Per a news release from the Saint Paul Saints:

Announcing the Beer Dabbler Bullpen at the Saints' stadium in St. Paul, the place to watch the Saints game, purchase craft beer merchandise and enjoy 21 different craft beers. The Beer Dabbler Bullpen is an outdoor craft beer area in the left field corner with offerings from seven different craft breweries and 70-feet of custom built bar. ... The Beer Dabbler Bullpen will be a permanent fixture of Midway Stadium beginning with the May 11 exhibition game against the Gary SouthShore RailCats. ... The Beer Dabbler Bullpen will feature the following breweries:
-Alaskan Brewing Co.
-Fulton Brewing Co.
-Goose Island Beer Co.
-Lift Bridge Brewing Co.
-Odell Brewing Co.
-Third Street Brewhouse
-Badger Hill Brewing Co. – brews will include a limited release White IPA, which will be tapped for the first time at the Saints stadium

So yes, this is a very nice idea.

Also on the subject of beer: It will be sold, we are told, at the Gophers' spring football game on Saturday. It's supposed to be in the 70s, so you might be thirsty.
