Following the Minnesota Frost’s second consecutive PWHL Walter Cup win, Fulton Beer and star forward Kelly Pannek are back with another collaboration.
As a nod to Pannek’s many athletic achievements, Fulton dropped the “Been There Won That” ale last fall, which was available in the brewery’s Minneapolis taproom and at other select locations during the Frost’s 2024-25 season.
Now, they’re back with the “Been There Won That… Again,” a lemon-charged blonde ale brewed as a tribute to the team’s back-to-back championship titles. A summer twist on the first collaboration, this celebratory beer is inspired by Fulton’s light-bodied Lonely Blonde, with a splash of citrus in the mix.

“it took the support of our staff, friends, family, and community to win this title for a second time,” said Pannek in a statement. “Celebrating this victory with a beer that highlights the incredible perseverance of this team and gives back to the game is something I’ll always be proud of.”
Proceeds from “Been There Won That… Again” will once again benefit Mosaic Hockey Collective, a Minnesota-based nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities and community for players of color.
Want to celebrate, Minnesota Frost style? Fulton is hosting a Victory Party on Saturday, June 3 from 3-5 p.m. in its Minneapolis taproom. Purple pints of the celebratory brew will be available on draft (with limited crowlers available to-go), and Pannek and her teammates will be present for autographs and photo-ops.
“The momentum around women’s sports on the world stage is undeniable, but here in Minnesota, we’ve been living that energy for years,” said Holly Manthei, Fulton’s vice president of marketing, in a statement. “From the dynasty of the Minnesota Lynx to the back-to-back brilliance of the Frost, the female athletes in our state continue to raise the bar. It’s an absolute honor for Fulton to celebrate Kelly and the team’s legacy with an event that brings fans together, builds community, and raises a glass to what’s possible when women lead the way.”
Cheers to women’s sports!
