Craft beer is exploding in popularity, and now accounts for over 5% of all U.S. beer sales, according the the Brewers Association. As the masses start to appreciate real brew, craft styles are showing up in spots that used to be the bastion of macro-lager lore, like baseball stadiums.

Even though Budweiser is still the official beer of the MLB, there are plenty of parks across the country serving up great options outside the regular big beer mainstays. The New York Times lists several in their recent trend piece on the topic, including Erie Railbender Ale (PNC Park in Pittsburgh), Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat (Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City) and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald (Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia).

Here in Baltimore, Camden Yards has recently upped its craft brew game. The opening of Dempsey's Brewpub brought housemade microbrews to the park, and then there's the Flying Dog storefront that features special firkin tappings on a regular basis. Yes, things are finally getting good for lovers of beer and baseball.
