In a brilliantly repurposed auto garage in Spring Grove, Minnesota, Fat Pat's Brewery is serving up a mouthwatering combination of craft beer, barbecue, and wood-fired pizzas that's worth the drive.

Owner Pat, family, and friends have transformed this former service station into a vibrant brewpub while preserving its vintage charm. The original garage door openings, spacious seating, and glass garage doors provide an industrial-chic backdrop to what's become a small town culinary destination.

The menu has you wanting to come back weekly for something more, the WTF burger has developed a loyal following. Friday nights you will not want to miss with the great BBQ.Oh yeah and don't skip the sides – the mac and cheese has locals coming back for more.

Pat shared - "We're pretty well known for our burgers, our barbecue, and then new to this space is our wood-fired pizza... Friday's our barbecue night where we do the full-on menu - brisket, pork ribs, chicken, turkey"

What sets Fat Pat's apart is their attention to detail. From the spotless kitchen to the Instagram-worthy flying pig decor and memorable bathrooms, every aspect has been thoughtfully curated. They even stock local favorite Spring Grove sodas alongside their house-brewed craft beers.

The addition of a wood-fired pizza oven brings artisanal pies to the mix Thursday through Saturday evenings. With a spacious patio for summer dining, Fat Pat's has quickly become a year-round destination for food enthusiasts.
