Of course, I had a beer. As you know, concesssions are a special kind of crazy, especially at stadiums where tickets cost you a day's pay. Eight bucks is too much to shell out for a crappy beer, so it's a fine thing we live in Beervana. Two breweries enjoy hegemony of the taps--Widmer and Pyramid/Mactarnahan's. I sidled up to the Pyramid kiosk first and was rewarded with a gander at Snow Cap, which I promptly bought. Eight bucks for a Snow Cap?--you could do worse.

The tap selection is at left.
As a comment on culture, I can say this: in the sweet seats, Widmer Hef was king. Except for the few women drinking wine and the two guys I saw with bottles of Bud Light, everyone had Wid Hef, lemon wedge and all. I don't recall that kind of uniformity in my usual cheap seats, scraping the rafters above. This observation submitted without comment.
Great seats for a great game - wow! I usually can't stand the wait for a beer - or a pretzel, for that matter - at a game. You'd sure hope that $8 buys an honest pint!
ReplyDeleteI would say that Hef in general is the most 'drinkable' non-lager beer that people pickup. To me it is not surprising. It's highly un-fashionable to be drinking some macro beer! Certainly in PDX.
