Ommegang, Anchor Brewery
Joust Over MLB Wild Card
COOPERSTOWN – Brewery Ommegang and Anchor Brewing in San Francisco have agreed to a friendly wager on the outcome of tonight’s MLB National League Wild Card game between the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants.
Sporting blue and orange, Ommegang President Doug Campbell this morning challenged Anchor’s President Matt Davenport on Twitter. Matt accepted, terms were drawn up, and a tweet-handshake sealed the deal.
The winner will send beer and a jersey of the winning team to the losing brewery, and the loser, decked out in said uniform, will serve the winning brewery’s beer in their tasting room.
“I look forward to seeing pictures of Matt serving our beer to Anchor fans in San Francisco,” said Camapbell.
“We look forward to sharing our beer with Ommegang fans in Cooperstown, as we send some tasty West Coast [read: Best Coast] brews to be enjoyed in their taproom,” Davenport responded.
The losing brewmaster will also travel to the winning brewery to brew a collaboration beer in honor of the winning team and city. The beer will be available in time for Opening Day 2017.
