Made in MN: Fulton Brewing, NE MPLS

Written by Beau Farrell | Sep 2, 2015 4:30:00 PM

The story of Fulton Brewing has humble beginnings, much like a garage rock band. In fact, it did begin in a garage. The story goes that four Minneapolis home-brewers created recipes in a garage back in 2009, and six years later, these guys are now creating some extraordinary craft beers you can find on our shelves. Congratulations to Peter Grande, Brian Hoffman, Jim Diley, and Ryan Petz – the brewers behind Fulton Beer.

And now they’re ready for something really special. General Mills – yes, the Kings of Breakfast Cereal, is teaming up with the Fulton Brewery guys to produce a first-of-its-kind partnership: HefeWheaties. 

Pretty good for starting in a garage.

Your can read more about the partnership in the StarTribune, but that's not all these guys are cooking in their brand new 50,000 square foot production brewery in Northeast Minneapolis. 

Year-Round Beers

Seasonal beer

  • The Libertine · 8.5% abv · Autumn

This malty imperial Red Ale topped with Rye will be available September- November, so keep an eye out for this special release. 

Hearty Russian Imperial available December – February. This says drink me while sitting near the fireplace while wearing flannel and slippers. 

  • The Expat · 5.7% · Spring

A Rye Saison that bids farewell to winter and hello to a new season. 

Summer Saison available June – August. This crisp brew says Minnesota summer.

Of course, these guys are always crafting something new in their lab. Minnesota’s craft beer revolution keeps marching on and we’re all a bit happier for all these hops. Great job guys.
