Taproom space at Citi Field (Mikkeller and Ebbs) outside RF entrance on Seaver Ave is reopening

[stevejrogers]

Willets Point Brewery.  Sadly not an actual operating brewery, just a “snazzy” marketing name like The K Korner in the old McFadden’s on the opposite end of Seaver

They will have exclusive food offerings, and I’d imagine a bunch of the craft beers listed on the attached, I presume mostly the Montauks, available on the tap lines.

Also according to all the foodie postings, its where you sign up for Citi’s version of the 9 dogs and 9 beers in 9 innings challenge.

Like K Korner, probably safe to assume this is a team controlling gap measure until the major building projects (soccer stadium and its surrounding elements, as well as same with the casino) give the area enough of a business boom where they can allow stable, and competent third parties back into those spaces.

cool? maybe? you have a link/article or something to this?   (that list is pathetic btw) 

The two* previous breweries there could've done fine probably if they weren't run by idiots.

So far just X postings

Metsmerized doesn't count imo.

 

 

Looks like it's just some text in the press notes: 

 

Which probably means it's still mostly useless, not connected to the stadium, and what a nuked version of the 9-9-9 meme, lol.  36oz of Coors Light wouldn't even get me drunk in 1 inning, 9 mini dogs is gonna be what, 6 normal hot dogs? A little excessive but not terribly so.

Apparently this is open, so they can keep the old McFadden’s space closed to the public again.

Smaller area, and a brewery taproom with a kitchen, so I guess a cheaper space to operate.

It's essentially the same space. And some/many of the beers on the list you posted are only available there as far as I could tell.  Couldn't find Maine Lunch inside in particular, nor some of those Montauks I don't think, but maybe they are seasonal/showing up later.  

 

I also couldn't find an actual beer list besides just reading the taps.

Isn’t that Maine on the right of Lagunitas at the end?

yeah. but this is the brewery place. You can't go inside from there.

Someday a retired Met is going to put his name on one of these craft beers and make a cool mint.  Frank Seminara Boardwalk Ale or somelike.
