Dangerous Man Brewing and Anchor Fish and Chips
If you’re at Dangerous Man Brewing, try…
The Anchor Fish & Chips
The popular hangout down the street is packed to the gills (literally), so better to order take-away and enjoy a crisp fillet of Alaskan cod in the woody warmth of Dangerous Man. Though fried fish is their specialty, their Helicopter Burger is a knockout in its own right. 302 13th Ave. NE, Mpls., 612-676-1300, theanchorfishandchips.com
If you’re at Summit Brewing, you need to visit…
Rusty Tacos
For $2.50 a pop, these little tacos pack a lot of flavor for little dough. Meats are roasted in-house and the veggies are fresh, so you’ve got no reason not to try every variety: traditional roasted pork, brisket, or even fried chicken with creamy jalapeno sauce. Soft corn tortillas make it a portable match to your potables. 508 Lexington Pkwy. S., St. Paul, 651-698-2777, rustytacomn.com
If you’re up in Fulton Brewery, order...
Black Sheep Pizza
Black Sheep’s coal-fired oven puts it apart from the pizza herd. Coal’s dry, clean, and even heat produces beautiful crusts. The meatball-ricotta is top notch and guaranteed to leave the rest of the brewery begging for a slice. 600 Washington Ave. N., Mpls., 612-342-2625, blacksheeppizza.com
If you’re checking out the scene at Harriet Brewing, you should grab dinner from…
Gandhi Mahal
Dishes vibrant with locally grown vegetables make Gandhi Mahal a perfect fit for the groovy feel of Harriet. With a dedicated vegetarian section of the menu and a mission to “bring peace and please palates,” it’s a match made in puffy naan heaven. 3009 27th Ave., Mpls., 612-729-5222, gandhimahal.com
If you’re an Indeed Brewing lover, how about…
Ziach Polish Foods
Nothing like a bite of double smoked sausage to stand up to the hops-forward taste of a freshly poured IPA. It’s not out of reach in the least, especially when you’re in Indeed Brewing’s ‘hood: Stop under the Polish flag at Ziach and pick up some goods from the deli case to chase down with a Midnight Ryder or two. Na zdrowie! 1625 NE Washington St., Mpls., 612-789-0907, ziachpolamer.com
