White Sox unveil new ballpark food, drink offerings originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
As the White Sox prepare for their home opener, the stadium is preparing to serve up some scrumptious new food and beverage items at the ballpark in 2023.
First and foremost, let's talk beer.
Guaranteed Rate Field will offer more than 75 craft beers from 50 breweries, of which more than half are headquartered in the Chicagoland area.
The six new breweries making their debut in the Leinenkugel's Craft Lodge are Funkytown Brewery, Magners Irish Cider, Obscurity Brewing, On Tour Brewing Company, Pilot Project Brewing and Voodoo Brewing Company.
Per usual, the folks at Delaware North, the official retail and concession operator of the White Sox, and Levy Restaurants have ensured that no matter what happens on the field, fans always have a reason to come to the ballpark.
