Best MLB stadium for beer ('15)

Agree about Dempsey's being awful, especially galling at ballpark prices. Free State Pub, lower level, third base side, has a decent selection of 8 MD crafts. Full pour, I believe 16oz, maybe 14oz was $8 last year. Especially good deal when a natty pounder in the park goes for the same price. If your team gets to the playoffs, be aware that any local brews you're used to getting in the stands (not concession tap handles) aren't allowed to be sold because they're not the "official beers" of the mlb playoffs. Stella's usually available though. (Pause for laughter)

 

Sorry, wrong website.

 

I knew the Cardinals would not be an option. Sadly, ABInbev still has a lot to do with what is available.

 

I went to a Giants game last year. A bar connected to the stadium (although the entrance was outside) had Nelson on tap. My cousin and I drank that until we couldn't walk straight!!

 

I wish I could get f'n two hearted at Fenway....

 

If there was a poll of the "Worst MLB stadium for beer" …..

 

Any good beer at the Nat'l's park in DC?

 

CBP is pretty good , victory, Troegs, dfh, flying fish. Decent good too, just lousy baseball.

 

I refuse to concede that the Phillies (or the Eagles ) have the best anything!!!!!!

 

Bale Breaker shared this stadium shot in Seattle.





Although a curious choice in a non-regional offering.

 

Rangers ballpark not too bueno for beer. Bud kicked Coors to the curb last year, so goodbye to my Banquet beer. Shiner Bock and Shiner Ruby Redbird are available as a poured bottle into solo cup, but even at that, it's a three day hike to the stand from where I usually sit. I did see a stand with some local Texas craft, but was with non-drinking family at the time, so I didn't investigate. It's a four hour drive for me to get to games, so I don't get to check the fare out all too often. Upside...I take my own DD with me, so I will be checking out the new offerings soon.

 

Petco Park has a pretty decent selection. They have Ballast Point and Stone tap houses inside the park.

Coors Field

for the loss....they keep me happy by offering Odell's 90 Schilling (and Dales Pale Ale), but they don't offer much else. I suppose its kinda cool they got the Sandlot there, too bad I don't like the beer.

 

Thanks I was trying to figure out what to open next, you picked it for me!

 

@hobobumguy, Speaking of…anything special tapped for Opening Day?

please say yes

 

Petco is doing it right. I was able to conveniently grab a pint of Big Eye IPA in several locations in the stadium. They also had two "craft beer bars" sections in the stadium. And that was 2-3 years ago. I'm sure by now they've expanded their selection.

 

Redlegs have really stepped up their game recently. Can't wait to check out the selection at the All Star game this summer.

 

I understand that the AT&T Park Public House is pretty good. But if you're anywhere actually inside the stadium, the situation is pretty dreadful. I've been to a couple of games with seats in the upper deck, and almost all of the beer stands up there have nothing but macros. With a lot of looking, I found one micro alternative without having to go several flights down to the Public House. That's pretty bad in my book.

A friend in the know tells me that Giants management knows they have bad beer offerings, but they are locked into long term contracts with the biggies that prevent them from making craft beer more available. Sounds like typical anti-competitive behavior by the big guys.

In contrast, the Mariners park has many many choices on tap at any aisle in any part of the park.

 

I'm pulling for the home team here. Detroit has a Michigan Craft beer spot, that does Firkin Fridays. Good casks on Friday games, and a cool selection of good stuff from around the state. They've also been known to have Black Note, Hopslam, and KBS on at times as well. Decent gastropub-inspired stadium food is available to go with the beer. Dynamite selection for any stadium IMO. No matter where I sit, I make the trek to the MI Craft Beer counter.

 

Regarding Busch Stadium, here's a cool map of where to find craft beer. It's a couple of years old, so might need updating:

O'Fallon, Schlafly, Urban Chestnut, New Belgium. If they would just add Perennial or 4 Hands...
