Then go to the Members Page where you’ll find an email link and phone number.

Don’t just copy some text and send it…..use your own words to say why the state should make this change.

FYI - I had trouble with the email link, so I called instead.

Jeff,

My father in law is a huge Surly fan. When he heard about the Growlers getting prohibited due to the brewery getting too big he decided to do something. He spoke to Michael Nelson who is a Rep. in the Minnesota House of Representatives who also happens to be a fan of Surly Growlers.

Representative Nelson decided to write a bill that would allow the Brewery to continue to sell Growlers. You can read the emails from him and my father in law below. So if you're interested, write to your Rep. and tell them to vote for it.

See ya,
Andy Mattison

I am now Pumphouse, the lobbyist.

Surly brewery is now prohibited from selling growlers because they got too
big. The bill would up the annual limit on a micro-brewery which would
enable them to sell growlers.

Write your house rep to support it if you ever want to buy a Surley growler

Steve,

I just wanted to let you know that I introduced a bill addressing the issue
you brought up at Surly Brewery. I have attached it below, but you can
monitor its movement on the House website.

Now, I have spoken with staff in our non-partisan House Research Department
and this bill will need some tweaking during committee. I have asked for a
hearing, but I do not know when or if I will get one.

Michael Nelson
