7 Saint Paul Breweries | Minnesota Beer

The last two Sundays husband and I had off together so we had two brewery hopping dates. This made me realize it’s been a while since I did any beer features over here so I thought that in addition to calling out the 4 we visited, I’d include 3 of my other favorites and throw together a list my 7 go-to Saint Paul breweries….one for every day of the week 😉.

*I understand that there are many more options, so please don’t take offense or get up in arms if your favorite isn’t on this list.

The French Hen | Saint Paul, MN

Husband and I had a weekday date day and decided to cross off one of his must-try’s, The French Hen, for lunch.

Favorite Foods of 2024 | Twin Cities, MN

Last year I did a recap of my 12 favorite foods for 12 months and it was so fun I had to do it again for foods of 2024.

Sharing in no particular order…

Buca di Beppo | Saint Paul, MN

Husband and I were invited to Buca di Beppo in St. Paul to try out their menu and learn more about the history of their company and the history of that location’s building…including some ghost stories 👻.*

Buca di Beppo is a national chain that actually started in a basement in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their humble beginnings were actually the inspiration behind the name, with Buca di Beppo translating roughly to “Joe’s small place,” in Italian.

*I do want to add a disclaimer that while I was gifted a dinner experience, my review and thoughts are my own.

See pictures of everything we tried below.

Hope Breakfast Bar | Woodbury, MN

I’ve previously visited Hope Breakfast Bar in St. Paul so I was excited to hear that they were opening one up so close to me in Woodbury.

We went for a Saturday brunch and lucked out that it was still warm enough outside to sit on the patio. Definitely recommend you have a reservation as the place is very small and generally book up at all locations.

Minnesota State Fair Foods 2024 | Saint Paul, MN

I am very excited that this year we had 4 other people with us which allowed me to try more of the new Minnesota State Fair foods! My 2024 Stats: 5 Hours. 10 Food. 4 Beers Tasted. 11,000 Steps.

Get the breakdown below and let me know what foods you tried and/or plan to try this year!

Southern Social | Woodbury, MN

It’s been open for a few months so it was time to check out Southern Social in Woodbury.

I’m not normally someone who loves ribs and other barbecue sauce type items so I have been putting off the visit, but I’m glad I went!

Apostle Supper Club 2024 | Saint Paul, MN

I previously visited the Apostle Supper Club last year with a friend and remember telling Husband that he had to go back with me because he’d love it and I added it to our list… finally over a year later we made it back 😬.

10″ Taco Pizza LTO | Taco John’s

I was invited to the Taco John’s Innovation Kitchen located in St. Louis Park to try my hand at making their limited time offer 10″ Taco Pizza and when I tell you I was internally freaking out I am not lying haha.

National Grilled Cheese Day | Twin Cities Top 5

Cheese and sandwiches are two of my favorite foods so of course I’m obsessed with National Grilled Cheese Day. I’ll admit that lately my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches are made by my husband (his are honestly ELITE), but for those of you without a live in home chef who understands that there is really never enough cheese 😂 I thought I’d share my top 5 🧀 over the years in the Twin Cities!
