    So, how was the beer?

    Pretty darn good. Not quite as bitter as Furious but some great hop character. Quite drinkable, particularly on a day like today when it's nice and cool. I'll definitely seek out this beer again next time I'm back at the stadium (assuming I want to subject myself to the torture of watching this year's team :slight_smile:)

    Damn Bandwagon is exclusive to TF? How am I going to get to try it when I work there pretty much every game?

    The line was crazy. It snaked out in two directions from the booth. I went down right after the first inning, and when I got back to my seat, it was the top of the forth.
    Wouldnt have been quite as bad if I would have got a beer obvisously. Apparently only select carts take cards, as I know i paid via card for a summit last year.

    Seems to me they need a second cart. Make it happen, Twins!

    I'm going to Saturday's game so I'll be interested to give it a try. However, Cynical would be the beer name I would choose for the Twins so far this season.

    Forgot to mention i did confirm that the sizes are indeed 20 and 24oz. Must have had an intern that emailed me the sizes before. Really is a good deal for a ballpark, as it comes out to about a six dollar pint.

    I paid 9 bucks for a Summit at the X, and im pretty sure it was only 20oz.

    Had a couple o Bandwagons today. Nice beer. Line was easy for the most part. No worse than getting a Kramarcek(no idea how to spell it) sausage.

    I didn't even bother getting a Kramerszerchecherwhatchacallitsausauge, but I know they would be stellar together I think. I think.

    They are taking cards now. So that should help. Line is about an inning long, so that should help you figure out when you should go. The beer is tasty, though.

    Good to know, although I doubt I'll go to another game unless I score some free tix.

    It's good to see the beer lineup is better than the one on the field.

    So how is Bandwagon? I was surprised to see it hadn't been reviewed yet, and I'm excited to return home this summer to get a taste of it

    Went to today's game. Loved the beer, but not the Twins. I think the Twins may need a new head brewer.

    It's good. Tastes an awful lot like Furious without the Simcoe hops. All that does is lessen the bite (less bitter; it's what Dogfishhead uses in their 60 and 90 IPA) thanks to the missing aroma. There is also a tap in the large bar at the end of the Club level. If you are able to sit up there - no line.

    You mean in the Metropolitan Club?

    I don't think that was it - it was at the end of the Legends Club level just past the bakery / sandwich place. Don't know the exact name for it but it isn't the Kirby Puckett Lounge...
