<?xml encoding="UTF-8">Surly Brewing Company opened in Minneapolis in 2006, pioneering the charge to change Minnesota&rsquo;s liquor laws to allow taproom service. In 2014, Surly opened Destination Brewery and launched Festival Field just two years later &mdash; turning its backyard into a live music venue.8Though the space remains simple, it&rsquo;s layered with Surly&rsquo;s craft authenticity and crowd energy. What started from a brewer&rsquo;s concert dream has become a local gathering place of music, beer, and community under one sky.Sources:<ol>
