The Best Food Trucks You Can Find at Minneapolis Breweries
Nothing improves a night out with friends and a few local pints more than great food pairings. And while there’s a time and place for fine dining, food truck fare and more casual menus just hit the spot when it comes to beer crawls. Luckily, Minneapolis breweries are now the best places to reliably find these mobile kitchens, and you can feel great knowing you’re supporting start-up chefs and sating your appetite at the same time.
Here are some of Minneapolis’s best food trucks, offering everything from barbecue to tacos, and some tips on which breweries to find them.
Red Rocket Pizza at Bauhaus Brew Labs
For a classic Neapolitan style pizza spend an evening at Bauhaus Brew Labs. These wood fired pizzas are there most days and have quality fresh ingredients to enjoy while sitting at the plentiful picnic tables. Their Hot Chick pizza is a fan favorite and contains house red sauce, chili flakes, pepperoni, sausage, fresh mozzarella, red onion, jalapeños, & hot honey drizzle (You can also grab a scoop or two from nearby MN Nice Cream next door to make it the ultimate night out in Northeast.)
Hodgepodge at Forgotten Star Brewing
Forgotten Star's resident food truck, Hodgepodge, serves Midwest-inspired food. Order satisfying burgers, healthy(ish) appetizers and sides to share! They even recommend Forgotten Star tap pairings for each menu item. Kids will love the soft-serve machine! Hodgepodge is open every day except Wednesdays, and you'll find rotating food trucks instead.
