest. You still get a really nice citrus character,” said Smith.
And the legion of Surly followers will be happy to know two new beers will reach stores July 2. One of them is called Mosaic Kettle Sour, with has a tropical fruit flavor.
“I’m excited about that one,” said Smith, a little bit of tartness, but not so tart that it rips the enamel off your teeth.”
And the other new release is one wine lovers can enjoy called Rosé Lager. Smith, himself, is a big wine drinker and a rosé fan.
“It’s very dry, we use a lager yeast, and finish with a champagne yeast and we use just a hint of black currant and strawberry purees to give it that essence you get in a nice rosé.”
Even if you don’t like beer, you can’t help but appreciate the art of making a new brew. And knowing what’s happening inside surly’s original home is the key to future beers.
“I think it gives a lot of perspective to why people are so excited about Surly, kind of our grassroots,” said Smith.
Surly Tours Return to Brooklyn Center
And here’s what else is new: the Brooklyn Center facility has resumed tours. They are free and take place the fourth Friday of every month, including this friday. You can sign up on Surly’s website. And yes, free beer samples are part of the tour. Surly asks attendees to bring a nonperishable food donation to support local food shelves.

Goatwhore - Surly Darkness Day
Oct. 26th, 2014, Surly Brewery, Brooklyn Center, MN
The All-Destroying from Carving Out The Eyes Of God (2009)
goatwhore.net
Lyrics:
Crumbling Stone Faces, dismantle this praise
rubbing ash of conquest, across faces of war
self imploding flame of birth
scorn and hate risen from ashes
dividing the divisions of hell
dare to go where evil has no shame
revolting the presence of question
concealing this senseless bitter blood
a hope for this landscape of terror, for the demands of this retribution
raped soul of conformity
let the blood flow from these wrists
transparent emotion of rage, as flesh tears in the fall of hope
reap benefit of gratifying torture
vast scape of crimson realms
welcome this dread of unknowing
no higher vision shall curse my
thoughts of devastation
digested and forced
this carnivorous state
of primitive killing
unleash hell's wrath
swallowed in blood and fire
assume the birth rite of murder
great genesis of reprisal
spreading great wings of war
taking the lives, of this resistance
to fuel the machine, with endless carnage
prolong the expiration of faith in the jaws of fear
satisfied in this execution of the heavenly womb
fed by flame, nourished by death
I'm eating the blood
tearing meat with teeth and nails
the all-destroying
devouring the hearts of the ancient ways
a machine for the will of Satan
whose tongues bless in diabolic spite

Brewed For The North - Surly Brewing
In 2018, Surly is making moves. We have always been brewing beer for the rough and tumble, hearty stock that reside here up North. We celebrate long hair for days, hardcore wintering, dirty fingernails from long hard day on the job. We bike hard, are seasonally affected, take slappers in the basement and on the ice. We brew beer for rock shows in basements, and people who knit their own hats. We don't just like it here, we LOVE it here. Put on another layer. Our beer is made for this. Surly is Brewed For The North.

Bent Paddle Brewing Co, opening soon in Duluth Minnesota, Mico Brewery
From D-Town to Brew-Town, that was the topic Thursday for a group of young entrepreneurs talking about the revitalization of Duluth at a new brewery.
FUSE Duluth is a program under the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce specifically to help connect young professionals with the community. Thursday, their Topics on Tap conversation was held at Bent Paddle Brewing Co., a brewery opening next week.
The group was among the first to taste Bent Paddle's new brew and tour the facility before sitting down for a panel discussing Duluth- where the city has been, where it's going, and visions for the future.
The Tonnis' and Mullen's are the married couples behind Bent Paddle. It's a 30-barrel production craft brewery and taproom located on West Michigan Street.
Co-founder and Director of Brewery Operations, Bryon Tonnis, said breweries help revitalize communities because they add to the quality of life.
It gives people places for people to come down, socialize, and enjoy each other's company, said Tonnis.
Part of the discussion Thursday centered around keeping young entrepreneurs in Duluth.
What can we do to keep people here? asked FUSE Director, Kellie Cloutire. There has to be something about Duluth. It's our adventurous spirit and the many things we have to do here. Brewing and breweries are apart of that.
While breweries give locals a place to meet, Tonnis said craft brew also draws in another crowd: tourists. Tonnis said Duluth is a growing brewery destination.
We hope people will come in, try our beer and have a great time in Duluth and then leave thinking, 'Wow, that was such a great experience,' said Tonnis.
Soon Bent Paddle hopes to have their brew on shelves across the region, not just exporting their brew, but exporting the experience of Duluth.
When they see our beers on the shelves they are hopefully going to think of their great experience in Duluth and think about coming back, Tonnis said.
Bent Paddle is located at 1912 W. Michigan Street. Their taproom opens to the public Thursday, May 16th
