Todd Haug (above right, with 3 Floyds’ Brewmaster Chris Boggess, taking a break from hops selection in Yakima) sent shock waves through the Surly Nation when, last month, he abruptly announced that he was resigning his position as head of operations with Surly Brewing Co. (Minneapolis, Minnesota) to pursue other opportunities.
As it turned out, that opportunity lies in he and his wife, Linda, joining up with their friends at 3 Floyds Brewing Co. (Munster, Indiana) to help build out a new brewhouse, among other future growth-minded projects.
It’s a move more than seven months in the making, Haug says, and one that he can just now begin to talk about.
