Beerfest at the Clevelander at Marlins Park
2 p.m. Saturday, June 24. Tickets cost $45 to $65.
Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, no one will argue if you say beer and a ball game go well together. Some say a few brews are needed to endure the boring sport. Others say suds are the perfect complement to America’s favorite pastime. Whatever your opinion, Beerfest at the Clevelander in Marlins Park is a good idea. Get there before the game, sample international and domestic beers, and then sit back and enjoy a buzz with your ball game. This weekend, the Marlins will play the Cubs, but the winner probably won’t matter as much as the little sampler cup you’ll get to take home.
