Grab a Beer at Citi Field!

     So last week, I went to the New York Mets home opener against the Atlanta Braves. The sky was blue, the weather was beautiful, and the Mets were officially tied for first place. All was right in the world. As soon as the first pitch was thrown, I was scouring the park for what would be my first brew of the 2012 baseball season. There are many different choices at Citi Field, whether you're a fan of a classy craft beer or a good ol' fashioned Bud. I decided this week to write about some of those options!
     Aside from your normal Bud/Bud Light options, there are a few beers worth mentioning. All around the park, there are stands where you can purchase a bottle of Brooklyn Lager and Stella Artois. Two choices that are pretty good for a ball park.
     One of my favorite places to grab a beer in the park is a stand located behind the outfield called "Big Apple Brews." This is where you will have your pick of the litter. Some of the beers located at this stand are Goose Island Honker's Ale and India Pale Ale, Hoegaarden, Kona Longboard Island Lager (read our previous post about this brew!), Redhook, and Tiger Beer.
     Although I have not tried all of the beers on this list yet (the season is only three games in!) I plan on trying most of these beers throughout the year and can vouch for most of them already. I decided to go with Kona Longboard Island Lager because it is awesome, and I was not disappointed.
     Also located in Citi Field is a really cool spot called "McFadden's" that is a lot of fun. If you're ever looking for a new place one night, definitely check it out. I hope to see all of you at the park this year with an ice cold beer in your hands! Let's Go Mets!

    First of all, I'm a Yankee fan, even though they are currently 0-3 right now, I still love them. I'm looking into going to a Yankee v. Met game at Citi Field just to see the stadium because I've heard its beautiful. I'll definitely have to check out a few of these beer when I get there. Thanks for the tip. Good Luck this season.

    Citi Field is a great spot to go to drink, go to the bars and hangout on a nice day for an afternoon game. Its a good thing they built such an entertaining stadium to make up for the lack of an entertaining team

    The Mets are the greatest baseball team ever and Citi Field is a great spot to toss back a few cold ones.

    I love going to any sports games just for the food and beer atmosphere. I'd rather a football game over a baseball game any day but baseball games are fun to just get drunk and have fun!

    Football games are a lot of fun also! One of my local bars actually provides a bus ride to the game and all you can drink at the pregame for $60. The bar is called B.K. Sweeney's in Bethpage, definitely check it out.
