Craft beer at the Golf U. S. Open?

Check out the Greeks Next Door. Just as good of a selection, and cheaper.

 

I doubt you are gonna find anything besides macro, its gonna be hot, and you are probably gonna want something light.

If I am standing out in the heat, I'd probably rather be holding a Coors Light than a Palate Wrecker.

 

Hopfully Troeg's will be there.

 

It's amazing how good Shocktop can taste.

 

I disagree. Ive been to 4 Us Opens, 3 PGAs and the British Open.
It is great to be there in person.
There is no dispute that the beer will selection will suck.

 

Agree with this, I have caddied as a summer job for the last 8 years, caddied in multiple club tournaments, pro-ams, and US Open qualifiers, nothing better than being there in person.

 

I will sort of agree here, but not really.

I've been to several Tour Championships, and PGA's and other big events, and if you know where to go, and where to watch, and have the access to hospitality places, you can see and be around all the good stuff going on. Sure, the beer ain't really there, but it's a trade off.

I was at the Masters this year... beats the brakes off of watching it at home that Saturday, and instead being out there walking the course.

To answer the OP.. Don't expect any craft. It's big money for the hospitality places, and it'll be Michelob and Bud, Stella and Heineken in most cases.

 

It's golf, drink something stronger.

 

Does anyone ever really want to hold a coors light?

 

It would be so expensive anyway, so at least there's that. I'm working at the US Open next year in Pinehurst, but didn't get tickets when it's an hour from me naturally. The open is usually a scorcher, I'd stick to water and get my craft fill after leaving for the night.

 

That's the Masters though. Augusta is the most gorgeous place on earth (inside that property, at least). I literally could not contemplate how perfectly manicured that place is if I'd never been. It's always nice going and being a part of it, but I can see if someone would rather watch it on TV. Every major sport I've been around is better on tv in terms of viewing experience, but being in that atmosphere is fun.
