Surly's, Todd the Axeman is an awesome beer. I had a friend bring me a four pack from Wisconsin down to Indiana. Definitely will be making road trips to Chicago area to pick up more.
How was the comparison from yours to the original?

Well, a while back on here, Denny mentioned the idea of brewing an "homage" to a commercial beer, rather than trying to really clone it.  I kind of liked that idea. 

So while Surly uses all Golden Promise, I went with all Maris Otter.  They use the same two hops (Citra and Mosaic) but in an opposite ratio.  I ended up using twice the Mosaic rather than twice the Citra.  I didn't go buy any of the Surly beer to make a comparison, because I'm sitting on a keg full of killer IPA already!  I will tell you this though - this beer satisfies me in the same way I would expect a commercial IPA to.  A wicked good beer.
