WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have announced that they will be offering beers from a variety of local breweries in a new Craft Beer Corner at Shaw Park, the stadium where the American Association Baseball team plays its home games.
Currently under construction and set to open in time for the 2018 season, the 1,400-square-foot deck will be accessible to all game attendees, and will feature stand up tables and chairs that provide a view of the entire stadium.
The beer selection in the Corner will feature six taps, two of which will be reserved for beers from the Labatt/AB InBev-owned Mill Street and Goose Island brands, and two for Fort Garry Brewing, which has had a partnership with the Goldeyes for more than a decade and produces the official team beer, Angry Fish Pilsner.
The remaining pair of taps will rotate through five other local breweries throughout the season, with the following planned schedule:
One Great City Brewing – May 25th-31st, June 8th-10th
Little Brown Jug Brewing – June 11th-13th, June 18th-20th, June 25th-28th
Barn Hammer Brewing – June 29th-30th & July 1st, July 9th-15th
Torque Brewing – July 24th-29th, August 3rd-6th
Farmery Estate Brewery – August 7th-8th, August 17th-19th, August 27th-31st

- Greg C. is drinking a Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
- Greg C. is drinking a Switchboard Session IPA by Muddy York Brewing Co. at King & DufferinWhile the cranky old man in me would prefer less haze, I can’t find much else to fault in this. Lots of flavour with lowish abv - all good!
- Greg C. is drinking a Porch Pirate by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryNot as big & juicy as most NEIPAs, but still sufficiently tropical with good balance. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is appreciated.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (HBC 522) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinCitrus notes up front, herbal backnote with odd hint of cherry candy. An interesting hop strain, hope to try more beers brewed with it.
