Twin Cities barbecue leans on local craft beer as much as smoke, and the city's pitmasters work in a range of regional styles. Animales Barbeque Co. smokes in the North Loop, while Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub pairs its plates with house beer in Longfellow Powderhorn. The result is a casual, brewpub-forward take on the form.
