Hey you! Yeah, you, sitting there with your Blue Moon beer. Do you know where it’s made? No not your baby, your beer smart guy. When you walk into Coors Field, go under the Rock Pile at Gate B. There, you will see where your Blue Moon was conceived. At the Blue Moon Brewing Company at The Sandlot, of course.

Drinks: Blue Moon. Need a little more information? Blue Moon and a full bar…and some other beer. Either way, if you want to do some pre-game boozing, come to this fabulous beer garden inside the ballpark itself.

Décor: When you walk in from the concourse, you will notice black and white baseball photos on the pillars of the brewery. From there you will be greeted by the long, wooden bar. Once inside, you’ll want to walk straight outside—to the beer garden. With new tables, trees and planter boxes, you will be greeted with an almost tailgate-type party vibe. Everybody is there for the same reason; to drink and watch some baseball.

Sound:
Drunken stupors. Fine, and the occasional one-upper who has to prove they know more about baseball than the dude next to them. One-uppers in sports have got to annoy you, if of course, you know more than them. Drink your beer, talk the talk, and drink some more. That’s how it’s done at the Blue Moon Brewing Company at The Sandlot.

Crowd: Besides the one-uppers, you have baseball fanatics. Along with the occasional spouse who only goes to games to drink and eat some food. Mostly though, you have your crazed baseball fans who would get hit by a car if that meant they can shake Matt Holliday’s hand. When you add liquor into the mix, you can only imagine what happens next.

Insider Tips: If you want to secure a cushion for your tushion, we suggest coming to the brewery right when the gates open. Once a half hour before the game rolls up, you’ll be elbowing the annoying Cubs fans to get to the beer garden to chug a fast one.

Staff: Blue Moon Brewmaster, John Legnard, is a fella you have to meet. Not only is he a master beer chemist, he is just an overall nice guy. The entire staff is there to serve you and to have fun. They enjoy their job, and they enjoy loyal fans like you. Once again, GO ROCKIES.
