Best MLB stadium for beer ('15)

But they have beer with frozen foam! Yeah, Dodger stadium has always had a pretty lousy beer selection. They did pick up El Segundo last year though, so there's hope.

 

Definitely not Fenway - poor selection and wildly expensive. I'd be willing to bet it's easily in the top 3 most expensive parks for a brew - last season I saw 12 oz cans of Harpoon IPA going for 12 bucks a pop.

Have been to roughly half of the MLB parks and San Diego stood out for their selection.

 

Wrigley Field!!! Those who have been there know why. Between Old Style and now Goose Island, plus the experience of being at that beautiful and historic ballpark, is very hard to beat. Oh yeah and if you get bored, you can watch a baseball game too. I definitely enjoy seeing a concert there as well.

 

Things should be a little better this year at the K: http://www.pitch.com/FastPitch/arch...t-kauffman-stadium-for-the-royals-home-opener

 

PNC Park has two great craft beer concessions. Lets Go Bucs.

 

Petco Park's beer list.

Miller Park has a pretty nice selection of WI craft beers as well as some larger national craft brews. Can't really complain there. I would imagine it's a top 10. I saw one list that had them at #2

 

Well, if you call that baseball.

 

Twins have a pretty great lineup if you can find the good places to buy. There are specific craft brew sellers all over the place.

 

Fenway with the $11 Bud Lights kid!

 

Wow - don't know how you beat that. Going to be doing a trade show of sorts in the parking lot of AT&T Park next week... I know where I'll be going afterward.

 

Will report back on the Phillies as I will be attending on April 12 (part of their beginning of the year homestand). Nats @ Phila, should be good baseball and good beer. Its a day trip from DC, taking the train and getting into town around 10:30.

Not to highjack the thread, but what about good beer bars right outside a stadium? Any suggestions for Philadelphia? I wish this site had better mapping for places so I could do that myself. Will use the mobile app when I arrive in town.

 

I'll throw in a vote for Nationals Park. Over the past two years they really picked it up, especially from a local perspective. There are little kiosks around the park and their offerings rotate between breweries. So if you go to one game of every homestand you should see some different beers each time. They could do a better job letting us know where everything is. Hard to find sometimes, especially if you are not at the park a lot.

 

Milwaukee Brewers, Miller Park. They've expanded their craft selection quite a bit, and now I can drink New Glarus, Lakefront, Capital, etc. Great spot!

 

CBP had a great selection but it seems each year it gets worse and prices go up as the cups get smaller. A few years ago they put a "beer garden" in right field. Its a bunch of AB beers with a local Victory lager renamed for the Phillies. Goose is all over , and not the good ones. Hop Devil is a great offering but not anymore at $8+ a cup and I am sure more this year. They sell old 60 min bottles and other bottles that cost the same as draft. When I do go to a game anymore I bring a bunch of beer for pre game. It is way to much $ to see this team and then have to pay the price of a case of beer to have 3 beers.

Back in the day (2010) good beer was all over and a 20oz cup was $5.75 or $6.25.

Anyhow CBP does not in my opinion have a great beer selection anymore.

Enjoy

 

Right across the street from CBP is Victory beer garden. Always great beer. Do not go to the bar at the stadium unless you like doushy college kids and rockhead jocks looking to F... any thing that walks or F you up.

Should be a good night for you as the Phillies are un watchable this year.

After the game there are lots of great spots a few minutes away. Message me with what you are looking for and I can send you some suggestions

Enjoy

 

Not to be a homer but I think National's Park has an excellent beer selection. The Red Porch has 8-10 taps that are constantly rotating throughout the season. Also, throughout the stadium there are "Local" beer stands that will have 4 taps of local beer which they rotate throughout the season as well.

 

I can't believe Cleveland's Progressive Field isn't on this list!! There are options all over the ballpark with a wide array of local craft beers, as opposed to some stadiums where there may be 2 or 3 spots, the Jake has enough to where guests don't have to go very far away from their seats to get the good stuff.

 

Citi Field has definitely upped their craft beer selection. I feel like it will get better over the next few years with all these great beers being produced in the area.

 

Not sure when you visited the Reds Stadium but last year they installed an 85' Craft Beer bar:

They would have special tappings, firkins and etc there from local breweries as well.

Additionally Great American Ball Park has had craft beer stands on First and Third base lines for several years now (probably at least 4). If you are speaking to what you can buy from an aisle vendor then yes I think it is still AB/MC and peanuts since that is what is highest demand.
