Beer and Baseball: America’s Front Runners

Festival Wine & Spirits On April 3, 2017 / Craft Beer Corner, Sports

Baseball is America’s favorite pastime. We all have fond memories of going to the ballpark with our family. We think back to wearing a ratty glove in hopes of catching a fly ball, eating a ballpark hotdog that was undeniably delicious, and cheering on the home team (even if they were losing). And, there is probably no denying that Dad was enjoying a cold beer. Because, when we get down to it, beer and baseball have and will always go hand and hand. Much like pen and paper, peanut butter and jelly, or Bert and Ernie, you can’t have one without the other. So, what exactly makes beer and baseball the perfect pairing? We’ve taken the liberty of compiling a list of our favorite reasons.
