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. 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 16: Gastro Non Grata:
Come to the parking lot of The Modern Cafe for Gastro Non Grata. We'll
be on stage pouring samples & talking about brewing and beer at
around 4:00. For those who haven't been to their shows, just think
better eating + smarter drinking + rock'n'roll. What else do you need
to know? http://gastronongrata.com/gng_final_pages/About.html
May 17: Yappee Hour at Pairings:
No, that's not a typo: it's happy hour, doggystyle. 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.
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.
May 21: Meet the Brewers Night at Cherokee Tavern:
We'll be hanging out from happy hour onwards, talking beer and
what-not. If you haven't been to the Cherokee yet, it's a
great neighborhood hangout, and we highly recommend
coming--not that you have to wait for us to be there.
May 28: Common Roots Cafe Meet the Brewers:
Common Roots is truly one of the coolest places in Minneapolis, and
they do local like almost nobody else. We're all about that, so we'll
be out on the patio to pour some samples and talk brewing from 7:00 on.
Extra points for riding your bike.
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.
Take the long weekend to regroup, because rumor has it that The Lonely
Blonde is just around the corner...
