Fulton's Lonely Blonde Review

 Fulton is a brewery located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have never been there (I guess I'm not even sure if they have a taproom or not), but I love their beers.

Their IPA "Sweet Child of Vine" is very good! It is definitely one of the beers I buy from the liquor store most often. I had seen it at the store before, but I had never actually had it until I had it on an airplane. I took a flight out of the Minneapolis airport, and in-flight, they only had domestic light beer and Sweet Child of Vine. I had it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another of their beers I really like is "Chill City Chugger". It is a golden lager, but it just tastes like a better version of a typical light beer.

My favorite beer from Fulton, though, is "Lonely Blonde". It is an American Blonde Ale. It is a lighter tasting beer, but still has lots of flavor. I like all sorts of very flavorful craft beers, like IPAs and Stouts, so compared to that stuff, it is fairly light.

Some of my family members only like light beer. They think craft beer is nasty. I convinced them to try Lonely Blonde because I said it was just like Bud Light or Coors Light, but much better. They did, and they didn't care for it because they thought it had too much flavor.

So I guess it's all subjective, but I love it! Lonely Blonde is a great beer to have on hand because it goes great with anything. It's a great beer to have with a meal.

I like having cans of Lonely Blonde handy for playing beer darts in the summer. 

For those who are not familiar with the game of beer darts, you and some friends stand in a circle and each person puts an unopened beer can a few feet in front of them. Then you take a metal tipped dart and toss it at someone else's beer can in the hopes of puncturing it. If you poke a hole in someone's can, they have to drink the beer down to that hole. If the hole is below the label on the can, or if it gets poked 3 times, the person has to chug the whole can.

I've tried playing with IPAs or darker beers, but it is kind of hard to chug those kinds of beers because they are too heavy.

Lonely Blonde is a perfect beer for beer darts because it is the ideal mix of tasty and light.

One thing I have to note about Lonely Blonde that might be a bit of a criticism is that it seems like they over pressurize the cans. Whenever I open the can, it sprays out onto my hands. That doesn't happen with most any other beer I drink. Only Lonely Blonde.

It isn't really a big deal, but its kind of annoying. The first time or two it happened, I assumed it was something to do with my refrigerator or maybe a particular batch of beer. But after I had it happen consistently through multiple cases over many months, it seems like how they produce and package the beer.

I really enjoy Lonely Blonde. I would probably rank it in the Top 5 best beers I've ever had. It is certainly one of the beers I have purchased the most.

If you have never had Lonely Blonde before, I highly recommend you give it a shot. And, really, any Fulton beer you buy will probably be good!



Do you like Lonely Blonde? Have you had other Fulton beers? What are some other great beers and breweries I should try out? Let me know in the comments!

    What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

    Image
    When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

    The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

    Image
    An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

    The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

     Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
