The synergistic relationship between mobile food trucks and the craft beer industry has led to a new and enjoyable eating and drinking experience that you won’t find at downtown restaurants or fast food joints.

Food trucks and craft beer are nearly synonymous. When the two come together, you have a match made in gastronomic heaven. For the beer establishments, the type of food vendor is just as important as any other promotion to get people in the door.

Until recently, San Bernardino County laws have restricted mobile food truck operations. But creative caterers have instead set up pop-up kitchens on site to deliver culinary delights.

Still, by clearing the path for food trucks, the county has tightened restrictions on vendors who set up temporary food operations outside of their trucks. And all food truck vendors must comply with the regulations in each of the county’s individual cities, many of which continue to enforce bans.

Operated largely by self-declared “foodies,” mobile vendors offer innovative ethnic and fusion varieties of niche food styles. The more imaginative, the better. The inspired mobile food vendor has become the trailblazer of the foodie frontier.

It was only natural to bring street food to craft breweries, most of which are located in business parks and don’t have their own food preparation facilities.

Just as they are consistently rotating their tap handles with novel new craft beers, the breweries also shuffle their food suppliers on a regular basis. Barbecue on Wednesday might give way to Korean tacos on Thursday, burgers on Friday and Cajun on Saturday.

Next time you’re looking for a unique and simple dinner, consider your neighborhood craft brewery, where you can savor brews and tantalizing cuisine, all in the comfort of the local business park.
