Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, my dad taught me to love all things Chicago. So naturally, I became a Blackhawks, Bears, Bulls and Cubs fan. (Although I’m not a White Sox fan, I wish them luck as well.) I have specific memories and particular items that I associate with each team. When it comes to the Cubs, I think of the ivy at Wrigley Field, of course, but I also think of Old Style beer.

I remember that many of my friends were excited for the day they turned 21 so that they could order an Old Style beer at Wrigley Field. They, too, grew up remembering fans drinking Old Style during a Cubs game, and it became as associated with the team as the seventh inning stretch’s “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” sung by Harry Caray.
