Field of Dreams: Old Time Baseball and Ipswich Ale*

Traditional rules with
modern-day tenacity
Ipswich Ale - 3 Tap Mobile*



Looking to enjoy a time before gloves and the fastball? A time when a ball is caught on a diving catch after a bounce - even a foul - and the player's cap never comes off - then enjoy a New England afternoon of 19th Century Vintage Baseball at the Field of Dreams - Spencer Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, Massachusetts.  

p.s. Ipswich ales served from Big Red.*

*Interesting post from Colonial Williamsburg on the history of drinking ale, beer and spirits during the colonial times (instead of the polluted waters.) : History of Drinking.  Here's an excerpt:

Colonial Americans, at least many of them, believed alcohol could cure the sick, strengthen the weak, enliven the aged, and generally make the world a better place. They tippled, toasted, sipped, slurped, quaffed, and guzzled from dawn to dark.
