That’s really not too bad of a beer selection. Seems like anyone who likes beer could find something that is at least decent for them.

That is always the thing. Its hard for Yankee Stadium to offer a nice selection of beers when 95% of sales are going to go to Budweiser regardless of the selection. Its not good business sense. Especially if there is a price difference, beer is expensive enough that very few people are going to want to pay more for better beer at a ball game.

I’m pretty sure a guy who runs one of the most successful Yankee blogs on the internet has said a good thing or two about the Yankees. Is it really bitching when he’s just stating how our AA affiliate has a broader beer selection than the big club?

Regardless of their beer selection, Trenton is too far for me to attend a ball game. But hopefully Yankee Stadium catches on to this and adds these choices plus St. Pauli’s Girl.

I’ll say this about Trenton: the GM there has very good taste in beer. I used to work with him in Hagerstown (along with the GM of Daytona). He used to complain about all of the quality beers that none of the fans would buy.

According to some random forum post from 2003, beer was 4.50 at Camden Yards. I’m sure its gone up in the six years since then. Nice try though.

I’m sipping on a Victory Prima Pils after spending all day outside, and I can’t help but think this would be a perfect beer for a ballgame. Sierra Nevada PA is a good choice too, although if Yankee Stadium charges $9 for a Budweiser I don’t even want to think what they would charge for craft beer to get the same profit margin. Too bad they couldn’t have gotten a better octoberfest then Spaten for those late season months..

Why would they ever not charge what they charge for beers if people are going to buy them?

It would be doing business the Oriole way if they charged 3 bucks a beer when people will gladly pay 9.

Now you’re bitching about the kind of beer available at Yankee Satdium? Have you ever said one good word about anything concerning the Yankees? Why do you care what kind of beer it is since your glass is always half empty?

I have to have 2 things when I go to a ball game. 1 a good beer(Here in KC there is a brewing company called Boulevard Brewing company and they brew great beers) and 2 a Hot dog. Went to a game last year and it was 40 degrees and I still had both.
