So while I like what the Mets have improved upon in the beer department, they’ve got a long way to go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s take a quick peek.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Locals<\/strong>: They’ve got Flying Fish, Victory, Prism, Weyerbacher, Yards, Yuengling, Sly Fox, Troegs, and Philadelphia Brewing Company. \u00a0I may be missing a few off the list, but that’s quite a bit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Styles<\/strong>: \u00a0If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve been suggesting the Mets need a dark beer<\/a>. \u00a0(They don’t even have Guinness) \u00a0CBP isn’t much better. \u00a0They’ve got Guinness though, and also 21st Amendment’s Back in Black which is a delicious black IPA but not quite the same as a rich, malty porter. \u00a0Baseball is a summer sport, but you can get chilly days early and late if your team hopes to make the playoffs. \u00a0Even some summer nights are chilly and could use a darker beer. \u00a0The rest of the selection is pretty broad across many styles. IPAs, a couple of Belgians, wheats, summers, even Sam Oktoberfest which is still way too early for but I think should be a staple of September and October baseball, Pilsners, Lagers, Pale Ales, Blondes, and ciders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: I haven’t been to Citizen’s Bank Ballpark since 2007, and the beer was plentiful then, but it looks like now there are craft beers pretty much anywhere you look. \u00a095% of Citi Field’s beer selection is located in 5 spots, but at CBP it looks like you never have to go more than a section or two, or perhaps one level down, to find a craft beer. \u00a0That’s refreshingly awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
