Surly seeks another half-million in public funds for proposed brewery
Surly Brewing is now seeking a $500,000 loan from Hennepin County to support the $20 million, 60,000-square-foot destination brewery it is proposing near the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. […] Surly previously received nearly $2 million of the $2.5 million in environmental cleanup grants it was seeking from the state, the county and the Metropolitan Council.

Have they tried going to a bank? Why are they going to the taxpayers?
Because it is a brownfield site, that increases the cost of the project which was initially planned to be $20 million. If that is true, I could see why they are seeking $2.5 million in public funding.
