Like craft beer and baseball? Here’s a guide
If you’re like me, then you love baseball. And if you’re also like me, then you love drinking beer at baseball games. Problem is, usually what’s available is a Big Gulp-sized Bud Light for $14.
In Missoula, the Osprey have a pretty good selection of craft beer: Big Sky Brewing’s Summer Honey and IPA, Kettlehouse Brewing’s Cold Smoke, Eddy Out or Double Haul (it rotates) and Bayern Brewing’s Dump Truck and Dragon’s Breath. At least those were the beers available last week.
Unfortunately, while we do have the Osprey, there isn’t a major league team within about 500 miles. But if you find yourself catching a game at some point over the rest of the summer, check out CraftBeer.com’s Major League Baseball craft beer guide. It lists most of the craft beers available at major league parks. I say most because the comments seem to show the list isn’t complete. Plus, the Cubs and the Blue Jays are missing.
Judging by the list, it looks the the Pirates have about the best beer selection in majors. Surprising? Maybe. But not anymore than their season this year.

Great post. Thanks for sharing the story. I would have to rank Great American Ball Park #1 going from the list. I am in the Bay Area and was lucky enough to catch a “businessman’s” special today at O . Co in Oakland and they have expanded the selection quit a bit and now have Kona, Widmer Brothers, Anchor, Laguanitas, New Belgian, Trumer and Sierra Nevada. Surprisingly, or not, they don’t have Drakes, which is less than 5 miles from th A’s yard. PAC Bell/AT&T is actually disappointing to me considering the number of great brewers in the City and a fan base that appreciates good beer. but the new Anchor tap room in the park is a thing of beauty.
