Let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite like that moment when you take a juicy bite of a perfectly grilled burger and wash it down with a cold craft beer. It’s a match made in culinary heaven. And if you’re in Plymouth searching for the ultimate burger experience, you’re in luck. Because right here in town, The Burger Spot is doing more than just flipping patties—we’re creating crave-worthy flavor combinations that bring people together.
Whether you’re on the hunt for the best burger place in Plymouth for your next lunch break or planning a corporate event with food truck vibes, this guide will walk you through some of our favorite burger and beer pairings—featuring local brews and bold bites that deserve the spotlight.
Why Burger and Beer Go Together Like Old Friends
There’s a reason this combo never goes out of style. The richness of a seared burger patty, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and all the fixings pairs beautifully with the carbonation and subtle bitterness of a great beer. It’s not just about quenching your thirst—it’s about enhancing every flavor in that burger bite by bite.
Here at The Burger Spot, we’ve taken the time to experiment with flavors, textures, and pairings. We’ve partnered with local breweries, talked to regulars, and even taste-tested (a lot—purely for research!) to come up with pairings that genuinely complement each other.
So, if you’re looking for more than just “a decent burger,” stick around. You’re about to discover what great tastes like.
Local Favorites: 5 Burger & Beer Pairings That Just Work
1. BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger + Mayflower Loyalty IPA
This one’s a crowd-pleaser. Picture this: a thick, juicy beef patty fresh off the grill, layered with smoky bacon, tangy barbecue sauce, and a generous slice of sharp cheddar that melts just enough to get messy—in the best way. Now pair that with the bold hop-forward character of Loyalty IPA from Mayflower Brewing Co. The IPA’s bitterness cuts through the sweetness of the BBQ sauce and balances the richness of the bacon. It’s a flavor explosion that keeps you coming back for “just one more bite.”
2. Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Burger + IndieFerm Hefeweizen
For something a little different (and dare we say, tropical?), this burger is all about layers. Grilled chicken, crispy bacon, Swiss cheese, and a juicy slice of pineapple, all topped with a sweet teriyaki glaze. It’s savory, sweet, and a little smoky. Pair that with a citrusy, slightly cloudy Hefeweizen from Independent Fermentations Brewing, and you’ve got yourself a flavor pairing that’s light, bright, and totally satisfying. It’s like a beach vacation on a bun.
3. Ring of Fire Burger + Speedwell Pale Ale
This one is not for the faint of heart. We’re talking pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, crispy onion rings, and a fiery sriracha mayo that adds a slow, satisfying burn. When you’re biting into this spicy number, you need something cool and clean to balance it out. Enter the Pale Ale from Speedwell Brewing. It’s crisp, with just enough malt to calm the heat without stealing the spotlight. A perfect harmony of fire and finesse.
4. Black Bean Vegan Burger + Shakesbeer Amber Ale
Who says meatless can’t be mighty? Our vegan black bean burger is hearty, earthy, and packed with flavor. We load it up with avocado, fresh salsa, and a house-made vegan aioli. The Amber Ale from Shakesbeer brings in a smooth, slightly caramel backbone that pairs wonderfully with the burger’s spices and richness. Even the most die-hard carnivores are surprised by how much they love this one.
5. Sunrise Burger + Dirty Water Pilsner
Bacon, egg, cheddar cheese, and 1000 island dressing—it’s breakfast and lunch rolled into one glorious sandwich. And it pairs perfectly with a clean, crisp Pilsner from Dirty Water Distillery. The beer is light enough not to overpower the egg, but refreshing enough to cut through the richness. It’s the kind of burger that makes you wish brunch was an all-day affair.

- Choose quality ingredients – Get fresh ground beef, good buns, and don’t skimp on the cheese.
- Balance flavors – Spicy burgers pair with crisp, bitter beers; sweet burgers match well with smooth ales.
- Serve beer flights – Let your guests taste a few different styles.

Real Talk: What Makes The Burger Spot Stand Out?
We’re not a franchise. We’re not fast food. We’re a locally owned, community-driven food truck run by people who are obsessed with flavor. Every burger we serve is made with real ingredients, grilled fresh to order, and served with a side of good vibes.
You won’t find cookie-cutter combos or microwaved patties here. Just big, bold flavors made by folks who love what they do.
Whether you’re a burger purist or someone who likes things a little out of the box (pineapple on a burger, anyone?), we’ve got something that’ll hit the spot.
Final Bite
At the end of the day, the best burger place in Plymouth isn’t just about the food—it’s about the full experience. The taste, the smell, the laughter around a picnic table, the buzz of a food truck serving up hot meals on a sunny afternoon.
And that’s exactly what we’re serving up at The Burger Spot.
So, whether you’re swinging by for lunch or bringing us to your next corporate event, just know—we’ve got a burger (and a beer pairing) with your name on it.
