What goes best with craft beer? A tasty snack or meal, of course. Fortunately, you won’t need to leave your barstool to forage for food along the Beerwerks Trail. Many of our breweries have onsite dining or regular food trucks parked outside. The others are usually open to visitors bringing snacks, take-out, or having food delivered. Here’s our guide to gourmet pizza, comfort food, juicy burgers, elevated pub fare, and everything in between.
