...And you're about to have two additional local drinking options onboard. Starting March 1 -- hey, that's today! -- Fulton's Lonely Blonde ale and Prairie Organic Spirits gin and vodka will be available in the skies.

Hopstar Session IPA | Fulton Brewing
Fulton, which had a humble beginning in a one-car garage in South Minneapolis back in 2006, has become a craft beer staple in the land of ten thousand lakes. One of Fulton’s year-round beers, the Hopstar Session IPA, is one of the many reasons why.
This session IPA is delectable. At first sniff, citrus, grapefruit and passionfruit waft from the glass – a fitting preview of flavors come. Tropical fruit is at the forefront of this brew’s light and aromatic body thanks to Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops. The carbonation and lightness of the drink itself, which at times tickled the taste buds, was an ideal canvas for these fruity notes. This finishes crisp and clean – and therefore leaves the drinker completely ready for another sip.
Fulton Brewing in Minneapolis, Minnesota has announced its full 2019 beer release calendar for the new year.
In addition to the brewery's popular year-round offerings, which include 300 IPA, Sweet Child of Vine IPA, Lonely Blonde and Standard Lager (among others), the brewery will make numerous additions to its rotating Garage Series.

An OG among the garage taproom lot, Fulton might be one of Minnesota’s best-kept secrets. Its Sweet Child of Vine is a hoppy-sweet staple, and the Lonely Blonde is a reliable lunch-pail kind of brew. Doing simple things exceptionally well has been Fulton's calling card, but there’s plenty of creativity to be found as well. Its taproom, which just launched a permanent Airstream-housed kitchen from chef Joe Majeski, is full of playful beers that are sometimes so good they have to become a permanent fixture like the Mosaic-hopped 300. It’s also ideally situated for grabbing catching a Twins or Timberwolves game.
Winter Seasonal to Try: 300 Brut IPA (7% ABV)
Fulton is getting on the Brut train with a new mixed pack. The four-pack has two variations on 300, a west coast IPA crammed full of Mosaic hops. The 300 Mango is a solid drink, and the mango isn’t overwhelming. However, the star of the show is the Brut IPA variation.
Holidazzle continues at Loring Park in Minneapolis this weekend. Along with the festive fun are a number of food and drink offerings. (3:38) WCCO Saturday Morning - Dec. 8, 2018
