    I haven’t been to a Mets game in ages and we’re heading there on Friday. I’ve seen people post pictures of LIC Beer Project, Interboro, Mikkeller, etc on IG before from the park and I was just wondering if they have those cans all over the park or only in certain areas. Thanks in advance.

    There's one specific stand that sells 16oz cans of the beers you listed above. I want to say it's on the field level, really hard to miss if you do a lap. It's on the smaller size - not the giant Big Apple Brews stand near the Shake Shack. That one is all macro I think.

    There's also tons of LIC taps at various food vendors around the stadium, and the bar on the top level, but not a single employee knew what beer it was and they just had the generic LIC handles.

    I think vendors walk around with Mikkeller too, but only Henry Hops and Say Hey Sally.

    There's a small stand is behind Section 134. It is also a Big Apple Brews (as is the one by Shake Shack), but it's much smaller and tucked into a corner. When I was there two weeks ago, they had cans of Interboro Premiere; LIC Higher Burnin'; Mikkeller Subway Mosaic, Say Hey Sally, Henry Hops; Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner; and the Bud crafty stuff (Blue Point Delayed Pils, Goose Next Coast, etc).

    Not sure about on the other levels, but hope that helps!

    I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to get there. Not a lot of time and I’ll have my kids. I’m looking more for during the game.

    As stated before, the stand (Empire City Brews IIRC) is located at Sec 134 right at the corner of left field. There is a “Big Mozz” or something stand right next to it.

    Additionally, I strongly recommend grabbing the salt and vinegar fries from the stand next to the beer stand (it’s called Bash Burgers or something similar). They are not traditional fries. They are 1000 times better.

    That’s good. We’re sitting in left-center field so I’m guessing that should be close. I wouldn’t mind a couple Premiers during the game. Those fries sound like they’d be good with a beer too.

    Be aware - the fries make you drink your beer at a rapid pace. They are absolutely worth it.

    The beer stand next to Big Mozz on field level in left field had LIC Beer Project Higher Burnin’. The one on field level closer to Section 130 between left field and third base had Mikkeller NYC Henry Hops & Post No Pils. Otherwise the beer selection is limited to Anheuser-Busch products like Blue Point and Goose Island.

    The stand next to big mozz had interboro, five boroughs, LIC and Mikeller the last 3 times I went this year (most recently 2 weeks ago).

    Also the Hornitos Bar in the 300 sections has big cans of SN Lil Hazy, Lagunitas Lil Sumpin and some decent draft for a ballpark.

    I’ve spent enough time at Citi to have sniffed out the beer spots

    I think that sounds right. I’m at Citi Field today but only took a picture of the beer list at the stand where I got my mine. Now that I think more, the stand by Big Mozz also had Oyster Bay Barn Rocker.

    Hey, if you get the chance to post that picture I’d appreciate it. Thanks. Probably drink a few Premiers, haven’t had that in awhile.

    Here's the beer list from the stand near Section 130; it was easier for me to type it in than figuring out how to upload a photo to the forum:

    I joke with my Yankee fan friends how we at least have better beer, food and broadcasters. LGM!

    I'm a Yankee fan, but you're 100% right. The stadium itself is also so much nicer.

    I'll happily drink a Bud Lite at Citi Field if we can have some stress free games like the last couple. The stand near section 130 is really only necessary in tight games where we have to rely on the bullpen.

    Here now and the cooler with the LIC Higher Burnin is locked. Brutal.

    Yea that was not what I was hoping for last night either. Went to the Blue Point stand and got Lil Hazy from SN. Good consolation prize.
