You see, about a month or so back we learned that some big wigs who just took over at Old Style had decided to take their beer and leave Wrigley Field - after 61 seasons at the park.
We heard all sorts of reasons: That the Cubs were charging them too much to be the “official beer”, or that the new owners were just kooks looking to “rebrand” their beer or some such nonsense like that.
As you can imagine, this proposal caused a bit of a stir around here. For one thing, it seemed like a piss poor business decision. Besides Cubs fans, who the heck even drinks the stuff? Nobody I’ve ever heard of.
Not that I give a damn, but It also made the Cubs look bad. You see, even though Ricketts and his clowns probably wouldn’t be to blame for the move, we all sure the heck would have blamed em. Those suits had to know that substituting Old Style with some other big name beer would've just looked like another greedy decision guided more by the bottom line than by what is right.
Well sir, we received some rare good news from The Friendly Confines this evening when we learned the beer isn’t going anywhere. For at least the next two seasons, Old Style will remain the Official Beer of Wrigley Field just like it’s been since 1950.
Who knows what’ll happen after that, but we sure will take it.
Go Cubs
