    As a Red Sox fan I can't believe there are 8 stadiums that can be worse than Fenway

    Hear hear! I've been going to Mariners games for years and the amount of craft beer at The Safe is head spinning. Go M's!

    It's a fact. But only because Portland doesn't have a team.

    I usually hit KC and STL. Both have some options from good local craft, but not enough options and they're not at every vendor stand.

    Sorry man. Seattle born and bred. Love the M's more than anything and love Safeco Field...BUT many stadiums have up stomped. Went to Petco this year and the selection there kills us. Stone and Ballast Point tap rooms inside the stadium alone has us beat by a mile. There was another thread talking about the best ballpark for craft brews and a couple other lineups definitely had us beat too...cant remember which ones but the stadiums seem to be catching up to the times across the country.

    I can't imagine why Busch Stadium wouldn't have tons of local craft options.

    for its namesake and biggest sponsor, indeed. what i don't get, though, is how the UN hasn't been called in for a human rights violation when they charge 11 bucks for a tall boy of said macro.

    I couldn't imagine anyone having a better selection than Petco.

    Busch does carry Schlafly and, I think, stuff from 4 Hands.

    As soon as I saw this I thought "what about Cincy" #2 that seems about right.

    The new craft beer set up in Cincy is something to see, amazing selection.

    If you click through to the linked article, there's a couple charts. One shows that ABI is served 29 stadiums. What's the 1 stadium that doesn't serve any ABI products? Milwaukee maybe?

    Damn right Yankee stadium is the worst. Absolutely pitiful offerings in such a beer rich city.

    I'm going on a road trip in a couple weeks actually and this will be helpful.


    Already got my sights set on Daisy Cutter at US Cellular, Oberon at Miller, Overrated at Target and I guess Green Line or not drinking at Wrigley.

    They scored Atlanta about right. The big beers from the bigger breweries are there but missing a ton of great other options Atlanta gets.

    Sad that Tampa is so far down the list when you think about all the great beer within an hours drive of the stadium.

    I was wondering if the 'Nati was gonna get some love? (We rarely do, but it's okay, we like flying under the radar.)

    Here's the original article from the Washington Post- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/sports/best-beer-in-baseball/
