It's that time of year folks were we bundle up, grab a friend or the fam and head to Loring Park for Minneapolis' most festive holiday event. You guessed it- Holidazzle. We're taking over the heated beer garden for the 5th consecutive year to bring you games, guest appearances and not one but two custom Holidazzle beers. For those who are looking for something extremely easy-drinking and familiar we have created Goodwill Gold- a super light, crispy, un-fussy Golden Lager that will surely please even the non-craft drinker in your group. And for anyone looking to ratchet-up the good times with something fit for the season we're offering Small Talk Stout- our Chocolate Oatmeal Milk Stout. It's full bodied, chocolately, and incredibly smooth. Find both special beers, Fulton favorites like Lonely Blonde and Sweet Child of Vine and 2 of our new(er) Hard Seltzers. The festival kicks off Friday November 29th at 5pm...see you there!
Our annual collaborative beer release with Jameson comes as a brand new beer to our lineup this year by way of our very first Brown Ale. Jameson Barrel-Aged Brown is the beautiful benefactor of a careful and complex marriage of malts, totaling a half dozen different varieties. Despite this hefty malt presence, it's uniquely balanced and goes down remarkably (too) easy. The beer rested over three months in Jameson Whiskey Barrels-adding to it's depth and imparting trace hints of vanilla and oak flavors. It is medium bodied and will surprise you with it's smooth texture, clean finish, and overall drinkability. This is easy, late Autumn drinking defined. You can get your hands on a pint beginning next week at select Fulton accounts across the metro.
If you're into mixed martial arts and craft beer, then we've got a dream event for you this Saturday 11/16 right here at our NE MPLS production brewery. We've brought back Fulton Brew Jitsu and it's going to be bigger and better than before. But if you don't grab your ticket now, you'll miss out on all the fun (and trust us, there's plenty of fun planned).
The breath hangs in the air. There's a crisp smell of a season changing all around you. And the views from the (free) beer garden include scenes of personal fortitude and perseverance. Where does a scene like this unfold on a chilly November weekend in MN? Lions Valley Park Place, of course, at the Fulton Star Cross. Our big fall-time Cyclocross event is back again and proves to be bigger-than-ever before (it's the Upper Midwest Regional CX Championship this year!!!). Whether you're riding in one of the heats, helping your fellow riders with a hand-up or just cheering from the beer garden-there's a place for you this weekend at the Fulton Star Cross. See the All-City X Fulton Cyclocross team in action while enjoying some of your fave Fultons. See you in the park!
Happy Birthday to us. New mixed 12 packs are in stores and in stock now. Our new throwback pack is chocked full of hits from yesterday and today including: Libertine (Imperial Red Ale), Ringer (American Pale Ale), Insurrection (Imperial IPA), and Lonely Blonde (American Blonde Ale). With a little something for everyone and a nod of nostalgia to boot, we're confident this is trip down memory lane will be a delicious and memorable one for you and yours.
What's a 10th anniversary without a few celebratory beers to enjoy? And, if you're sharing you best make sure there is enough to go around, right!? It's in that spirit that we are excited to bring back (temporarily!) 3 of our beloved beers from our past for one more go-around. Introducing the Fulton 10 Year "Throwback Pack". Beginning next week you'll be able to pick up these mixed 12-ers chocked full of Fulton hits at wherever you buy Fulton. The chart-toppers include our all-time #1 Lonely Blonde, and Ringer, our highly-repeatable American Pale Ale. Also included in this box set are deep cuts like Insurrection, a cult favorite Imperial IPA and an Imperial Red Ale that dates back to our very first homebrew recipe by the name of Libertine. So sit back, put on your favorite record, crack open one of these hits and let the good times role.
The leaves are changing, the temps are lower and there's a certain crispiness to the air most days. Fall descends on Minneapolis in a powerful way and at once leaves us longing for sunnier days while embracing "sweater weather". One thing that doesn't change with the season though is Minnesota's thirst for the fine craft beer. If you're like us, you probably enjoy the beers AND the seasonal shift all at once at events like this Saturday's Autumn Brew Review. We're happy to report we'll be in attendance pouring some exclusive and hard(er)-to-get beers from our cellar (Sweet Child Old Fashioned anyone?) alongside all our Hard Seltzers. The fest starts at 5 and is on Boom Island. SEE. YOU. THERE.

Find 6pks of Proper Porter starting this week where you buy Fulton.
World class Jiu-Jitsu returns to Minnesota next month at the 2nd Fulton Brew Jitsu event. One part superfights and one part seminar, Fulton Brewjitsu brings top BJJ athletes from across the world to Minneapolis for one special day of instruction, community, and entertainment. Oh, and of course, beer.
The 2019 Fulton Brew Jitsu is brought to you with the support of Fuji Mats and is in collaboration with We Defy and Brewjitsu ATX. Whether you're just wanting to watch, or you're ready to Gi-up for the seminar portion of the event, you can take your pick here.
OH GABF! The Great American Beer Festival is just days away and we're giddy about heading to Denver to attend. It's what some call the pinnacle beer festival here in the U.S. and we'd agree with that in a heartbeat. And in the past 2 years we'd like to think things have got even better with the addition of the Jameson Caskmates Barrel-Aged Beer Garden. For the 2nd year in a row we're meeting up with our other Drinking Buddies in Jameson's Caskmates program for a weekend full of oak-aged beer goodness. Headed to Denver yourself? Come say hi and sample one of our 3 special barrel-aged beers.
It's hard to believe, (and it's even weirder to type) but this month marks our 10 year anniversary of the first Fulton beer poured in the public. It's a milestone that really wasn't easy to envision at times, especially as we've kept our noses to the proverbial grind stone this past decade trying to keep up with a very, very thirsty MN (and beyond). But we're here, we're proud, and we're ready to party with you. This Saturday at Minneapolis' first taprom (ahem, ours!) we're cranking up the tunes, tapping some exclusives and dishing out good vibes with everyone who attends. Party starts at 2pm and is free.
SEE
YOU
THERE!
It's a long, long time no matter how you dice it up. Millions of beers, thousands of events, and countless good times have all added up to 10 long years with you by our side. We're celebrating this milestone in proper Fulton style with a big ol' blowout of a Taproom party. The fun will be flowing all day, but the party starts at 2pm and is free to attend. We've enlisted some musical help from a selection of our favorite MN bands. And what's a birthday party without special beers!?!? We've got a few liquid surprises for those who get there early.
Hope to see you there, friends.
Supporting our communities through charitable partnerships has always been a priority at Fulton. That goes for many of our events, like Fulton Brewjitsu. At the first Fulton Brewjitsu in 2016, we chose to team up with Mission 22 and We Defy Foundation to raise awareness about veteran suicide and how the Jiu Jitsu community can provide support to disabled veterans in need. In 2019, we are building on that! This year, Fulton will be donating $1 from the sale of each beer at the event to We Defy Foundation. We hope whether you're active in the sport or just down for to support (and enjoy a few beers) you'll join us at our NE Production Brewery for the return of Fulton Brewjitsu.
Red Wagon Pizza Co. is commemorating 5 years of serving pizza on Penn and are celebrating with a barn burner of a parking lot party. Meet us in South MPLS for some good times, classy beverages, hot pizza and entertainment for the whole family.
There's tons of action to get in on when you're there, we promise.
This is a free event and there will be pepperoni, duh.

With over a dozen spots to quench your State Fair thirst with a Fulton this year you might find yourself overwhelmed with options and opportunities. In this case, we think this is a good thing. Save the above map on your phone for an easy-finding/easy-drinking reference when you find yourself at The Great Minnesota Get Together.
As much as we anticipate all the new and exciting State Fair-exclusive foods to come out each year, we know they're all better with a good beer to wash them down with. That's where we come in, naturally. And what's more, this year we've got 4 custom beers at some of our favorite State Fair stops. Read below for the break down on them all.
MANGO STAR at LuLu's Public House (Session IPA is twice dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops and fruited with mango purée.)
ORANGE PUSH-UP POP PALE ALE at Cafe Caribe (This pale ale features bright citrus and tropical fruit notes that are matched with a light malt body, finished with orange cream and rimmed with zesty orange sugar.)
PRICKLY PEAR IPA at Frontier Bar (IPA is fruited with prickly pear purée.)
STRAWBERRY BLONDE at Hildebrand Concessions within Grandstand (Fruity American blonde ale with a delicate fragrance of German noble hops, a touch of white wheat and a strawberry purée to create a crisp and smooth sipper.)
Do good, feel good, and drink well. You can accomplish all three at once whilst visiting the Fulton Taproom. Get yourself a sweet discount by bringing in some school supplies in support of the Boys & Girls Club of the Twin Cities. Make this perfect trifecta happen this weekend though-the promotion is ending soon!

The biggest and best beer festival of the year is back in the mile-high city of Denver this October. Better yet, Jameson Irish Whiskey and it's 22 American craft brewery partners (ahem, Drinking Buddies) are back too. Meet us in the most badass barrel-aged beer garden in all of the land at this year's GABF. But, you'll need tickets to get in on all the fun. Get yours here.
Your favorite bar's favorite beer is back with another visual reminder of the importance of enjoying some down time, with friends, in your favorite drinking establishments. Cheers!
Let there be light! More specifically, the life-giving light from our buddy the Sun. Excuse us if we gush about this star being the center of our attention for a moment, but we're just a couple months into having our finished Solar Panels active and it's hard not to be excited already. As part of a major expansion and renovation of our NE MPLS production brewery last year in which we upgraded equipment, increased our capacity and expanded our footprint, we also installed 864 solar panels on our roof. And now finally, they're up-and-running and producing a much appreciated resource for us. Better yet, they're helping to ease our use of non-renewable resources while saving us on our monthly electric bill (trust us, it's huge). In fact, our electric production in June alone helped avoid the creation of 74 tons of CO2. We're pumped to see how much we can offset our needs through our own production this year and in the many years to come. And, in the months ahead we'll be sharing some fun and impactful stats on our sustainability measures.
All this sun talk has us thirsty, naturally. And if you get as thirsty as we do this time of year you probably like to pack some appropriate summer beers for going with on all your weekend outings (or mid-week adventures). As fans of cold beer in particular, we just want to make sure you're packing some the appropriate beer insulators, too. Your beer (and hands) will be happier if you do. This Public Service Announcement is brought to you by Solar Vortex.

Minneapolis' most jovial beer festival returns to Loring Park tonight in celebration of Minneapolis Pride weekend. This year's theme pays homage to the art form of "drag". In that spirit, our special Pride Dabbler beer is inspired by our favorite scene from the 1994 hit, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of The Desert. We've taken Grapefruit Lonely Blonde and infused it with watermelon, lime, and served in a lavendar sugar-rimmed cup. We call it "Paloma, Queen of The Dabbler". Come see us in the park beginning at 5:30.
Kinda like the dopest dance party ever? Probably. But you won't know unless you attend. Brought to you by your favorite MPLS MADE brewery (Fulton, duh) and the Current at everyone's favorite danceteria. Meet us downtown at 9 and put those dancing shoes on.
A weekend-long pride pool party? Yes. You read that right. See you there!
