Frederick Keys News Release
FREDERICK, MD-The Frederick Keys are excited to announce the opening of the 4 1/2 Taphouse at Nymeo Field. Scheduled to start serving the public on Saturday, May 11 along the third base concourse, this one-of-a-kind craft beer stand showcase 24 taps from established as well as up-and-coming craft breweries in Frederick County. Gates open on Saturday night at 5:00 p.m. and first pitch is at 6:00 p.m.
"The 4 1/2 Taphouse has been one of my favorite projects to work on since becoming the General Manager of the Frederick Keys," said Dave Ziedelis. "Frederick's craft beer scene has exploded and the 4 1/2 Taphouse will feature not only some of the area's big hitters such as Flying Dog Brewery and Brewer's Alley but a myriad of other great craft breweries who are newer to the area. This is a huge win for the Frederick craft beer industry and Keys fans."
A stand with a baseball-themed name, the 4 1/2 Taphouse is named after the number of innings required for a regulation baseball game. The Taphouse will provide fans with a diverse selection of beverage options that is rarely found at minor league ballparks.
