Fat Pants For The Win - MN's Best 2024

Minnesota’s Best is back for its fourth year. Held by the Star Tribune, Minnesota’s many businesses compete for recognition in 350 categories. After a nomination and vetting process fans can vote up to once per day for their favorites in each category. 

Fat Pants brewing participates in this competition every year. Our past wins include:

  • 2021 - Family friendly (gold), chicken wings, fish fry (silver), beer selection, and burger (bronze)

  • 2023 - Best Beer Selection (gold), Best Chicken Wings/Tenders (silver), Best Family-Friendly Restaurant (bronze), Best Brewery (gold), Best Burger (silver)

Winning Minnesota’s best medals is a big deal for Fat Pants Brewery. It helps us to get our name out there and grow our fan base. More fans means we can do cool new things. For example, our wins in 2021 allowed us to expand our events center, Hop Spot.

This year, Fat Pants brewing is nominated for the following categories:

  • Best Brewery

  • Best Beer Selection

  • Best Fish Fry

  • Best Family Friendly Restaurant

  • Best Burger

  • Best Chicken Wings
