1.Surly's beer is brewed in a factory once used to create industrial abrasives. The company, which basically made sandpaper, was run by the founder's parents for 35yrs, and he created an "over-hopped, under-brewed" Double IPA called Abrasive (and with almost twice the amount of hops & malt as normal IPAs it certainly is) in their honor.
