The three men will tip back bottles of Colorado Native, an AC Golden beer made with 99 percent Colorado-grown or -produced ingredients, during the seventh-inning stretch of a game at Coors Field in which the Philadelphia Phillies will beat the Colorado Rockies.

Founded in 2008 as an incubator for small-batch, craft-style beers, AC Golden also makes Winterfest, Herman Joseph's Private Reserve and a whole bunch of expertly produced one-off barrels that it occasionally sells to a bar or enters into a contest.
