Food Vendors
Food will be available for purchase from the following food trucks:
Northeast Pretzels
Guten Tag! As a native from Germany, the things that I have really missed since living here in the U.S. are the bread, rolls, pastries and baked goods that I grew up with. Since 2010, I’ve been working to bring back memories, the taste and the smell of the freshly baked goods of my home country. I hope you enjoy.
Paella Depot
Welcome to Paella Depot. Based in Minneapolis, MN, we are your one stop shop for all things paella. All summer long you can catch us at the state’s largest events cooking up our paella for all of Minnesota. Many of our followers, including those who have had authentic paella from Spain, say ours is the best they’ve had. Our team takes pride in our craft. Our paellas are freshly prepared on-site using traditional cooking techniques and the finest local and imported ingredients available.
Pharaoh’s Gyros
My name is Thabt Osman owner of Pharaoh’s Gyros. I have explored many kinds of food venues and operations and at last as I am getting older and wiser, I have decided to take my knowledge of many types of food on the road with my newest business adventure, a food truck – Pharaoh’s Gyros. Pharaoh’s Gyros has great gyro’s, philly cheesesteak sandwiches, salads, burgers, homemade humus, and more!
Rollin Nolen’s BBQ
We are a small, family owned and operated business whose roots go down generations. We followed in our family’s footsteps in 2016 and began selling food “tail gating style” with our huge smoker attached to the back of our open trailer. We have grown tremendously since then, in more ways than one — and now are operating from a fully equipped food truck!
Russell’s Traveling Kitchen
Many of our specials rotate on and off of our menu, but one thing will always be consistent: our Pho French Dip™! Other menu items include an Iron Range porketta sandwich, homemade egg rolls, garlic fries, and deep-fried “Russell Sprouts” named after our son and honorary founder, Russell.
DJ SHANNON BLOWTORCH
DJ Shannon Blowtorch is a fan favorite for Beer Dabbler attendees, who is known for her eclectic music collections and her incredible ability to read a crowd and keep the party bumping. Shannon has been named “Best Club DJ in the Twin Cities” countless times by local publications, and is guaranteed to bring the party to Summer Beer Dabbler 2022.
Eleganza
Fresh off the release of their fantastic new album Water Valley High, local rockers Eleganza will bring their potent stew of ’70s boogie rock, punk, Americana and soul to Summer Beer Dabbler 2022. Eleganza’s local rock pedigree includes bands like The Midnight Evils, Chooglin’, and Romantica, and bassist Tony Zaccardi owns beloved West Bank watering hole Palmer’s Bar. Their high-octane shows have earned them a rep for being one of the best live bands in the Twin Cities!
Clear River DJ Stage:
Hold Your Lady Tight Night
DJ James Kaul hosts a successful country western dance party called Hold Your Lady Tight Night at big name venues all over town, but his musical taste doesn’t end at Nashville and Bakersfield. At Summer Beer Dabbler 2022, James will be spinning a fun mix of jams encompassing a wide variety of genres like disco, pop, classic rock, ’90s music, and country (of course)!
Travel to Summer Beer Dabbler
Summer Beer Dabbler is back for 2022 with a brand new venue: Harriet Island Regional Park! Located just across the river from Downtown Saint Paul, Harriet Island Park is situated along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River and features unparalleled views of its waters, as well as the skyline beyond.
Now that you know why it’s awesome, you only need to know one more thing: How to get there! Check out our tips below!
Front Gate
Our front gate will be located within Harriet Island Park, just past the pedestrian bridge and archway at 175 Water street that features the official “Harriet Island Regional Park” sign. Once you pass underneath the arch, proceed slightly to the right towards our front gates. Our Early Access gate will be located just to the left of our General Admission gate.
Parking

Parking around Harriet Island Park will be extremely limited, so make sure you plan ahead if you plan on driving.
Warning: While there are a variety of surface lots located adjacent to Harriet Island, these lots are privately owned and may not be open for parking during our event. Your best bet will be to park in one of the parking ramps or lots located in Downtown Saint Paul, and walk across the Wabasha or Robert Street bridge to Harriet Island.
There is a limited amount of street parking available near Harriet Island park along Plato Blvd., Water St., and Dr. Justus Ohage Blvd., but these spaces tend to fill up quickly, so make sure to plan accordingly.
As always, please plan a designated driver or sober ride home if you drive to any of our events.
Public Transit

We highly encourage attendees to consider using public transportation to get to Summer Beer Dabbler 2022! Metro Transit bus routes 62 and 75 stop at Wabasha and Water street, which is just a few short blocks away from our venue.
Additionally, Harriet Island is just a 15 minute walk across the Wabasha Bridge from the Green Line light rail’s Central station, making the train a great option for our attendees.
Plan your route and purchase Metro Transit passes via their website.
Ridesharing Apps

Using Ride Sharing Apps? Prepare for delays and additional costs!
Most major ride-sharing apps are still experiencing a shortage in drivers. That means your Lyft or Uber may cost more and take longer than you’re used to. Make sure to plan ahead!
Pro-Tip: To avoid surge pricing, driver pile-up, and other pick-up difficulties, we recommend waiting a few minutes and walking a short distance away from the venue before booking your ride sharing service.
