\"have<\/a>Last night was a preview event for the new food options at Citi Field for the 2012. \u00a0I’ll get to some of that in a different post, (Or you can check some of the other obvious places, such as the confluence of all Mets and Sandwich news, Tedquarters<\/a>. \u00a0Spoiler alert: We both agree on what was the best new food option.) \u00a0First off, the beer changes!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Citi Field Beer List<\/a> lists Blue Point Lager and Blue Point Toasted. \u00a0Those are actually the same beers as far as I know. \u00a0It’s Blue Point Toasted Lager. \u00a0One has a star and one does not, so I think this means it’ll be available at both the craft beer stands and at some normal places. (Catch of the Day is where it’s been) \u00a0Another weird one is\u00a0Goose Island Sum Blonde Ale. \u00a0I don’t think Goose Island makes a blonde. \u00a0They make Goose Island Summertime, which was occasionally available last year at Big Apple Brews due to it’s Anheuser-Busch\/InBev distribution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, craft beer stands. \u00a0Located near sections 105 (That’s by the World’s Fare Market), section 127 (Near the other foul pole) and in section 413 (That’s the Promenade food court area) of the Promenade Level meaning we don’t have to go downstairs from the cheap seats to get good beer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real craft beers that weren’t on the list last year, or were only available in the Delta Sky 360 Club (The Ommegang may still only be there) \u00a0include Blue Point Summer, Blue Point White India Pale Ale (This one’s a new one, premiered March 29th, 2012), Ommegang Abbey Ale, Redhook Pilsner, Six Point Sweet Action, Sierra Nevada, Magic Hat #9, and Widmer Drifter Pale Ale. \u00a0Also new is the expanded line of Shock Top ales, the Lemon Shandy, the Raspberry Wheat, and the Wheat India Pale Ale.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m still going to do a full analysis of Citi Field on Opening Day to take in the options and confirm this list. \u00a0Having a craft beer stand is an excellent idea, and having three of them even better. \u00a0I’m happy with this expansion, but I also hope this is a first step and not a final idea. \u00a0The list has 12 stars on it representing the beers available at the craft beer stands in either cans or drafts. \u00a0I imagine some of the more seasonal ones will rotate out, like Blue Point Summer, but the others include Shock Top, Leinenkugel Summer Shandy and Blue Moon, which are macro brews. \u00a0Also included are\u00a0Anheuser-Busch\/InBev distributed Goose Island IPA, Kona Longboard Lager, and Widmer Drifter Pale Ale. \u00a0 \u00a0The real expansion is the Blue Point brews, and that’s great. \u00a0It’ll also be nice to be able to have Magic Hat #9, Sixpoint Sweet Action and Sierra Nevada outside the club areas. \u00a0 Sixpoint has a large line of cans available these days, so hopefully more of those start showing up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
