Safeco Field might rank up there against a beer nerd's favorite brewpub in terms of diversity. And when we say the New York Yankees ranked 30th in The Post's study, that means Yankee Stadium has the most generic beer offerings in baseball.
About 70 percent of Safeco Field’s 700 beer handles are devoted to “good, quality craft beer,” according to Steve Dominguez, the general manager of Centerplate's operations at Safeco Field. Sales of craft-style products crush those of domestic-style mass market beers, by a ratio of about 4-1.
The stadium bought three cask engines this year to allow for cask-conditioned ales throughout the stadium, and they offer a hearty list of 22-ounce craft bombers from breweries like Pyramid, Oskar Blues, No-Li and Rogue. Next year, the stadium plans to introduce recommended beer-and-food pairings throughout its concession stands.

The yankees sold out to the big beer corporations. Color me shocked.

Just came back from Seattle and watched the Mariners play the White Sox Saturday. Stadium is incredible and the food and beer options was off the charts. It was $7.50 for a domestic and $8.75 for a craft beer. Really good atmosphere and cool to be there for Lou Pinella day.

Meh. It's a baseball game I'm not there to drink fancy beer. Just give me a few bud lights throughout the game and I'll be happy.

i go to a lot of games at safeco and it's almost hard to find a coors light or bud there. usually end up getting a can from one of the walk around vendors and even they will only have one or two. all of the overrated craft beers are very easily accessible for you try hards and everything is about the same price.

Its a baseball game. I don't need that fancy shite

Just not true. Yankee stadium had a selection of craft beers but they weren't spread out across stadium. There would be like a central local station you had to go to. Visited in April.

WTF is craft beer? I think all beer is nasty so it doesn't really matter to me

I agree with the people saying it's just a baseball game I don't need a fancy beer. Just give me a ice cold Bud and I'm good.

Atlanta, along with Asheville/Austin are crushing the Southeast/Texas/lower midwest in terms of craft beer. Would be nice to see it show up in the new Braves stadium when built.

beer people are so weird and annoying to me. It's beer. If you were that much of a flavor snob you should drink wine or a really floral gin or a small batch whiskey.
