From former baseball players-turned-brewmasters to beers inspired by triple plays, these breweries offer a little something extra for Giants, Padres and A’s fans.
Beer and baseball: Two American pastimes linked at the waist. Here are some great California breweries with real connections to the game:Strike was founded by three former collegiate athletes, one of whom coached and another who played minor league for the Boston Red Sox organization. After their sports careers ended, they started a brewery with the “name being the least subtle nod to the sport,” says co-founder Drew Ehrlich.
“Many of our beers have names that have some sort of tie to baseball — Two Seam, Triple Play, Lost in the Sun — or reference baseball in other media — Colossus of Clout, Run Like Haze, Haze on First?, etc.,” says Ehrlich. And they have more punny seasonal beers coming out in the future, like “Opening Haze , Fall Ball and Fireworks Night.”Two Pitchers Brewing Co., Oakland
The founders of Two Pitchers met while playing on the Williams College baseball team in Massachusetts. “Playing might be a little generous, though,” says co-founder Tommy Hester. “We were pretty firmly stapled to the bench for most of our collegiate careers. During those long hours with no playing time in sight, we found a shared love of craft beer.”
What they loved was light, aromatic and a perfect thirst-quencher after a hot day of playing ball. “We came up with the idea to make craft radlers – small-batch beers blended with all-natural fruits and juices post-fermentation. The goal was to take this maligned concept and bring it into the craft fold for the first time,” Hester says. The brewery now sells radlers in stores around the country and at its new Oakland taproom, also the site of the popular burger joint, Lovely’s.
