Fun brewery downtown! Great beer and fast service. We tried the Lonely Blonde. Would love to come back to try the food sometime! read more

Got confronted by one of the employees while I was walking my dog. He said" do I have to walk through that sh@t". I told him that my dog didn't do anything! As he clearly looked at the area my dog was in. There wasn't anything there and he walked into Fulton through the employee entrance and didn't apologize! Also the alleged area he was talking about is not on Fulton property! read more

Big fan of Fulton brewing! They were very friendly here and the food came out super fast for a Saturday. I enjoy that Fulton has TVs (unlike some breweries) and a decent menu selection for both food and alcohol. Nothing SUPER special to offer, but a pretty dang solid establishment if you ask me! read more

Staff was fantastic. I am from out of town and was hoping to try a variety so was disappointed they dont do flights, however they do free samples and spent the time to really explain their beers on a busy night. Lots of great seasonal and limited options outside their standard lineup. I love beer, but customer service can make or break the experience in my opinion, and this place killed it. Will come back next time I am in town! read more

Super cute! Lovely outside patio. good mount of merch & they had a local fresh produce market! Love it! Beer was yummmm loved the sour.

This place was great! Being underage I don't often go to brewery's but I was excited to go when I learned that they craft their own sodas. The location is great, very rustic, hip feeling. The Citrus ginger ale was the perfect balance between spicy and sweet. The food truck in front was incredible! Best fish and chips I've ever had. read more

Fulton Brewery - Citrus ginger ale - Breweries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Updating my review: the beer is top notch. I would highly recommend anything they make barrel aged. I wish I could get it in my area.

Location location location. I'd say that plays very well for Fulton. Stop by a brewery taproom before a Twins game? Who wouldn't want that? I'm also a home brewer who has traveled the country visiting breweries along the way. I'll have to echo a prior review and say the beers are rather pedestrian here. My intention is not to bash them but personally, if I were to read tons of reviews saying they have great beer at Fulton, having never gone, I'd end up being disappointed. I'll list them descending order, best to worst. Sweet Child of Vine (IPA) - A very cloudy IPA with some citrus notes, very drinkable but could use some refining. This is their flagship. The Ringer (Pale Ale) - Very close to my favorite. Nicely hopped and goes perfectly with summer and baseball. Worthy Adversary (Russian Imperial Stout) - I'd say it's an average representation of the style but Darkness it is not, not even close. That being said, if you ever see "War and Peace" which is Worthy Adversary with peace coffee added that is much much much better, close to darkness territory. Lonely Blonde (blonde ale) - Not a fan of blonde ales but that being said it's par for the course and is probably what most people associate with summer and baseball. The Libertine ("Imperial" Red ale) - Just not a fan of this one at all. Really malty and just not very well balanced IMO. As I said before, my intent is not to bash them but I support MN beer. In doing so I must not mislead people and say every MN beer is awesome because our beer scene will never grow if everyone is satisfied with average beers. None the less, I'll still stop by before every Twins game for a pint. read more

Brought a bottle of water in and staff interigated what it was. What if one wants something NA that isn't on your menu to go along with the beer that they buy from your brewery? read more

I love beer, and the Fulton Taproom is one of my favorite stops on a beautiful spring day. The Sweet Child of Vine has been a favorite of mine since they started selling bottles in the local liquor stores a couple of years ago, and really, it does taste better directly from the tap at the brewery. The patio can get a bit crazy before and after Twin's games, but if you go in on a day when they are a little less hectic, the taproom staff will take the time to explain the beer in detail. Knowledgeable and passionate, the staff really makes this place special. My bartender took the time to explain the flavor profile and brewing process of their regular taps as well as the "garage series" beer, which is a limited beer available only at the tap room. They even let us try little samples of the beers that we weren't familiar with. I also love the food trucks that they partner with! I don't work downtown, so I don't get the oppurtunity to try the food trucks in Minneapolis very often. They rotate the food trucks every day. You can also order delivery from local restaurants like Pizza Luce or Black Sheep. read more

Posted close time is 10pm Last call at 940pm Walked in at 935 - only time for 1 beer And they don't offer flights??? But they do let you sample - so sort of like a free flight went with the rye saison - quite tasty $5 pints - bargain Looks like about 10 beers on tap 15-20 seats at the bar Beer tables throughout the place Great out door seating areas for these muggy nights in MN First stop on a 3 brewery stop while I am here in the twin cities. Update while I sit at the bar - dropped a star - people leaving the Twins game and pouring in. This place is like a block from the ballpark. Turning everyone away. Idk but seems like the perfect time to sell a bunch of beer. read more

By now most locals are probably familiar with Fulton and their flagship lineup that includes Lonely Blonde, The Ringer and Sweet Child of Vine. If you're from out of town, I highly suggest hitting up this taproom and trying those three aforementioned beers, plus any of the other half dozen or so brews they might have on tap at the time...because Fulton is one of Minnesota's mainstay breweries that makes fantastic beer, and the guys that run the place are great people. Some of my favorite Fulton brews: Sweet Child of Vine - A well balanced IPA Insurrection - A much more hoppy IPA than Sweet Child of Vine Libertine - A malt-heavy Imperial Red (rye) Ale (A Fall seasonal, sometimes available in a Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged version) Worthy Adversary - A rich Russian Imperial Stout w/ roasted coffee + chocolate notes (A winter seasonal) Maitrise - A strong (9.5% ABV) "dry, tart + fruity" Imperial Farmhouse Ale Tanager - Barrel Fermented Brett IPA (sour IPA) Specter - NE IPA (super smooth and citrusy IPA - Limited, Fall Release) Culture Project Series (They're barrel-aged sours, bottled and available in the taproom) Beyond the beer: -They're typically closed Mondays, unless there's a Twins Home Game (but warning: it can be packed before a game). -They now offer FREE tours on Saturdays at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm + 4pm. 20 person max per tour, and you must sign up in person on the day off. -A food truck is on hand to get some grub almost every day they're open. -No dogs allowed on their patio :( It's a bummer, because we'd visit a lot more often if they were. 2017 UPDATE: -They now allow dogs on their new "street level" patio!!! Still no four-legged patrons on the original upper level patio. -The no longer have outside food trucks, but that's because they have their own Fulton kitchen housed in an Airstream parked out front! You can order from the bar and have your order delivered to your table like any fast casual restaurant. Now all outside food is prohibited. read more

My experience with Fulton has mostly been limited to special events: the Gran Fondo in the spring and Artcrank, both at the brewery site. However, I have gotten to the taproom a few times for the Mill City Running associated run (first Wednesday of the month at 6p) and event bag pickup for the Gran Fondo. Service at the taproom is always excellent. I'm greeted with a smile, and the tender is always glad to give recommendations for one of the many great brews. There's always space, and I never have trouble ordering. There's plenty of bike parking available, too. I loves me some Fulton. read more

My credentials: I'm a home brewer. I know a thing or two about beer. I have been to enough breweries across the country to give the tour myself as soon as I see a mash tun. Suffice it to say that I'm an enthusiast. That being said, I know what I like and Fulton didn't quite have it. We stopped in an afternoon after a Twins game had let out. They had a fish and chips food truck outside (genius!) and the place was packed. The location to Target field makes this a great place to stop by after a game. However, if you drive here there is not much parking in their lot but there is some on the street. I tried a couple of the beers on tap while I enjoyed the fish and chips. Sweet Child of Vine definitely stood out. However, as far as fresh IPAs go, I've had better. In fact, I was a little disappointed with all their beers. They were good, but not any better than if you bought them in a six pack. To me, the point of going to a brewery--besides learning about how they make their beers--is to have the freshest, unpasteurized beer available. Compared to what else is available locally, I'd go someplace else first before coming back. The service was pretty good and the food truck was a great bonus. I'm glad we took the time to check it out. read more

ROCK ON. Awesome tap room in a warehouse setting. The beers here are delicious and if you are unsure what to order the bartender is sure to point you in the right direction with free samples. The picnic style tables are comfy for large groups or to share with other patrons. And don't forget to check out their selection of card/board games! Highlights: Beer - Sweet Child of Vine Board Games The Vibe Fulton Brewery = Chill read more

I love craft beer so naturally I enjoy going to the Fulton taproom. This is a really cool space with a ton of indoor seating and outdoor space so it never feels super crowded which makes it more enjoyable. The bar is also really big so you don't have to wait too long to get a beer. When it's warm out they'll have the garage doors and patios doors to make it feel like an open air concept. The best part is that they have limited beers that are exclusive to the taproom so you can try something new every time you go. You can usually expect a food truck on the weekends which makes drinking beer that much better. And the giant MPLS made sign is a great photo opp. What's not to love about this place? read more

Yay, Fulton!! It's close enough to downtown that it still feels downtown-y, but far enough that you will be able to park your car! They serve the classics (lonely blonde, sweet child of vine) with a few rotational taps. While we were there, there was the Lonestar, a Juniper Ale, created via partnership with The Bachelor Farmer! Local + local = delicious, apparently. Growlers are only $13 (most of them)! Bonus points for a dog-friendly patio and card games! read more

Landed here early on a Friday night (around 7pm) and was surprised to find this place eerily deserted. Considering breweries don't stay open too late I was expecting it to be packed when we got there. However as the night progressed more people started coming in and the decibel level got higher. If you've read some of my other bar / brewery reviews you'll know that I"m a fan of flights. This is a 4 star review because, to my disappointment, Fulton does not offer flights. WHY OH WHY? It's so easy, you have the glasses, you have the tap, put them both together and voila! UGHHHHH but at least they let you taste a few brews on the spot if you ask. I don't like this situation however because it forces you to make a quick decision while the bartender gives you his quizzical look of "you gonna make up your mind soon? I got other people to serve" instead of allowing me to calmly savor the brew and pass it around the back of my gums.... anyways..... ** Hint to Fulton Management: If you want to earn my loyalty and word-of-mouth marketing abilities please introduce a flight option so I can enjoy tasting my beer in peace at my table... thanks!** They have an overall good brew selection to appeal to a wide variety of tastes so good job there. They do a good job detailing type of beer, IBU and ABV on the board so you get a good idea what you are getting. I was however disappointed to find there's no kitchen, only overpriced (however pretty tasty) food trucks. The place itself is nice, wide-open warehouse with a good layout with benches, stools, barrels that double as tables, so you have plenty of choices. There's a terrace outside for those far-gone summer days and it's conveniently located downtown so I can walk my wobbly self home. read more

I stopped into Fulton for the first time today and I really liked the space. I moved around quite a bit and sat on the patio, then at the bar, and then on the comfiest booth I have ever sat my booty in. Seriously, where do I get some of those comfy booth benches for my life?! I hadn't had my coffee for the day so I ordered the War and Peace, which is brewed with Peace Coffee. It was the perfect start to my day, so good!! I'm mostly an IPA drinker so next I had an IPA which was probably one of the best I have had. It was so good. Service was great, everyone was very friendly. The space is really nice with lots of wooden features and some MN tributes. I think everyone should stop by before or after a Twins game....or just anytime because I dig this place. read more

Fulton Brewery - War and peace brew - Breweries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'd been to Fulton Brewery and its taproom before, once before a Twins game and once on a Friday night before going out for dinner. It's a great place to meet up with friends, and the beer is amazing. Most recently, I hosted a small party at Fulton Brewery. When I arrived, Gummy (one of the amazing staff) treated me and my guests like royalty. The atmosphere was chill, the beer selection was outstanding (something for every taste), and the food truck was superb. (I am a food snob and even I was impressed--the Cuban burrito is great!) If you haven't tried Fulton Brewery, put it on your list. I love the Lonely Blonde Ale (I'm more of a Pilsner and ale kind of guy), and their IPAs and other beers are equally as impressive. Fulton Brewery is the whole package: great beer, great location, great atmosphere, and wonderful staff. I'm so looking forward to going back! read more

I really love Fulton beer, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that I also enjoy the tap room. I went during a Twins game, so it was pretty sports bar feeling, but I am a baseball fan so that was alright. Also I am pretty sure my beer drinking partner didn't feel the same way. Oh well. What kind of people don't like baseball anyway? Also, mega points for Hola Arepa on hand. Those jerks are always in St. Paul and I never get to eat off their truck unless I'm at the farmer's market. Even better with beer. When will beer trucks be legal anyway? Can a brewery produce their own pedal pub and sell off that? Dreams, dreams. read more

The tap room is fantastic! The reasons I love this place: +Multiple beers on tap (Sweet Child of Vine and Ringer are lovely lovely lovely) +Growlers available for purchase +Now open two hours before all Twins home games +CSA pick-up location for Tangletown +Varying food trucks every day +Lots of seating inside and out +Best doorman ever +Tons of swag to purchase with such an awesome logo +Places to park cars and bikes (although actual bike racks instead of finding poles would be amazing). Need I say more? read more

Fulton has a great tap room. Lots of seating, both inside and out and the location right next to Target Field is killer. This tap room sets itself apart with the myriad of beers that are (or were) only available in the taproom. Many of the other taprooms around will carry their 2-3 year round brews and then have 1-2 specials on tap. Fulton consistently has 7-10 beers on tap, something for ever taste. My current Fulton favorite is Worthy Adversary...check it out while it is still around. read more

I'm not a big beer drinker, but I was here for an event and was in love! The tap room is amazing and the staff are so friendly. The Hola Arepa food truck was right outside and had yummy gluten free treats for me to munch on. I won a growler and gave it to my husband who went back a couple weeks later to have it filled to take home. Good prices on it too make him want to go back for more. They were giving brewery tours too! Great place and even though they only have 3 beers, it is a great atmosphere and down home vibe. read more

Love all the craft beer options in Minneapolis, and this is another great spot near Target Field. Nice open taproom with some outdoor seating options. Lonely blonde and sweet child are classic options but not really in love with other offerings. Good beer, just not my favorite. I asked a couple bartenders about some of their barrel aged bombers and they had no clue. Would have appreciated a little more knowledge regarding their specialty offerings. read more

Excellent beer! So smooth. Lonely Blonde and Sweet Child of Vine....no weird after taste. Hubby loves em both!

I was at Fulton last week and they simply ROCK. I had a few Lonely Blondes that night and by FAR my favorite of their brew. The beer was light and went well with the hot dog I split with my boyfriend from Nate Dogs, which was primarily for alcohol absorption because we were headed to Smack Shack restaurant (a future review). What I really love about Fulton is that it's in the heart of Downtown where you can find parking relatively easily, eat at the local food truck, hit the night scene, and come back to close out the bar! On this night it was the case because after dropping over $50 on an over-rated dinner we depressed. The bartender recognized us and teased us, "Back again! Want another!" Fulton, you saved the evening! read more

Fulton Brewery may be the #1 local brew in the twin cities. I must say, I was very impressed. I got the war and peace brew and it was spectacular! The menu is very extensive and can overwhelm someone who is new to the brewery scene, but the brews are well described and you find yourself knowing what you're getting into. The ambiance was quite cozy for that of a brewery especially of one that was as busy as this one was. I was pleasantly surprised by that. The workers and the people there were very warm and welcoming and handled the chaos of a busy day with poise and with a smile. They earned my tip that day, that's for sure. I will be a Fulton Brew champion going forward. Great work! read more

Fulton has some great craft brews. I've had some of their beers before and was wanting to visit the taproom. The taproom is very open and has some cool decor. Got to try the 300 Mosaic IPA and it was excellent. Also like the Lonely Blonde and the Sweet child of Vine. They had a separate room that you could use for a larger group gathering too. They had a food truck outside that smelled really good and they let people order in food too, a group had ordered some pizza from Pizza Luce, looked really good. They have great merchandise here too, if you like collecting brewery shirts or glasses. read more

I came here yesterday, walked from modist, a pretty short walk, I'd say 5 minutes at the very most, and close to target field. They have a big outdoor patio and a food truck that I think is provided by them. I should have gotten food here, it looked delicious! It was pretty busy here but also plenty of seating which is great. I always have a fear of not finding places to sit but they accommodated well. I had a fun time and enjoyed the beer. It was a nice friendly atmosphere. read more

I was visiting Minneapolis and had heard about all of the awesome craft breweries that opened in the area recently. My friends and I decided to check out Fulton since it was pretty much right in downtown. The location is hard to beat! We did have a car, and found street parking really easily right nearby. We came at 12pm and got on the 1pm tour. We spent the hour hanging out in the tap room tasting their beer which were all awesome. The Sweet Child of Vine was definitely my favorite - I highly recommend it! I wish you could get it outside of MN. The tour was over an hour long. Which I wasn't quite prepared for (meaning I didn't get a beer before I entered). I really loved our tour guide (who was a father of one of the founder's) but it was more of an information session than a tour. I found it extremely informative and enjoyable regardless! One of the highlights of my trip to Minneapolis. So I'd say go on the tour if you have the time, and make sure to bring a full beer with you! read more

As a home-brewer and beer lover, one of the first things I try to do when visiting a new town is to head out to some of the local breweries. Lo and behold, the hotel I stayed in had a magazine in the room which featured a tour of Fulton Brewery's owners' home. So we set out walking. There were some mistakes in how we got there (mainly relying on Google's driving vs. walking directions) but once we got there, it was worth the effort! Sure, they only had three beers on tap at the time and only The Ringer was available in growlers, but it turned out that was more than fine, as The RInger was the best of their beers. That said, Sweet Child of Vine was also a very well developed IPA, but not quite as balanced. Elizabeth went out of her way to come up with things for our kids, bringing juice boxes and highlighters from goodness only knows where, allowing us all to chat a bit and figure out where to get food. For what it's worth, her recommendation of Black Sheep, just down the street was awesome! Also, I quite enjoyed the music selection. It was a bit loud, but only loud enough to know what was playing, not so loud that conversation was impossible. Next time we're in Minneapolis, we will surely be walking past Target Field, with an empty growler in hand, seeking a refill. read more

These guys know their beer, and have an awesome place for fans to have a taste and meet the founders. We stopped by on a weekend evening to meet friends, with our 4 month old in tow (parents of the year, we know). The host at the door directed us to the handicap lift so we could keep our daughter in her stroller, as there are stairs to go up right when you enter. How cool was that? We tried a couple different types of beer, each explained in detail by the bar tender. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the brewing process, and they explained it in plain English which was easy to understand. The atmosphere is great. High ceilings, casual atmosphere, great beer, comfortable seating, and a gift shop to boot. I can't wait until the summer, I'll definitely be back here during baseball season. read more

I enjoyed the red ale but was disappointed at the lack of choice/variety, as the only other 3 available were pale ales. If that's your tastes though then this place is definitely recommended. For a Friday happy hour it was surprisingly not that busy and our group of four was easily able to get a table. The atmosphere was pretty awesome and service was good. But I've definitely been to better breweries before. read more

I love fultons beer and recommend this to anyone. That being said I think or a brewery it is a bit big for my liking, before the baseball games it is PACKED but if you wait a bit you can still find a place to sit. Their beer though is some of the best and they have great people who work there read more

The Fulton Brewery is a nice taproom, and the location can't be beat so close to the Twins stadium. Appearance-wise, it's an open industrial type design with a merch area (wish more taprooms would have these) and a a pretty simple setup with the bar and some long tables. There's no food, though there's often a food truck parked outside. One of our general complaints is that the food trucks really seem to close down early. We wish there would be more than one truck or that the one there would stay open for the later-night crowd. The beer itself of course is good and fresh on tap. I don't feel like there tends to be a whole lot of variety -- like maybe four or five options. But beer is generally about $5 per serving, and super tasty. You can also get food delivered to the taproom, and if you ask at the bar, they even have a handy binder full of menus of places that will deliver (complete with notes about what's good). read more

It was annoying getting my hand stamped at the door. It's so tacky getting your hand stamped. Reminds me of being back in high school attending the school dances. We're all adults here now, let's get rid of childish traditions please. It was dark and industrial inside. Like being in a basement. No decoration or other knick knacks to liven up the space. There were several long cafeteria tables. It wasn't very crowded inside as most people had opted to sit outside on the patio to enjoy the warm weather. On the patio there are several cafeteria benches. You'll end up sitting with friendly strangers, most of whom are there for a Twins game event. The view from the patio is pretty boring. Parking-lots and other warehouses line the narrow backroad streets. You also get to enjoy the pungent stink of trash wafting over from the huge garbage incinerator building that's nearby. If you're from out of town and want to visit a Minneapolis brewery, go to Harriet Brewery or Dangerous Man Brewery or Indeed Brewery for a better experience and more variety in beer choices. If you prefer a mediocre experience with limited beer choices, this will do. read more

Fulton is close to Twins Stadium and Target Center, making it a great place to grab a drink before games or concerts. While they don't have food per se, they do have a steady rotation of food trucks coming through their parking lot. The beers here are pretty good, Sweet Child of Vine IPA being my personal favorite. They usually stock a blonde, a pale ale, the either a red or russian stout depending on the season as well. They also feature Firkin' Thursdays, casking one of their beers to shake things up a bit. At $5 each, it's not a bad deal. The big thing to remember here though, is what you're walking into exactly. It is clearly a brewery, with cement floors and brew tanks visible from the bar. Outside of some merchandise and several, there's not a ton going on here. If you're looking for the bar or brewpub experience, this probably isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for a good value pint and a fun place to watch a game with friends, it fits the bill for sure. read more

I love the atmosphere here. The beer is always absolutely stellar and they have a huge merch section! Shop while you drink and eat! Amazing staff as well. If you're a dark beer lover and they have it, try the Fika!!!! read more
