For the seventh year the Bellingham Bells and Boundary Bay Brewery have teamed up to bring fans a special collaboration beer, Fielder's Choice Hazy IPA.
Brewed specially each year to accompany summer nights under the lights of Joe Martin Field, Fielder's Choice is the most refreshing beer at the ballpark.
This year, Fielder’s Choice Hazy IPA’s stats clock in at 6.3% ABV, 30 IBU. It's a home run of fruity citrus and tropical aromas from its immense pitch of hops - Simcoe, Amarillo and Motueka. With a low bitterness and a balanced malty sweetness, it swings into a creamy, smooth finish. It is both refreshing and approachable.
“Fielder's Choice is the beer that made me realize I like IPAs,'' says Alison Mestl, Communications Director at Boundary Bay Brewery. "If you’re on the fence, you should give it a try.”
Fielder Choice along with other Boundary Bay Beer is available everywhere beer is sold at the ballpark, including the exclusive Hideaway Bar in The Boundary Bay Diamond Club overlooking first base.
Additionally, it is available on tap at the brewery and in 12 oz Six-Packs across Whatcom and Skagit counties for fans to drink wherever they watch the game.
Crafting Community is Boundary Bay's motto and why the Bells partnership is so important to Janet Lightner, General Manager and Co-Owner of Boundary Bay Brewery.
Lightner says, “Together, Boundary and the Bells aim to bring the Whatcom community a lifetime of memories through affordable entertainment for the whole family.”
The Bellingham Bell’s home opener is Boundary Night at Joe Martin Field; Gates open at 5:30 p.m. on May 31, with first pitch at 6:35 p.m.
Boundary Bay representatives will be inside the gate handing out $10 off coupons for dine-in at the brewery to the first 400 visitors.
Celebrating his ten year anniversary at Boundary Bay, Sales and Distribution Manager, Jon Kull will be throwing out the first pitch and be the fifth inning guest commentator.
Boundary Bay has invited trumpet player Pace Rubadeau to play the national anthem.
Boundary Bay will be back at the ballfield for the Community Champion’s Game alongside Max Higbee Center July 16th.
Let's go Bells!
