    Nope. Best bet is getting Sierra Nevada or Brooklyn there...

    Are you saying SNPA isn't good, or just not good enough considering it's Maroon 5?:wink:

    down by section 105 (I think?) when I was there over NYE weekend for phish there were some good options. Do not remember what else they had but I was drinking ommegang rare vos. Price isn't too bad considering your at MSG either, it was like 10.50 for a 24 oz pour.

    FWIW - MSG has no good beers. You may as well drink bud light.

    Thanks, seems like you're the only one who found good options.. I'll be in section 102 tonight so hopefully I'll be able to find this!

    This is not true at all. There are 4 or so craft stations on the 100 level that have 1 Sixpoint (Tiger or Sweet Action), an Ommegang (Rare Vos, I believe), Bronx Pale Ale, and 1 other decent (for a concert) craft option.

    As previously mentioned, it's $10.50 for a 24oz cup, which for a concert (let alone in NYC) is a pretty good deal.

    Sandman, thank you for the heads up. I never knew that! Once a year we go to a Knicks game and we are in the Budweiser box (blah, I know). All that we can have is product under the AB flag.

    Now I'll be hunting for sixpoint during Knicks and thunder game march 7th. Thanks!

    I regret when I get anything on draught at MSG. Always tastes like dirty tap line funk.

    These days I usually go with DFH 90min or GI IPA when I'm at the garden.

    There was surprisingly great selections all around the 100s sections.. 24 oz of Bronx pale ale, a bottle of 90 minute, then 24oz of rare vos made the evening far more enjoyable than I would have expected.

    Thanks all for good advice !

    Great thread. My 1st visit to MSG tonight. This stadium has been on my
    bucket list since I saw it on TV during the 80s and 90s, heard Rangers crowd is excellent.
    Nice to see it is not complete craft beer wasteland. :wink:

    Was there last Wednesday (after the Rosso release :slight_smile:) to take some clients to the Garden to see the Rangers vs Pens. One of the craft sellers is a burger place in 114, I think. Still has 90 minute bottles for $9, but I find it a solid deal for $10.25 you can have a 24oz of either Rare Vos, Sweet Action, or Bronx Pale Ale. $5 a pint is a great price for anywhere in NYC, let alone the Garden for a game/concert.

    I saw Rangers vs Leafs on Wednesday, had Sweet Action and Rare Vos!
    Also gave the Italian Sausage a go, WOW! That sucker was huge, quite good too.

    Has anyone been to MSG recently. Are the options the same as stated last year in this thread?
