Coors Field Insider: Adult Beverages At the Ballpark

Just a few of the alcohol options at Coors Field

There's an old saying that gets retranslated for every possible enjoyable activity: A bad day at the ballpark beats a good day in the office. I couldn't agree more. Munching on peanuts/nachos/dogs is just that much better when you have something cold to wash it down with. 

Most days, it's hard to beat an ice cold beer at the ballpark. The downside of this is that the typical beer selection available at some ballparks is limited to one brand and "Light" and "Regular" (and hey, if that's your brand, you come out on top!). But some people don't really like beer, or they wanted more selection to begin with, and they still want to go find that satisfying adult beverage.

As per usual Coors Field has alternatives. And I mean alternatives.

During the Friday fireworks game, I went and grabbed as many pictures as I could of the variety of beer stands around the main level of Coors Field - and that's excluding the OF concourse, as it was roped off for the sake of fireworks attendees. This is also excluding the Camarena Loft above the bullpens in the RF club level.

Basically, you can get just about anything to drink you'd like at Coors Field. They have Coors products and Budweiser products, and not just the Regular and Light varieties. You can get Blue Moon at various spots around the park (in nifty wooden stands), Budweiser American Ale, just to name a couple of drinks from the major breweries off the beaten beer path.

They have stands that have a variety of bottled options, including Heineken, Sam Adams, Corona, Newcastle, and Guinness.

On top of that, if you're Gluten-Free, the Gluten Free stands (yes, seriously, they have Gluten Free concessions. These people think of everything) have Bard's Gluten Free Malt Beer for sale.

Don't want a beer? There are a bunch of Margarita stands around the park, along with a very limited selection of wine, as well as cocktails in the forms of whiskey, gin, rum, whatever.

So, simply put, if you're up for an alcoholic beverage, you have countless options available to wet your whistles.

I always like the Sandlot.

I didn’t see the Sam Adams when I went around the 4th last year (It’s my go-to beer for 4th of July, for obvious reasons), so either I was in the wrong spot, or that’s new.

Coors

should rhyme with “brewers” (Without making any qualitative judgements about whether the folks who manufacture “The Rocky Mountain Legend” deserve that title.)

Both probably project as mid-rotation guys

Nicasio could push the envelope higher, but as of now, he really only has one great pitch and no secondary stuff. He really needs to develop his slider and change more. If one of those becomes a great pitch, he’s made. Friedrich has an ETA of 2012 in the rotation, but there are no real guarantees. He’s battled injuries the last 2-3 seasons and is only starting to show some real consistency.

He has exceptional control and velocity

So he really doesn’t walk many – he never has. A 94-96mph fastball with sink will K plenty of AA bats, but without another punchout pitch, his K/9 has a glass ceiling. He might actually be best served in AA now working on his secondary stuff against guys that won’t be in the ASG tomorrow.

Note to the uninitated...

AVOID THE PURPLE MARGARITA!!!!!

I went to the smoking area during the game, a couple of people asked me for a light. They had each one. I asked them how it tasted. They offered to GIVE me the remainder of their drinks. I told them no, but did take a sip.

The only words I can use to describe the experience: Dinger Sweat.

I’ll stick to Coors and Mike’s Hard, thank you.
