    April, bucket list. Craft beer?

    Corridor is half a mile away. Be there.

    Unless they’ve changed something for 2018, craft options at Wrigley are basically nonexistent.

    Hit up a bar or brewery later on.

    I hope you like InBev products!

    As someone said, go to Corridor before and/or after. Sheffield's is a good bar option, but I usually avoid it during games.

    Yeah, at best you're looking at maybe Anti Hero, Stella at Wrigley. Enjoy the game, drink your Bud.

    Also, April at Wrigley can, and most likely will be pretty f'n cold. Even if it's 55-60 and sunny, it will be cold and windy, particularly if you're in the shade. Just dress properly. You don't want to be forced to buy a hoodie for $100 by the 4th inning because you're freezing.

    Not to encouraging - corridor looks good. Half acre close?

    Yep. That’s my go-to before a game.

    "cooler by the lake"

    Certainly not walking distance close, but certainly close enough to uber.

    In the past, there has been Matilda and Sofie at one or two vendors inside.

    Plenty of craft beer options before and after the game but during the game at Wrigley, nothing. Just suck it up and drink some Old Stylie or some other “cheap” beer and enjoy the game. You’ll live without drinking “craft” for a few hours. Anyway, Murphy’s is the closest bar to Wrigley (right outside of the bleachers) that has the best, yet most basic craft beer selection. Can almost always get Anti Hero, Daisy Cutter, Gumballhead and a few others. If you want a good Wrigley experience with decent craft beer, go here.

    Lucky Dorr in the park has some good stuff on tap. Wrigley’s beer selection sucks overall so I just sip the sweet sweet nectar of the gods... old style

    Cubs V Cards day game in April sounds like the proper way to do the bucket list trip. I'd start at Half Acre, do some beers and put down one of their burritos for a nice base. Uber to somewhere near the stadium. Don't waste time at the game looking for craft and just drink Old Pile. After the game, walk to Corridor and drink some of the best haze the city has to offer. Let the after game cluster slow down, then go forth and conquer.

    If you decide to catch a sox game as well, U.S. Comiskullar Rate Field has a ton of craft options in the park, and isn't too far from Marz or Lagaunittas.

    Much thanks for suggestions. Might have to add white sox vs ASTROS

    I’ve been to back to back games in mid May, and it was 78 and sunny Saturday. Then 41 and windy Sunday. Just be prepared! I’d hate for you to be miserable.
