Fulton Beer 2015 year in review
Farewell, 2015.
It’s been a remarkable year at Fulton, a year of firsts. In our sixth year in business, we finally weren't planning or building a new brewery--for the first time in our history! With the new brewery up & running, we were able to focus on all sorts of firsts on the beer front. We got to put Lonely Blonde and Sweet Child of Vine in cans, and seasonals like Expat and Randonneur in bottles – not to mention Garage Series favorites like Insurrection and 300.
New collaborations went down this year too: Horatio, our first (but not last!) collaboration with Fair State was voted best of the fest at In Cahoots. We went downstream to New Orleans to brew Messipi, our collab with NOLA Brewing. Back closer to home, we hooked up with our North Loop neighbors at Bachelor Farmer to brew Lodestar, an ongoing collaborative effort that can be tasted in our taproom or at BF any time. And of course, there was HefeWheaties. Did that even really happen? Yes...yes it did. And it was certainly the first time anyone ever collaborated with Wheaties to make a beer.
Our barrel-aging program saw several firsts too: we released Barrel-Aged Maitrise and Expat for the first time, and we’re currently aging Patience and Worthy Adversary (in Cognac and Port barrels, respectively) for the first time as well. And the barreled version of Messipi became the first beer we've ever fermented with brettanomyces. If you're into that sort of thing, keep your ear to the ground for more news in the not-too-distant future…
Our thirsty neighbors in Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota finally got a taste of Fulton at home as we added distribution in their states this year. In other out-of-state news, we travelled to Colorado and entered our beers in the Great American Beer Fest for the first time, and won our first medal – a Bronze for Lonely Blonde.
Speaking of festivals and parties, we had some monstrous ones this year. The Fulton Gran Fondo drew over 1,200 bike riders and even more fans to the block party. We were fortunate enough to become the craft beer sponsor for Soundset, the official beer of the Holidazzle, the host of Artcrank, and a partner of Northern Spark. And our Ful10 Fund was able to partner with more local non-profits than ever this year, including the Randy Shaver Fund, Operation Warm, and many, many more.
George Costanza once said, “You know, if you take everything I’ve accomplished in my entire life and condense it down into one day…it looks decent!” We feel the same way about our past year. When you condense it down, it looks decent. Far better than decent, though, is the absolutely wonderful community of people that collectively bring all of this beer and fun into existence every day. Our top-notch employees, dedicated suppliers, committed customers, and loyal drinkers are what makes the world of Fulton a possibility.
We’ll be getting together with a few of our best friends and favorite beers tonight to celebrate the year that was and toast to the year to come. We hope you get to do the same, and as the clock strikes midnight, know that we’ll be raising our glass to you. Cheers and see you in 2016 – we’ve got an even bigger and better year planned and can't wait to tell you all about it.

To Save Farming We have to Save Farmers | Eric Sannerud | TEDxMinneapolisSalon
It is a stark fact that our farmers are aging – and not many are replacing them.
Eric is a fourth-generation back-to-the-land farmer. A University of Minnesota grad, he is breaking new ground to keep his family farm in business. Eric Grows hops, and his crop is selling to top breweries in the cities from Fulton Beer, Day Block Brewing and more. With “dirt in his blood”, he became well acquainted with significant issue in the food system’s future: our farmers are aging. Ever since, he has worked to find ways to resolve this problem: he co-founded the Sandbox Center for Regenerative Entrepreneurship, an incubator and learning space for young farmers and food entrepreneurs, helped found Urban Oasis in St. Paul, holds a leadership role in the MInnesota Young Food Professionals group, and mentors students at the University of Minnesota. This year Eric wasr awarded 2016 40 Under 40 from Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Footage Shows Man Begging For His Life Before Officer Shoots Him Dead in Hotel
Video shows an unarmed man begging for his life before police shot him dead. Officers had responded to reports of someone pointing a gun from a window at a La Quinta Inn Hotel near Phoenix last year. In the video, Daniel Shaver is seen crawling towards the officers with his hands up while begging, “Please don’t shoot me.” But he reaches towards his waist and an officer opens fire, killing him. Police say they thought he was reaching for a gun. The officer has been found not guilty of murder.
Elisa Korenne Steamboats on the Red
Looking at the shallow twists and turns of the Red River, it's hard to imagine that steam-powered paddlewheel boats were once the most important transportation link between St. Paul and Winnipeg. This original song by Minnesota musician Elsia Korenne tells the tale of willpower and cut-throat competition that brought steamboats to the Red and made them work.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
