Beer Choices at Banc of California Stadium

After reading about $20 beers up in San Francisco and having paid $15 at StubHub center, I was a bit scared and wary walking into the new Banc of California Stadium to see the LAFC take on my Portland Timbers.

I have to say that the field and stadium are really great. Since it was a weekday game, the food options seemed less than 100%. There was no Bludso’s (the metal shield was down and locked), and the Beer Belly spot did not have a food menu leaving tacos and hot dogs basically for food.

And though the beer selection was fine. 805 from Firestone, Expatriate from Three Weavers, Mumford on tap, Iron Triangle cans. But nothing was less than $12 that I could see. And as much as the 805 called me. I could not pay $9 more (which would be 3 more 805’s) than the cost at Trader Joe’s.

A mixed bag then. Good choice – bad price. And I would not suggest sneaking in any, The list of prohibited items was loooong and any bag brought in was supposed to be clear. So, go to DTLA. Mikkeller or Modern Times or even the Whole Foods bar, pre (or post drink) then hop on the Expo Line.
