Food Truck Pairings: Best Beverages for Autumn Eats
One of autumn’s most beloved aspects is its delightful array of flavors. Pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon seem to take over, making us crave everything cozy and comforting. And what’s better than pairing delicious autumn eats with an equally tasty beverage? This blog post will explore the best beverages to complement popular autumn food truck dishes.
Classic Fall Beverages
Warm, spiced apple cider is a quintessential autumn drink. Sip on one while enjoying BBQ from Colorado Pig Rig or our latest food truck, Smokin’ Zo’s. The smoky flavor of BBQ cuisine pairs wonderfully with the crisp apple notes. Pumpkin spice lattes have become synonymous with fall! Indulge in this iconic fall beverage, and double down on the indulgence with an Oreo Shortcake from our truck, The Strawberry Shortcake. The chocolatey flavors of the Oreo shortcake will perfectly complement the cinnamon and nutmeg notes in the latte.
Craft Beer
Colorado is home to tons of awesome craft beer breweries. What better way to enjoy a crisp autumn day than with an ice-cold pint of locally brewed beer? One of the classic style beers to drink during this season is Oktoberfest, a malt-forward German lager perfect for the season. This is another delicious drink to pair with BBQ, as the malty and caramel flavors of the beer can complement the smoky flavor perfectly. Darker beers are also especially delicious in the cooler weather. The same goes for mac ‘n cheese! Grab a bite from the ultimate comfort food truck, Mac ‘N Noodles, and wash it down with a darker brew. Naturally, the autumn season is huge for all things pumpkin, and that includes beer. If you’re a lover of pumpkin beers, enjoy one alongside a burger from The Burger Bus. The slight sweetness and spice of pumpkin beer can contrast the rich, umami flavors of the beef, enhancing the overall taste experience.

As the leaves turn and the air crisps up, it’s the perfect time to savor autumn’s cozy and comforting flavors. Whether you’re warming up with a spiced cider or enjoying a seasonal craft beer, there’s no shortage of delightful pairings to enjoy alongside delicious food truck offerings. The right beverage can elevate your culinary experience and celebrate this beautiful season. So, get out there, explore your local food trucks, and discover your favorite fall pairings—cheers to autumn!
