Buffalo Wild Wings
The Everything Pretzel Knots at Buffalo Wild Wings have Everything Seasoning and are served with New Belgium Fat Tire® Beer Cheese and Honey Mustard. Want to mix it up a little? The chain has a great “Ultimate Sampler” option where diners can opt for four different appetizers, ideal if you’re sharing for the whole table.
Red Robin
Red Robin‘s Pretzel Bites are little bite-sized salted soft pretzels served with “smooth and savory” Fat Tire® beer cheese. “A creamy blend of cheddar cheese, spices and New Belgium’s amber ale, this is one dip that takes pretzels to the next level,” the restaurant says, adding that it goes perfectly with a glass of Freckled Lemonade® or a classic Root Beer Float.
Yard House
Yard House has a truly impressive Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel served with house hazy IPA cheddar beer cheese and horseradish mustard. “Great food and excellent service!!! The giant pretzel was amazing!!!” one happy diner said. The Poke Nachos are also outstanding.
