Thanks for the heads up. I will make sure to try that one. Now for the more important task - convincing my non-craft beer drinking friends to take a trip out to the brewery.grub wrote:yup, and it even pours a beer that's exclusive to the location - bandwagon ipa.TheSevenDuffs wrote:I will be in Minnesota in August to see a couple of ball games and from what I hear, Surly has a beer stand at Target Field now ... looking forward to that

Call it The Skydome! It will never be Rogers Centre as far as I'm concerned.Malcolm wrote:Argh. Reading all these replies about great beer choices in the U.S. frustrate the hell out of me, given the shitty choices we have at the RC. I mean, I saw a Mad Tom empty in the Lansdowne subway Friday night - craft beer is everywhere!
The only sporting events I've watched in the states have been at Ford Field and Comerica Park in Detroit. Both have bad beer, even in the private lounge at Ford Field it was still BMC, but better liquor choices. The best at Comerica is Leinenkugel, when I went it was the Summer Shandy and Sunset Wheat, neither of which I enjoyed.
Don't know if I'll be going to any MLB games in the states this year, may check out a AAA game, either Buffalo or Rochester if we plan a beer trip to one of those places.

There's a super small Atwater Block stall at Comerica as well, but I hear you. With all the awesome product brewed in and around Detroit (not to mention the rest of the state), the showing is pretty shameful.Kish84 wrote:The only sporting events I've watched in the states have been at Ford Field and Comerica Park in Detroit.

The sitch at the Dome is so sad, because - in all honesty - I'd go to at least half a dozen more Blue Jays games a season if they had even Stem Whistle (not to mention others) available.
Consumers now has a stand at the Buffalo ballpark offering draft beer. I haven't been to a game yet this year so I don't know what they're offering, but since you could already get Great Lakes (Ohio) last year, I would imagine they have to tasty selections.Kish84 wrote:The only sporting events I've watched in the states have been at Ford Field and Comerica Park in Detroit.

That's awesome to hear! Hopefully the rumors about the Bison possibly becoming the Jays AAA affiliates next season come true.rudolf wrote:Consumers now has a stand at the Buffalo ballpark offering draft beer.
