Fort Myers Miracle announce return of Beer, Baseball & Boom on July 20 at Hammond Stadium

FORT MYERS, Fla. (July 16, 2018) – The Fort Myers Miracle’s eighth annual Beer, Baseball & Boom on July 20 will feature unlimited samples of several dozen craft beers and postgame fireworks sandwiched around a baseball game.
Beer, Baseball & Boom, presented by Killebrew Root Beer, has quickly gained fame as a top midsummer event for beer aficionados, who will have two full hours to taste samples of ice cold ales, lagers, pilsners and stouts from brewing companies near and far. Many Southwest Florida breweries will be featured on the stadium concourse, including Scotty’s Bierwerks, which this season has brewed the new Scotty’s Miracle Blonde Ale.
“For just $6, fans will receive a wristband to attend the beer fest and hopefully find a new favorite brew at the ballpark,” said Chris Peters, Miracle president and general manager. “We suggest arriving early and staying late to take full advantage of Beer, Baseball & Boom.”
The event is an extension of the Miracle’s Ballpark Festival of Beers, a larger beer fest that celebrated its 14^th anniversary in January. This season, the Miracle have expanded the variety of beer and alcohol options being served at Hammond Stadium to offer fans a greater selection of Florida-based brews.
Beer, Baseball & Boom runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 20 on the stadium concourse. The Miracle will be playing the Lakeland Flying Tigers, with first pitch set for 7 p.m. Game tickets start at $8.50 in advance or $10 on game day.
