Wrigley field

That's a solid plan if you are looking to knock two items off your bucket list and check "cheat death" off too by surviving a Sox game. ZING!

 

If you are going to game their for the first time drink old style. There is NOTHING. and I mean NOTHING more delicious than an Old Style in the bleachers on a 80 degree Chicago Summer day with blue skies and and wind blowing out.

Near the stadium Merkles usually had some solid craft options on tap. They have had a least one BCS on draft the last few times ive been there.

 

Merkles always has more craft than Murphy's although I do love that Burning River can made just for them.

 

Second vote for Lucky Dorr. They usually have on a few collabs that are specific to the park. Plus it’s a great spot for people watching before the game. Also because AB does beer in the stadium, it’s becoming increasingly hard to find an old style vendor. But as this is a bucket list trip, you absolutely cannot leave that stadium without having at least one. Good luck! Go cubs! I can’t wait for baseball to start

 

Old Style Locations as of last year.

Directly to your right when you enter under the main marquee.

Or in the bleachers.

Worst case scenario slam a handful after a cubbies win at Murphy's. Holy hell I cannot wait for summer baseball.

 

Wasn't there some controversial Lagunitas takeover last year? It's not exactly craft but I'd rather drink almost any of their beers over Goose 312/IPA

 

Lagunitas were fully bought out by Heineken back last summer, which already had 50% ownership as it was. Is that what you are referencing?

 

I think it’s something different. IIRC, there was a Tribune article about Lagunitas managing to get a handful of taps in the stadium. Not sure if it was controversial, but surprising that they were able to wrestle some away from InBev.

 

Head to Comiskey, better food, beer and fans.

Rev is going to have a taproom inside comiskey featuring a Deth's Tar tap, and a tap for the rotating hero series.

 

ill give you better beer and better food. Significantly worse baseball, and absolutely NOTHING to do around the stadium after the game.

 

Hey when your team cant put butts in the seats you have to start looking for other gimmicks to get people in that stadium.

 

Guys, guys, I am excited for baseball to start too. But, let's keep our quaint and mostly media manufactured rivalry out of the OPs thread on his trip to Wrigley. Please?

 

he has his info. Let the bloodbath begin lol

 

I think this was in the playoffs only. That was the first time I saw em.

 

This is equal parts hilarious and true. I cannot argue with this logic.

 

I read that on the other side of your beautiful city the other guys are getting some kind of bar and has something to do with Revolution?

 

Beer prices are already out of control at sporting stadiums. You might have to take out a small mortgage for a pour of Deth's Tar at the ol' ballpark.

 

Ill do it once just to say I'm drinking a ba beer at the ball park. Plus this year's deth is amazeballs

 

Go to dovetail and drink some of the best pregame german beers you’ll ever have. It’s like 15-20 minute walk from wrigley
