Cubs fans have suffered enough over the years. The team has teased and it has failed miserably. It has produced loveable players – who could not want to high-five Ernie Banks and his “let’s play two” mentality – and goofs. Did Carlos Zambrano really walk out on the team during a game!?
Yet through it all, Cubbie fans stick with their team and their legendary, historic stadium, the best in all of baseball. Wrigley Field is more than just a ballpark, it’s an experience, a piece of Chicago culture that cannot be described, only experienced.
And one of those great traditions is drinking Old Style beer from Chicago in the old-style stadium. But it almost went out of style. Several years ago, the owners of Old Style at the time considered pulling it from Wrigley and taking its marketing dollars elsewhere.
To this, PubClub.com asked, where in the world could the money be better spent than in Wrigley Field? And frankly, the beer is not very good. Who would ever buy it outside of Wrigley, except out of a bit of novelty? Chicagoians who find it in other areas yes, but if the brewery had pulled out of Wrigley others won’t touch the stuff. Who was running the company – Skip Bartman?
Anyway, according to Major League Baseball’s list Wrigley Field concessions vendors, Old Style is sold here in Wrigley Field:
• Portable Bleachers 506, 515
• Portable Upper Deck 314, 321
• Portables Mezzanine 207, 222
• Portables Concourse 116, 124
• Retro Beer Cave Upper Bleachers
• Red Line Grill Lower Bleachers Right Field
• Sections 107, 114, 118, 122
Now, let’s go play two. And pass me an Old Style.
