Video: Get Surly at Merwin's Video Contest

Local liquor store chain Merwin Liquors just made it easy to score 40 cases of Surly beer. They just announced a contest to do just that with this well-produced video, which encourages Surly fans to create a their own cell-phone video using the tagline "get Surly at Merwin's" for the chance to win. Bonus: Tyler Peterson of long-loved local noise band Sarah Johnson makes a cameo.
