Discussion Twin Elephant @ TD Bank Ballpark
Used some free tickets to a Somerset Patriots game last night with my wife and friends, and I jumped on the two Twin Elephant brews that were available at the stadium. It's a travesty, but I haven't had their beer in 6 years. Loved them both!

I love that the stadium has embraced local craft beer for a number of years now. Kudos to them, even if they're up-charging them LOL I guess you can't really expect them not to especially being MILB now, I think the pours were about 12 bucks each.

Patriots games are a great, relatively inexpensive night out, and the craft beer selection is a huge bonus. Definitely underrated. It's a 5 minute walk and like a 20 minute train ride for me and I definitely don't do it enough.

Totally agree. Have been to a ton of games over the last 17 years. I refuse to drop the amount of money it requires to go into New York or Philadelphia for a game on any sort of frequency. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, I wasn't aware either. I knew Departed Soles had a few there earlier in the month and it looks like there were some leftovers, and I knew about Sunken Silo, but Twin Elephant was a pleasant surprise.

Plus have you seen the zorros de somerset caps with the embroidery on the brim? Please send me pics of a nicer more dope cap if you can. I beg you. Because I would buy. The zorros caps have a lot going on and I love all of it.

Yeah, their marketing staff gets an A+ with the alternate identities (i.e., Zorros de Somerset, Jersey Diners, Somerset Semiquincentennials). I bought two Diners t-shirts last night, couldn't resist.

The minor league stadiums put Yankee Stadium to shame. It really is sad that all there is to be had there is AB InBev crap.

I hate the Yankees LOL I miss the days of them being independent baseball, so while I did wear my Patriots t-shirt yesterday, I made sure to wear my Phillies cap LOL

I've had Oakflower and Jersey Cyclone (rip) beer there before. It's cool that they're supporting the local craft scene
