Let's Cozy Up For a Cause

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — October 30, 2024 — Faribault Mill, the esteemed American heritage brand renowned for its handcrafted, Made-in-USA wool and cotton throw blankets, bed blankets, sheets and accessories, announces the return of a craft beer brewed in collaboration with award-winning, Minneapolis-based Fulton Brewing to commemorate the second anniversary of Spread The Warmth. This national philanthropic campaign, launched by Faribault Mill in November 2022, donates blankets when blankets are purchased to organizations serving youth experiencing homelessness across America.

The limited-edition Faribault Mill Spread The Warmth Chocolate Cherry Stout will hit shelves throughout Fulton’s distribution network starting November 11. Each four-pack of 16-ounce cans features a classic and collectable Faribault Mill Heritage blanket design on the label.  

“This year’s Chocolate Cherry Stout embodies the perfect blend of craftsmanship and compassion forged by two Minnesota manufacturers with a goal of spreading warmth one blanket - and one pint - at a time,” said Ryan Petz, Fulton Brewing founder and CEO. The 5.5 percent ABV stout delivers a velvety smooth experience with layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and subtle tart cherry notes, complemented by dark-roasted specialty malts and Bravo hops to sip and savor throughout the holiday season.

A portion of proceeds from every four-pack supports Spread The Warmth, locally benefitting YouthLink serving homeless youth ages 16-24 in Minneapolis. 

“For 159 years, Faribault Mill has been keeping Americans warm,” said Ross Widmoyer, President and CEO of Faribault Mill. “The holiday season is a celebration of family, traditions, gratitude and giving, and this collaboration between two local brands with shared values serves as an opportunity to raise awareness for a cause close to our hearts.” To-date, Faribault’s Spread The Warmth campaign has donated over 12,000 blankets nationwide, far exceeding its goal. The campaign is here to stay, becoming a permanent fixture for Faribault Mill. 

Beer enthusiasts and philanthropists alike can preview the collaboration at Fulton’s taproom during a special release party starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7. The event will feature exclusive giveaways of Faribault Mill pint warmers and blankets.
