As Milwaukee Brewers fans file into American Family Field on Thursday, they might notice a few new additions to the ballpark. 

First for the adults, there’s the Cream City Cocktail bar located on the Loge Level near the right field foul pole. 

While the Brewers and Milwaukee are known for beer, the cocktail bar features drinks with local spirits, such as a Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned and the Sidecar, each made with Central Standard Craft Distillery brandy.

Other offerings include a Dark n’ Stormy made with Twisted Path Distillery white rum, a Mai Tai made with Doundrins Distilling white rum, and the Southside Cocktail made with Rehorst Gin from Great Lakes Distillery....

Great minds think alike — especially the ones that created MobCraft Beer and Dee Tacko. With creative ideas and entrepreneurial mindsets, this partnership is one of the best that could form for Denverites. By looking to support the public intentionally, these two businesses are now merging to create a restaurant like no other.

Henry Schwartz, founder of MobCraft Beer, finds inspiration from the public eye and has mirrored this idea throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Born in Lakewood, Schwartz began his own skateboard business during his ripe middle school years. He continued on this path, opened his own skateboard store and learned what it really takes to run a business..
