Fulton Brewing has teamed up with Minnesota hockey legend Kelly Pannek to celebrate another historic milestone: a second Olympic gold medal. The Minneapolis brewery will relaunch its collaboration series with Pannek, offering a new limited-release “Been There, Won That AGAIN – 2x Gold Medal Championship Shandy, honoring Pannek and her teammates as they return home from Milan.
This season’s Old Glory–themed shandy builds on previous “Been There, Won That” releases — beers first brewed to celebrate Pannek’s already stacked résumé of NCAA, Walter Cup, World Championship, and Olympic titles. With another gold added to the collection, Fulton is raising a glass to a historic moment for the United States Women’s Hockey Team — one that cements a new era of excellence in American hockey. Pannek joins teammates Kendall Coyne Schofield, Lee Stecklein, Team Captain Hilary Knight, Alternate Captain Megan Keller, and Cayla Barnes in becoming the first two-time Olympic Gold Medalists in United States hockey history.
The release will be celebrated with a hometown welcome opportunity from 6:30–8:30 p.m. on Monday, March 9 at Fulton’s North Loop taproom, featuring an autograph signing and first pours of the beer alongside Kelly and friends.
“This team shows up, does the work, and lets the results speak for themselves,” said Kelly Pannek. “Being able to celebrate back home with the friends, family, and fans who support us is incredibly special. It means a lot to be able to raise a glass and keep sharing these moments with the community.
The collaboration continues Fulton’s commitment to celebrating Minnesota women’s sports and the athletes who inspire the next generation.
“For so many of us, this wasn’t just another championship title — it’s about the legacy Kelly and her teammates continue to build for girls’ and women’s hockey in this state,” said Holly Manthei, Fulton’s Vice President of Marketing. “We’re proud as hell to celebrate a team that keeps raising the bar while staying grounded in the community that raised them.”
