Parkview Field Beer Options
As avid beergeeks and brewers we have been eagerly awaiting the expanded beer selection at Parkview Field vs. Memorial Stadium.
We are glad to hear that Mad Anthony will be serving their beers along the first base line in addition to Granite City behind the homeplate area. With Mad Anthony brewing right down the street from the ballpark, it puts a whole new meaning to “having a local beer at the game.”
One of our favorite sites, Hoosier Beer Geek, has compiled a list of Indiana ballparks and their local beer lineups and mentions the selection at Parkview Field.

When you compare the beer lineup at Parkview Field to the ballparks in the rest of Indiana you quickly realize one more reason Parkview Field will be the best place in Indiana to catch a ballgame.
Yes, better than the AAA level Victory Field in Indianapolis.
Question for Messrs. Spaulding (or others): I know where The Harrison is planned to go, and I *think* I know that the Courtyard hotel is planned to be built along Harrison, but as I look at the Harrison Sq. Webcam (which I do frequently – thanks!) there is a large chunk of real estate to the West of the entrance along Jefferson. Is that all to eventually be taken up by the hotel? Is the hotel an L shape that you can’t see on the drawings that have been released? Or is it going to be something else? Thanks.
Oops. I meant East of the ballpark entrance along Jefferson.
Steve, does this picture help?

Yes. Thank you very much for such a quick response. The view of that image I’ve looked for on the Harrison Sq. webpage always cuts that top portion off. Looks like it’s more or less part of the new city park.
It will be part of the city park but it’s also there in case of a future hotel expansion, but of course a hotel would need to be constructed before it could ever be expanded.
i love beer.
