A quick suggestions: Go try Pour Decisions’ Pubstitute at the Ballpark Cafe. Start early. This is a Scottish ale of sessionable proportions. Try it before you bomb your palate with hops, sugar and deep-fried food.While you’re at it, check out some of the other great options. Its nice to see so many craft and local selections in one spot at the fair.
