CUSTOM BEER OF THE NORTHWOODS LEAGUE
Like the rare and valuable five-tool player, this American cream ale has what it takes to turn heads. The recipe features 6-row American barley and flaked maize, which adds a pleasant sweetness and texture. The result is an amazingly drinkable beer. Five Tool is available seasonally at select Northwoods League ballparks and surrounding markets.
We are pleased to partner with Broken Bat Brewing Co., out of Milwaukee, WI, to brew Five Tool. They work with a network of distributors to supply our teams and other retail outlets throughout the Midwest.
