Hello Friends,
New Year is a moment to reflect on the year that past and make wishes for the year to come. Well, I'm done with all that - if the 2020's have proven anything in its short tenure, it is that you better be ready for a ride. All I know for sure is 2022 will have good people, good times and good beer, and Fulton will be here to help give you all three.
We've got some incredible events in store to wrap up 2021 and tentatively welcome 2022. So, if you're looking for an experience to bring the out of town family to - or to get a break from - I've got you covered.
And here's how!
Our neighbors are hosting an epic hockey game and we are your spot to hang out before the game! Check out what we will have going on!
Michael Russo of The Athletic will be here talking all things hockey during a live recording of his podcast Straight From The Source starting at 1pm. No tickets needed, just come down, grab a beer, and listen to some great ice talk.
New Year’s Eve do ya in? We will have the cure! For one day only get a Fulton Hockey Fight - a bloody mary beer made with Chill City Chugger and house-made mix! We will also have the release of Jaromir Lagr, a hockey prop photo stop fully stocked with hockey mullets, special edition screen printed t-shirts, and some other surprises throughout the day! Fun starts at noon!
Well now we do! Moon Howler is our first ever year-round hazy IPA. It's currently on tap exclusively here at the taproom for you to enjoy. And look for it on shelves after the next full moon in late January!
Hanukkah, Christmas, Festivus...they'll all be over, but really, do you need a calendar-made excuse to get together with your favorites? Well, if you do, here's a good one: A Winter Beer Dinner at Fulton Taproom!
Turn off the stove, put down the leftovers, and come enjoy a cozy, curated 3-course meal made right in our kitchen. Each course will feature a beer pairing made right here in our small batch brewery — beers you can't find in the wild or in a can! Space is extremely limited for this special event! Buy your tickets now and give one as a gift. We cannot wait to see you!
Feeling festive? If not, you will after a pint and a few tunes from local artists Quartette Monette! They will be playing nostalgic Americana as well as holiday classics. It's free! Can't beat that.
You know them and love them. Now find them here every Sunday for trivia! Come for the questions, stay for the beer. Special Trivia events to be announced soon.
STILL GOING ON! Last minute Secret Santa exchange? Cousin showed up from out of town? Just don't know what to get Aunt Maisel? We've got a great, albeit not terribly unique, deal for you! Every $50 of gift cards purchased, get a $10 Bonus*!
*the necessary fine print : $10 bonus to be redeemed for $10 off Taproom a single purchase between 1/1/2022 - 12/31/2022. No change given, not redeemable for cash. Cannot be used towards special events or on Fulton products outside of the taproom.
We cannot wait to see you!

How is it possible that we're already halfway between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Don't know how it happened so fast, but somehow tomorrow's already the 10th. I’ve got a lot of fun stuff to share, and you've undoubtedly got lots to do this month, so let’s get through some critical beer news and get you on your way!
THE MOON IS FULL. THE SKY IS CLEAR. THE BEER...IS NOT? SOMETHING HAZY IS ON THE WAY
The first full moon of 2022 will bring a brand new year-round beer from Fulton. Moon Howler is the first ever Hazy IPA to make it onto our year-round calendar. Yah, we know, took us long enough...let's just say we've taken our time to make this one really nice. Moon Howler is all hopped up with Citra, Bravo, and Eukanot, and clocks in at 6.5% ABV. Moon Howler will start hitting shelves in late January, though you might find it in our taproom even sooner...by the next full moon, in fact.
MAKE ONE LESS DECISION THIS YEAR.
The holidays are a time of important decisions: What gifts to get my loved ones? Which ugly sweater to show up in? What should I watch first, Home Alone or Elf?
We can't help you with all of the important decisions you need to make, but we have to admit we're pretty darn competent at filling a fridge. When it comes to choosing beverages to bring to your holiday gatherings, we’re helping you take the decision out of it with the Fulton Beer & Seltzer Mixed Pack. With Lonely Blonde, 300 IPA, Blood Orange hard seltzer and Citrus Ginger hard seltzer conveniently crammed into one 12-pack, there's something for everyone in there. Not only convenient, this is also (to our admittedly limited knowledge) the first time beer and seltzer have been wrapped into the same package....so, when you show up at the Christmas party with Beer & Seltzer Mixed Pack under your arm, your friends, family, and fellow partygoers will surely recognize you as a thought leader and person of refined taste. Which is nice.
Pick one up at your nearest retailer today.
Inching toward a new year means we’re also getting closer to another Fulton Gran Fondo. After skipping a year in 2020 (y'know, for 2020 reasons) and holding the 2021 version in September, we're happy to announce that the 2022 Gran Fondo will be returning to our traditional early May date; specifically Saturday, May 7, 2022. Registration for the 2022 Fulton Gran Fondo and Medio Fondo opens on New Year’s Day, so if you're the "I like to have my whole year planned out on January 1st" type or the "I'm finally gonna get in shape and ride my bike 100 miles this year" type or just the "I like to save some coin" type, head over to fultongranfondo.com between January 1st and 11:59pm on Jan. 7 to sign up.
Holidazzle is back at Loring Park this year and we’re excited to share that we’ll once again be bringing (part of) the fun. On December 17, 18 and 19, we’ll have two Fulton tents providing refreshment and merriment with Fulton beer and seltzer, non-alcoholic cider, and water. Hope to see you there!
Okay, that’s enough from me. Happy holidays to you and yours from all of us at Fulton!
-Ryan Petz, CEO & Co-Founder
Hello Friends,
Me again, how are ya?!
Merry, Happy, Holly, Jolly!! Warm wishes to you and yours. We've got the taproom halls decked and a heavy dose of hygge on the patio, all the perfect atmosphere for enjoying a holiday pint; and of course, we've got those too! However you choose to celebrate the season, I hope you can take a moment to spend with us.
And here's how!
We've got a great, albeit not terribly unique, deal for you! Every $50 of gift cards purchased, get a $10 Bonus*!! We know, we know, everyone's got a gift card promotion this holiday season, but, "ya don't mess with traditions!" Besides, isn't it nice to be rewarded for buying gifts? Even if those gifts are just for yourself?
*the necessary fine print : $10 bonus to be redeemed for $10 off Taproom a single purchase between 1/1/2022 - 12/31/2022. No change given, not redeemable for cash. Cannot be used towards special events or on Fulton products outside of the taproom.
Has the unseasonably warm weather thrown off your internal clock and you suddenly find yourself scrambling for that perfect gift? Never fear, we've got a mid-month event to help. Join us for Presents & Pints! We will be featuring an indoor bazaar of local vendors to buy all your last minute presents, with a beer in hand! You can't do that at the mall!
And what's harder than shopping for the gifts? Wrapping them. We've got you covered there too as Infinite Ingredient, local non-profit will be on hand wrapping any and all gifts. Seriously, bring the gifts you've got tucked away in a closet that are not wrapped! They will be collecting donations and making your holidays a little easier.
A pause to talk about the reason all the fun events are even planned - The beer.
STRANGE POWERS | 6.4% ABV - The science and magic of a centrifuge - dry hopped with Citra, Ekuanot, and Bravo hops - West Coast IPA
COMING SOON - T.B.D | Belgian Dubbel
TAPPING JANUARY 1st - Jaromir Lagr | Dark Czech Lager
We are getting ready to bring in some great new merchandise in 2022, but we have over 10 years of sweet merch to sell to make room. We've found some Fulton vintage and are putting on a Garage Sale the weekend of 12/10 - 12/12. Posters, t-shirts, hats and more for the Fulton fan in your life - and again, that person might be you, and we are great secret keepers!
As always, thanks for reading and being a part of our community. Whether you come in everyday or have only been here once - you're what makes our job great, mostly because you make our great job possible. Thank you for your continued love and support. We will see you soon, except on the following dates and times :
