Introducing Fulton’s Walleye American IPA: A True Minnesota Catch
Fulton Brewery, a name that resonates with craft beer enthusiasts for its signature IPAs, has launched an exciting new addition to their Hop Kingdom series – the Walleye American IPA. This much-anticipated brew makes its debut just as Minnesotans gear up for the beloved fishing opener, a tradition marking the start of summer. The Walleye American IPA takes center stage as the featured beer at the Governor’s Fishing Opener in Lake City, MN, promising a refreshing gulp of the season with every sip.
Founded by Ryan Petz, a devoted angler and CEO of Fulton, the brewery’s new release is crafted with IPA lovers in mind. Featuring a light-bodied, low ABV profile, it offers the perfect post-fishing retreat, balancing a smooth drinkability with a hint of adventure. This brew is set to become the ultimate lakeside companion for storytelling fishermen across the state.
The Perfect Brew for Minnesota’s Lakeside Culture
In a state proudly boasting 10,000 lakes and numerous IPAs, this new addition from Fulton is a notable catch. The Walleye American IPA boasts balanced hop notes from Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops, mingled with sweet grapefruit piths and bitter orange peel. This composition offers a refreshing take tailor-made for leisurely days spent on the water, whether you’re on a boat or enjoying the scenic shoreline.
Fulton Brewery’s offering truly encapsulates Minnesota’s vibrant fishing culture. From the lakes of Bemidji to the shores of Grand Marais, this beer accompanies the fishing season, ensuring that enthusiasts have a loyal partner as they recount tales of epic catches—or the ones that got away.
A Celebration of Minnesotan Craft and Creativity
Even if your fishing adventures happen from the comfort of a recliner, the Walleye American IPA stands as the quintessential drink for spinning tales of mythical fish. Its approachable and amiable character grows with every tale, resonating with craft beer lovers who appreciate both simplicity and depth in their brews.
Fulton’s latest creation is easily accessible at many of Minnesota’s favored fishing destinations. During the opening weekend (May 10-11), enthusiasts can find specials on this new brew at popular lakeside spots like Tally’s Dockside in White Bear Lake and Kelly’s Lake House in Lake City. The Governor’s Opener Community Celebration at Ohuto Beach Park is also set to feature this refreshing ale.
Artistry Meets Brewing in the Hop Kingdom
This unique release features artwork from local illustrator and Marvel Comics artist Brent Schoonover, who has lent his talents to Fulton’s Hop Kingdom series. Each label captures the spirit of Minnesota’s diverse wildlife, hop characteristics, and natural landscapes, enriching Fulton’s stories of the wilderness through art and taste.
Since 2023, the Hop Kingdom’s evolution reflects Fulton’s commitment to IPAs, with each beer inspired by the state’s dynamic environment. With a solid history spanning over 14 years, Fulton has shaped a diverse portfolio with standout brews like Sweet Child of Vine and the award-winning 300 IPA, proving that Minnesota’s craft beer identity is unmistakably intertwined with the allure of hops.
