Memphis Taproom, on wheels

Memphis Taproom (2331 E. Cumberland Ave.) first shared plans for an adjacent beer garden with Meal Ticket last May, and it's looking like owners Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida are getting very close to officially debuting the open-air space — Maida says they'll host a combo grand opening/third anniversary party on April 23, which'll also see the literal rollout of the blue-green badboy above. The truck will serve as a stationary kitchen for Memphis' beer garden, serving hot dogs, fried pickles and canned beer. No official plans to have the truck roam the city as of now, but last night we had a really awesome dream about hearing "The Entertainer," frantically digging change out of the couch, sprinting outside in slippers and chasing the truck across Fishtown for a Dale's Pale Ale.
