Where’s the Beer?

One thing I didn’t mention in my last post was why Sunday at Nats stadium was disappointing to me for a few reasons. Although I did witness Stan Kasten wandering around the stadium on more than one occasion (he’s a phone-holster-in-the-belt guy), I was there to watch baseball and try out some beers. There are still a few on the list that I haven’t tasted and I was really looking forward to the chance. Too bad I couldn’t find any. I started out at the Red Porch, where you had your choice of American big time brews, and then Peroni and Leinenkugel’s Home Run Ale (I know it was a Leiney, I THINK it was the HR Ale). That’s it. I really expected more at the Nationals Park hyped-up bar section. I went with the Leinenkugel and it was good, but I really wanted some of the weird stuff. The bartender there couldn’t be less helpful telling me where I might find it, although he was very nice about trying. We finished our beers from the empty CF standing room only section and watched Hanley Ramirez launch a few into the LF stands during BP, and wandered on.

BEER! At Nationals Park!

Obviously I’m excited !!!one!one!! I’m totally ripping off the DC Sports Bog here, as it just listed the selection of beers for Nats games, but this is probably the most exciting Nats news I’ve heard since the Dunn signing. Or the Martis/Zimmermann spring training performances at least. At first I was so excited that I was just going to basically reproduce what Dan wrote on the Bog. But you can click the link to see that. Instead, since I have become somewhat of a beer snob*, I’ll give you my thoughts, if you’re interested in exploring some in the wonderful world of beer.

Some of these I haven’t tried. For those, I will give you a description according to experts, but I intend to try them, and give you an update to the assessments throughout the year. I’ve italicized the ones I haven’t tasted. I figured – you may get out to the park only once a season, you want to make the right beer choice, hopefully this will help…
