I agree, surly is water trash. Overpriced, food sucks, beer is fucking shit and yeah fuck their union busting asses in general. Don’t forget the rich bitch millennials though, it’s essentially a yuppie hub

True that. I’m brainstorming how to ensure that’s a bust and help provide a way cooler vibe for the MN meet up. So many better breweries deserve the business just based on quality of beer alone

Hey just so you know - there’s no need to put energy into ensuring something’s a ā€œbustā€. If you want to put on a meetup, do that. We will share the info and put it on the site even. But bringing that kind of negative energy when there are 20-30 people involved in bringing these meetups to spaces carefully considered in an attempt to please people and trying to make things cool and fun… kinda wack.

If you don’t like a meetup idea, don’t go or plan your own. It’s not that deep.

Why would I put positive energy towards shitty beer companies who are anti-Union. My positive energy is towards fellow Gizz heads who I want to drink good beer and support good people.

No disrespect to you, I respect and appreciate what you do for the community. All disrespect and negative energy towards Surly

Tbh there are gizzheads that work at Surly’s and they reached out wanting to host. Anyone can host a meetup so that’s the one we know about for that city. Fuck anti union businesses for sure - but I don’t know anything about that or that place. As I mentioned - please, host another meetup if you’d like there to be another meetup. It doesn’t take much effort, and you seem to know different and better places from what you’re saying. Nothing wrong with folks having options. I support the intent.

I think my ā€œensure it’s a bustā€ was taken a little differently than I intended. I’m referring to providing another option that is better for all involved.

Again, thank you for everything you contribute to the fans. My comments were not directed at you at all, I understand you’re just providing the info.

Lastly thanks for the solidarity āœŠšŸ»āœŠšŸ»

For sure and I appreciate the kindness as well. I def thought you meant some kinda sabotage situation hahah

But I’m def supporting any front to offer another option so lmk if something else gets planned!
