Lay of the Land

The cardboard cutouts were kind of creepy, the piped-in crowd noise was kind of annoying and a fake audience doesn’t drink any beer. Even at 25 percent capacity maximum (currently), EVERYONE is happy to see fans back in the stands and beer flowing again at T-Mobile Park.

Our beer listings will likely need to be updated as the season rolls along. Rest assured, we’ll do that. No surprise, things are a little different this year. There’s not as much draft beer on our list as years past, but we’ve been told that draft options will increase as, and if, the capacity levels increase.

No sign of the beloved cask-conditioned beer station this year. Sad, but understandable given the reduced capacity limitations. Who knows, maybe the cask station will return. We’ll keep you posted.

This is what we know so far about the beer lineup at T-Mobile Park for the 2021 Mariners season. Note that we focus on craft beer, with a particular eye on Washington-brewed craft beer. (Yes, I am aware that Elysian and some of the others do not technically fit that description.)

Where’s The Beer?

Note that the numbers refer to section numbers. For instance, 116 refers to Section 116, which is on the 100 level between first base and the foul pole. In some cases, we mention the place where you’ll find the beer. For instance, All Star Club.

Best Craft Beer Bets

The beer stands at sections 116, 330, and 319 appear to have the best selection. I should say, the most choices for canned craft beer. (Complete canned beer list below.)

You’ll find the widest selection of Value Beers at the beer stands at sections 116 and 141. (Complete value beer list below.) Personally, this option is the option that best suits my needs.

For draft beer, it looks like most of the good stuff is up on the 300 level at sections 330 and 319. We anticipate the draft beer situation to change as the capacity restrictions change. (Complete draft list below.)

Canned Craft Beer

It seems that the ballpark really wants to push people towards drinking canned beer. Given the dynamic nature of the situation these days, cans are probably a pretty safe way for them to go.

Stay Tuned

In 2021, this is something of a moving target. We will update this list as more information becomes available and as things change at the ballpark. As I said earlier, capacity at T-Mobile Park is currently limited to 25 percent. If and when that changes, we expect the ballpark to add more beer options.
