I reckon this will be of interest to a relatively niche chunk of our audience, but to the folks who are interested, they’re gonna be really excited. I know I was.
Big, big news on the Wrigley Field beer selection front for this season:
EXCLUSIVE: Wrigley Field beer menu gets a major boost for 2019, including more Half Acre, more Revolution and … yes … Three Floyds. (Including … yes … Zombie Dust.) https://t.co/3Rv29ddOhx pic.twitter.com/z7xfYw0GFd

OMG ZOMBIE DUST AT WRIGLEY FIELD. YES. I WILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Beer selection at Wrigley has, of course, historically been extremely limited. And, depending on which vendor stations you go to, it still is. Things have improved steadily as the renovations have kicked in, though, and now you can get a pretty decent mix of national domestics and various craft beers. The full list is available there in Noel’s report, and it makes me smile.
The price tags on these beers, which are not yet precise out there, are obviously going to be substantial.
Craft beer pricing at Wrigley this year will be between $10 and $12, I'm told.
As for the Floyds, Zombie Dust will be available on draft (line up now) and Gumballhead in 16-ounce cans available only at venues. (12-ounce cans will be in the market https://t.co/WLERUEivxE) https://t.co/bHXxcumb2p

It’s the nature of having a captive audience of beer-enjoyers, and it’ll always be cited by fans who want the team to spend more. Although there’s not a direct one-to-one correlation there, it is true that the more revenue the Cubs can generate, the more money will be available for baseball operations
I plan to support an IFA signing this year with my Zombie dust and Stiegl Radler purchases.
