What's a George Steinbrenner without a Billy Martin or a Tom Glavin without A Greg Maddux? Probably like a baseball game without beer.

You can assure a happy marriage of the two Saturday night at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, when Baseball and Brews comes to the same field that hosts the popular Field of Beers.

This time, it's a sample-fest - taste 20 beers from a group of 30 craft brews, and stay for a Minor League game - all for one $20 ticket.

Hopheads can choose 20 tastes from the following craft brews on tap:

Shipyard Export Ale
Shipyard Summer Ale
Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat
Shipyard Fuggles IPA
Shipyard Old Thumper
Avery IPA
Avery White Rascal
Blue Point Summer Ale
Red Brick Laughing Skull Ale
Thomas Creek Class 5 IPA
Shiner Bock
Shiner Hefeweizen
Shiner Ruby Red Bird
Native Lager The Eleven Brown Ale
Monk in the Trunk
Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale
Oskar Blues Old Chub
Summit Extra Pale Ale
Summit Horizon Red
Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale
Breckenridge Vanilla Porter
Magic Hat #9
Magic Hat Single Chair Ale
Magic Hat Wacko
Magic Hat Blind Faith
Stoudt's Hefer in Wheat

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for the fest. Attendees get a checklist for the beers. It's followed by the game at 6:35 between the baby Marlins - the Jupiter Hammerheads (17-30) - and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Bradenton Mauraders (28-18).

Craft beer will be sold at the concession stand, in case all that sampling makes you thirsty. Food, too.

Tickets, available only to those 21 and over, are available through Ticketmaster, or at Roger Dean Stadium. Call (561) 630-1828, or go to rogerdeanstadium.com for more info.
