Dykstra brews his own (see Goff: Soccer Insider). Shouldn't the dc united beer thread people give him an award, or something?
Here's something I didn't know existed - an app specifically for posting beer-board photos, and tracking new beers: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/a-five-p...=nl.e214&s_cid=e214&ttag=e214&ftag=CAD3c77551 I'll have to see what's available for wine-lover's, too!
The wine apps I've seen are scattershot at best. Unlike beer, which is pretty easy to decipher, a wine label is complex. Several people might identify the same wine differently. Picture-taking apps help identify the label, but reviews/scores/opinions can be for different vintages. I'm not convinced that people are using the apps correctly. Thx, Jay!
Yes. Heineken signed a 5-year deal to be the official beer of MLS, then brought many MLS teams on board. http://heinekenusa.com/press-releases/seven-major-league-soccer-clubs-join-heineken-roster/ Heineken-owned Tecate (in 24 oz cans) and Dos Equis (at Beers of the World stands) have taken over for AB InBev-owned Modelo and Corona as Mexican beers in the stadium.
Other than the pupusa stands, I was encouraged to see they have a Peruvian Chicken and Taste of the Caribbean stand now. The beer looks meh, and the wine is non-existant.
I only really trust the pupusa stand. I'm wary of everything else! It would be nice if they had at least one local beer.
I spoke with someone very ITK that said The Tradition should still be at RFK. He was kind of surprised about the Heineken deal, though. Maybe the FO forgot to include their own brew on the list of things to be at RFK. Thx, Jay!
I saw on the list they had plantains in one concession and got excited for a second before I remembered they're in RFK and I'll be too afraid to try them anyway
While this is generally true - especially of the grey hotdogs - I've found the pupusa stands to be of a very good quality. Can anyone speak to the quality (one way or the other) of the Peruvian Chicken stand? Also, am I right inferring that the fried yucca was from one of the Caribbean stands? If so, I will avoid them. (We normally tailgate, and don't eat in the stadium, but sometimes you just can't avoid it.)
Yeah, I believe it came from the Caribbean stand. I agree that the pupusa stand is quite good. That's the only place I'll eat inside.

This season, I've mostly been getting The 1500 South Cap Lager by Atlas at the Nats games I've attended. My seats haven't been near the more extensive offerings. http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014...ffer-their-own-beer-the-1500-south-cap-lager/ "'The 1500 South Cap Lager' – named after the address of Nats Park – is a 4.8% ABV Helles lager brewed to go down smooth on sunny days in the ballpark."
