[mba] FW: Fulton, May, and you: What you need to know

FYI //Mike Behrendt From: Fulton Beer [mailto:beernews@fultonbeer.com] Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2010 11:10 AM To: mgbrew(a)comcast.net Subject: Fulton, May, and you: What you need to know Hopstar <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs052/1102676686367/img/3.gif> Fulton Beer Ordinary Guys Brewing Extraordinary Beer 5/1/2010 Greetings! We've been meaning to have a word with you. It's just that, well...you've been drinking a lot. Or at least, a lot of Fulton. We're in 60 bars right now, and the waiting list seems to be getting longer, not shorter. On that note, we're cranking up production significantly this month. We've had a lot of questions about bottles. We're working hard to get our packaging ready, but bottles are still several months away. We're shooting for late fall. In the mean time, keep supporting all the fantastic bars that have been supporting us. The response we've been getting has been truly humbling--we thought people would be excited about a new Minneapolis beer company, but we underestimated it by a factor of about ten. So, thanks for helping us out us as we grow. We're nothing short of thrilled to be in every bar we're in, but we'd love just as much to get beer to everyone who's asked for it. Brings to mind one of our favorite G'N'R songs...Patience. In other news, we're working on a few fun projects. One of them is the Fulton Racing team. We'll have about ten runners in the Grandma's Marathon next month. Be sure to cheer them on if you're in attendance. Maybe even sneak them a beer at a water stop. More details to come on the other projects... Target Field has Fulton... ...nearby, that is. Sorry, cruel joke. In all seriousness, we've heard some grumbling about the limited selection of local beers at Target Field. While we can't do much to help with that just yet, we can point you in the direction of a Fulton on your way to & from the game. A bunch of great bars in the Warehouse district are carrying us. Look them up at http://fultonbeer.com/wordpress/locations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103355346617&s=131&e=0010zmWYY6v62rZaLhjQ-jys o9XuNyohpXfk6ir_Ma3rCKuhUhSP4jiYLQMXGm6NxXswJYIZPrprg8Omh3xwcIUy4GwXUFL3TWxj 8X_h3niXKMyqH8JyYpqa6WZZhqhiTF88kSmLTp82AA=> . And, if you're stopping at a bar that doesn't yet carrry Fulton, be sure to ask for us. We're pretty sure you'll still be able to enjoy yourself at the game--the new field is gorgeous, the Twins are rolling, and you do have great local beers including Summit, Schell's, Grain Belt, and Finnegan's to choose from. Lo0king for something to do this month? Look, we're all budgeting our calories at this point in anticipation of swimsuit season. Or at least, we should be. Well, it's time to pencil in a few more beer calories, because we've got a great schedule of May events to mingle, imbibe, and enjoy our fine city. May 12: 14th Annual East Side Wine Tasting: Yes, we know it says wine tasting in the title, but we promise there will be beer there too. This a great event benefitting East Side Neighborhood Services. The event takes place at the Nicollet Island Pavillion from 5- 8 pm.

Well, you know what we mean--you can bring your dog to happy hour at Pairings. What happens after that is up to your dog. Regardless, it sounds like our kind of event. We'll be there, with dogs. http://pairingsfoodandwine.com/about/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103355346617&s=131&e=0010zmWYY6v62pRGstW1YwiN 8V1njSp1K4y4MoXlndJURzS1UXWc7QEmV3jGZqfe-ECb3zIkuI0VqGziIcmangIhL8UFoxTV72vS o_aU_A64WV3uSuaySWfYqpyWuj8kXx3HZ1FquGdOw0=> May 18: Bartending at Stub & Herb's: In honor of American Craft Beer Week, Stub & Herb's has invited us to bartend on Tuesday night. Though it may be a conflict of interest, we'll even pour you a non-Fulton from the great tap lineup at Stub's...not that you'd ask us to do that. Just make sure it's an American craft. http://www.stubandherbsbar.com/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103355346617&s=131&e=0010zmWYY6v62pIij8UfxTEd NeVBrtGxHN0yMmjM9YndLzmHeEMXXwr39i6pst1Q_1U8nxIKVhl1izSZvwAQdZety4dyEqCgGKdW WgCZyYzoNAQxwVjaMV0aLgQgcnzzs4t> http://americancraftbeerweek.org/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103355346617&s=131&e=0010zmWYY6v62rDjexPwZMlz MGPqx5UD6qbmsuBPEilVG-OFwsl2IBdJVhoPtRBIjPjRN5nc0g7nbyVfps1EqaamvABbKpH7tD-x gGvFvjeSAAKaBqoQhmCZ_OBsXaB624c> May 21: Meet the Brewers Night at Cherokee Tavern: We'll be hanging out from happy hour onwards, talking beer and what-not.

Extra points for riding your bike. http://commonrootscafe.com/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103355346617&s=131&e=0010zmWYY6v62q6pFF-88T4Z ukCd0UqKhWIW4v8doR7VgbcaoQgsbN5CoNqAAQAsxAVWZmDLKnw-jsZaCjPGtRZdfweyDJMsCnOs mCM40-9uRm1jXf2T4Obbg==> May 29: Enjoy the long weekend. It may be Memorial Day, but if you've been to even half of these events, you may not even want a beer by now. And that's okay.
