Baseball & Brews - The Perfect Pairings

0 Shares

As the 2021 Major League Baseball season opens, fans across the nation are looking forward to live sports with fans in attendance. From Miami to Seattle, there is something majestically American about watching baseball with a hot dog and a cold beer. While the argument of proper hot dog toppings is a heated discussion, I only acknowledge the classic Detroit Coney, the decision of which beer to enjoy with each Major League team can be equally as difficult.
