Another highlight takes place later this evening when Strike brewmaster Drew Ehrlich throws the ceremonial first pitch during the Oakland A’s vs. Seattle Mariners game at O.co Coliseum. Below is the press release issued earlier this morning:
Oakland, CA, September 4, 2015 – Strike Brewing Co.

“The sponsorship has been an amazing opportunity for us to share our beers with the East Bay,” shared CEO and co-founder Jenny Lewis, “and it’s only natural that Drew is on the mound once again here in the Bay Area”.
The return to the mound is in reference to the Former Stanford baseball pitcher and graduate, Drew Ehrlich, who also pitched in the Boston Red Sox organization. Drew immersed himself in the brewing industry after baseball, and became co-founder of Strike Brewing Co. in San Jose, CA.
Strike Brewing Co.’s current lineup features Hunt for Oktoberfest, Horn Rounder IPA, Double IPA, Lucky Bullet Belgian Style Wheat, Lumber Buster Brown Ale, and the Colossus of Clout Irish Red Ale. Strike Brewing Co. beer is also available at several other locations throughout the ballpark.
