In a rematch of last year’s World Series, the Chicago Cubs face the Cleveland Indians in a Cactus League game in Mesa on Friday.
In honor of the Cubs’ Series win last November – which broke the franchise’s 107-year-old ‘‘Curse of the Billy Goat’’ – The Brass Tap at Mesa Riverview is holding an ‘‘I Ain’t Afraid of No Goat’’ party.
The highlight will be two goats roasted in the parking for a post-game street party. You’ll get a pint of Huss Magic in the Ivy and a bowl of teriyaki goat over pineapple and rice for $20.
Other beers on tap will include:
- Bell’s Hopslam double IPA
- Lagunitas High West-ified imperial coffee stout
- Huss barrel-aged Koffee Kolsch
- Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
- 12 West/Oro Cubs Way Kolsch
A silent auction of two Goose Island corn hole boards will raise money for the family of late Valley brewer Ian Campbell-O’ Neill.
There also will be a raffle of Cubs gear and ticket giveaways for the Great American BBQ & Beer Fest on Saturday. (Note: Auction and raffles are cash-only).
Doors will open at 10 a.m. for pre-game festivities. The Cactus League game starts at 1:05 p.m. at nearby Sloan Park.
