Beer and Major League Baseball have had a long love affair, and the honeymoon isn't over. Maybe you've seen the billboards entitled, "Here's To Baseball" from Budweiser beer. And, if you've been shopping for beer lately, you may have seen some of these.

Even though Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer is weeks away, my friends at the F.X. Matt Brewery are ready for summer with their Saranac 12 Beers Of Summer mix pack. Here are the beers in this year's edition.

As a former tour guide at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, I'm always interested in what's brewing at the brewery (after all, beer is thicker than water). This weekend, Saranac beers will be featured at a craft beer event at Hunter Mountain.

If you've listened to our "Beer Break At Work" weekdays at 3:20 p.m. on 96.1 ODZ, you know that I like to talk about beer. If you like to hear more about Utica's brewing history, head to the Oneida Public Library, 220 Broad Street, Oneida on Wednesday night!

No matter what the weather or time of year, we can think and drink summer thanks to seasonal brews now available. Harpoon Brewery of Boston, Massachusetts and Windsor, Vermont has just released its summer seasonal beer. Check it out!

Not to get too technical here, but I just read that there's a new hop variety now being used by the Brooklyn Brewery. Here's the full story.

Baseball and beer have a long history together, and if you're a New York Mets fan and remember the days of Shea Stadium, you probably saw (or drank) plenty of Rheingold Beer. Rheingold was also a sponsor of many televised games, and we found a vintage TV commercial featuring the voice of the Mets for many years, Bob Murphy.

Ever since television found baseball, or visa versa, beer has been a part of the game, at least in advertising. Since the early 1950s and those old black & white broadcasts of baseball games, beer commercials dotted just about every inning, and still do today. Here's a vintage TV commercial from Schaefer Beer.

Is Ithaca Beer Company celebrating the day after income tax deadline, April 15th? I highly doubt it, but the brewery is debuting a new beer on April 16th.

Beer is one of the greatest ingredients you're able to use in the kitchen. Not only can you drink it, you can add it to your food too. Here's a simple, and delicious, recipe that will turn your ordinary chicken into something extremely mouth watering.

I've still got snow in my backyard, and yet I've seen many summer beers on store shelves already. Really? It's like seeing Christmas decorations on store shelves in July! I think it comes down to the fact that every brewery wants to be first, so let's look at a summer brew that's now available, Sam Adams Summer Ale.

Ever since the Abner Doubleday invented the game, baseball and beer have been intertwined. The beer concession stands, the beer guy at the stadium and beer TV commercials. When I was a kid, I remember watching those Ballantine Beer commercials voiced by legendary New York Yankees announcer, Mel Allen.
