Are you feeling a little Surly? Grab an Axe, man!

Todd the Axeman has an explosive hop profile that will assault your palate with only the heaviest of helpings of Mosaic and Citra Hops, which play the lead with their bright and bitter notes. Golden Promise base malts and a punchy 7.2 percent alcohol content completes the arrangement with a well-balanced and percussive American IPA.

This beer is named in honor of Surly’s now former brewmaster, Todd Haug, a lead thrash-metal guitarist turned brewmaster from a Minneapolis band called Powermad. Todd the Axeman is a fitting tribute to the man behind the can. The golden amber color of the brew is quickly followed with a furious tropical crescendo of mango, grapefruit, and thrashy pine-centric notes that hit harder than a double-bass pedal and ends with bitterly boozy finish.

Buyer beware: A few pints of this will have you ready to charge headfirst into a raging moshpit of questionable decisions. Please sip responsibly.
