Are you a true orange Oriole’s fan?
Do you love beer?
Are you bummed that games this year will have empty stands?
Have you already glanced at the 2021 schedule, and are thinking about road-tripping to see the Birds?
If you are considering traveling to see the Orioles next year, a stop at the below breweries can add to your trip.
(You can discuss this on the BSL Board here.)
Boston: Trillium Brewery
With several locations in Massachusetts, you can find Trillium beers all over the state. It is summer so let’s start with either a Congress Street India Pale Ale or grab a Free Rise Citra Dry Hopped Ale. The Citra Dry Hopped Ale available as a draft beer at the Fenway location is a beer that will be refreshing and get your day started off quickly. And by quickly, I mean this 7.3% ABV beer will cool you down and warm you up all at the same time before you head into the stadium before the first day of baseball returns.
New York: Brooklyn Brewery
Dallas (Arlington): Legal Draft Beer
Miami: Biscayne Bay Brewing
Bienvenidos a Miami! Biscayne Brewing located a few miles from Marlin’s Park has now opened a brew hall inside the stadium. So, you can stop by the brewery on your way to the game, and then once you arrive at the stadium, you do not have to stop drinking their beer. You can enjoy the official beer of the Marlins – a Marlins Lager. Or you can go with their refreshing Tropical Bay IPA, a refreshing hazy IPA with juicy tropical fruits and a moderate bitterness.
Oakland: Drake’s Brewing Co.
Seattle: Stoup Brewing
Washington: Bardo Brewing
DC can be an attractive day-trip for those in Baltimore. Bardo Brewing is located right outside of Nationals Park. It is over an acre of property where you can hang around outside, have a few beers, and then walk right over to the stadium before the game starts. You can try one of the silver medal beer winners at the GABF, White Lightnin. White Lightnin, technically a Barleywine because it has a high abv at 12%. A sweet and fruity beer balanced with a strong bitterness. Or if you’re looking for something with a little less alcohol, try their Centennial IPA. The Centennial IPA is a west coast IPA full of floral aromas matched with a very hoppy bitterness.
Minneapolis: Bauhaus Brew Labs
Chicago: Goose Island
Tampa Bay: Green Bench Brewing
Cleveland: Saucy Brew Works
Toronto: Mascot Brewery
Houston: Saint Arnold Brewing Company
Los Angeles (Anaheim): Bottle Logic Brewing
Kansas City: Alma Mader Brewing
Detroit: Eastern Market Brewing Co.
Philadelphia:: Evil Genius Brewing
