Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Drake’s Brewing Company of San Leandro abruptly and without explanation pulled its sponsorship of this Saturday’s Fans Fest. Fest organizers Last Dive Bar lamented this development, which apparently will impose some sunk costs on them.
We have some unfortunate news and are disappointed to announce Drake's Brewery has pulled their sponsorship, only three days before Fans Fest.

There has been speculation that the A’s may have pressured Drake’s to pull out of the event.
