New for 2019: This season, Wrigley Field added more than a dozen draft and packaged craft beer options from breweries with Chicago and Midwest roots.

Local beer choices: Although it’s a widely available national brand, Goose Island is brewed in Chicago, Ill., and actually began in 1988 as a single brewpub in Lincoln Park, Chicago. You’ll find a variety of Goose Island options at Wrigley Field, including: 312 Urban Wheat (American pale wheat ale), Green Line Pale Ale, Born & Raised (cream ale), Next Coast IPA, Summertime German Kölsch, Old Man Grumpy Pale Ale and more.

Other craft local options include: Half Acre Pony Pilsner, Begyle Blonde Ale, Revolution Everyday Hero Session IPA and Cruz Blanca Palm Shade IPA.
