Citi Field Beer List

Not many changes from last year 2012 Citi Field Beer List. Besides the addition of Bengali Tiger this feels like a step backwards. I’d grade Citi Field’s beer selection a B. They need a couple more publicly available craft beers, bonus points for Ommegang or Brooklyn Pennant ’55. They also need more variety, specifically a couple of darker beers that would be perfect for the colder months.

 

The Craft Beer Dugouts are still the place to go, located on the field level near each foul pole and behind home plate on the Promenade level.  You’ll be able to get some beers in cans:

Brooklyn Lager, Redd Apple Ale, Sixpoint Sweet Action, Sixpoint Bengali Tiger, Blue Moon, Third Shift Amber Lager

The Bengali Tiger is new, as are the Macro Redd and Third Shift. They seem to have cut the Blue Point cans, as well as Magic Hat #9 and Sierra Nevada. Disappointing. You can also get the Bengali Tiger in the World’s Fare Market in RF.

Addionally there are drafts at two of these stands. They don’t appear consistent but it’s usually Goose Island Honkers Ale, Kona Longboard Lager, Shock Top, and Widmer Drifter Pale Ale.

 

You can still get Abita Purple Haze at Two Boots locations, and I think Peroni as well but I didn’t confirm that that is still there.

 

There’s still a nice selection of beers at Big Apple Brews, even if most of it is AB, or distributed by them. New this year I believe is Budweiser Black Crown, Beck’s Sapphire, and Kona Big Wave Golden Ale.

 

Not bad, but needs more craft
