MILWAUKEE -- They were brewers one day, Brewers the next. Eric Thames, Corey Knebel and Oliver Drake resumed their day jobs Tuesday after spending part of the team's off-day at MillerCoors, working on a limited edition beer coming to Miller Park later this summer.
The trio settled on an IPA -- Thames' favorite -- based on a wish list the slugger submitted ahead of time for taste, appearance and aroma. They chose two kinds of hops, one with tropical notes for brewing and another with a lemony aroma for dry-hopping.
"We didn't want to go too crazy," said Thames.
