Surly Announces Permanent Closure of the Beer Hall

September 3, 2020

Surly Brewing Co. of Minneapolis has announced it will be closing its huge southeast entertainment complex, the Beer Hall and focus on its brewing operation.

 

“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, Surly has had to adapt, change, pivot, and change again, all in the hope of pushing the two sides of the business–the Brewery and the Beer Hall–through this unprecedented situation and the economic disaster that’s followed,” the company said in a statement on its website.

 

“The Beer Hall had to make the most significant changes to adapt to a crumbling restaurant industry and the demands of city, state and federal COVID-19 health and safety regulations. Beer Hall revenues are down 82% compared with the same period last year. If the Beer Hall remained open, Surly would lose at least another three quarters of a million dollars this winter. A drastic change was needed to stabilize the company and ensure the continued operations of our core business, brewing.”

 

Earlier this week, a group of Surly kitchen and hospitality employees announced their intent to unionize as part of Unite Here Local 17, which represents more than 6,000 workers in the Minnesota hospitality industry according to an article in the Star Tribune.
