Bluejays Beer


Anheuser-Busch is the official sponsor of Major League Baseball, and given that professional baseball is a billion dollar business, it's not out of line that the de-facto official beer of baseball be Bud Light, the best selling beer of a billion dollar brewery.

There's no point to complaining about it. If you think about it, Bud Light probably describes most of the teams in the National League pretty well.

Baseball & Beer in Japan


Asahi is one of the largest brewers of beer in Japan and it owns the concession to sell beer at the Tokyo Dome, a 55,000 seat stadium that is home to the Yomiuri Giants, the most successful baseball team in Japanese history. The Asahi Beer Girls, who sell beer at the Tokyo Dome, are themselves famous. During the games, the girls carry a sizable beer tank on their backs, as one would carry a rucksack, and walk the stadium's steps providing beer to thirsty baseballs fans. Certainly beats the hell out of the usually surly beer servers at American ballparks.
