Welp, I have to admit, American Family Insurance got this one right. Does it mean I’m going to start calling Miller Park American Family Field*? No it does not. I’m German. Which means two things; 1) I’m staunchly against change of any kind, and 2) I’m 15 minutes early for everything I’ve ever been invited to.
BUT, reluctantly, I will concede that Bernie’s new chalet looks pretty badass. Primarily because it looks more and more like the older version of the chalet. What I’d really like to see is the full return of the chalet/mug combo:
Sadly, before Cancel Culture was even a thing, the mug got cancelled because people were concerned about the psychological effect it was having on kids who watched Bernie celebrate home runs in a giant beer mug. Didn’t want to glorify drinking culture when the kids went to watch the BREWERS at MILLER PARK.
Anyhow, the new chalet is pretty awesome and we are just 8 (8!) short days away from Opening Day. I already purchased a 10-pack and I have never been more excited to pay $8 for a beer and $6 for a brat in my life.
*Correct:
PS: The actual original chalet from County Stadium actually does reside in Milwaukee at Lakefront Brewery. They converted the inside of it into a private dining area:
Lindsey and I took part in one of their ‘pandemic date night’ specials and it was pretty cool. Especially if you’ve ever wondered what was actually inside of Bernie’s crib. We didn’t get out the black light like an old episode of Room Raiders, but it was fun to eat a bunch of cheese curds in Bernie’s old pad.
Double PS: WILDLY underrated show on MTV. Not as good as the ‘Next!’ bus, but close:
