POPULARITY
On every home game day, tens of thousands of baseball fans filter into the San Francisco Giants’ ballpark. Many of them will buy beer, and thanks to Brian Carriveau, their options now include more than the predictable lineup of macro lagers. Last season, after convincing the eco-conscious ballpark managers to allow him to sell aluminum cans, baseball fans found they could buy 16 ounces of locally-made craft beer by nearby breweries — some of which weren’t available elsewhere in the city. Carriveau is the Director of Catering at Bon Appétit Management Company, which handles food and drink menus at Oracle Park — formerly known as AT&T Park — as well as the attached Public House restaurant and a posh, members-only bar inside the park called the Gotham Club. After beginning his career in hospitality at the famed Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite, he took to San Francisco. Now with Bon Appetit, he handles concessions for an average of 40 thousand people every home game during the baseball season. It’s a busy, exciting job, not just because the Giants have won three World Series titles since he began working at the park, but also because it gives Carriveau a major league platform to share his love of craft beer with a huge audience. That’s not without its challenges. Buying alcohol for a bar is one thing; buying beer for a literal stadium full of people is quite another — and it’s Carriveau’s job to do both. Can a ballpark cater to every kind of drinker? I don’t know, but Bon Appetit is sure going to try. This is Brian Carriveau, Director of Catering at Bon Appétit Management Company for the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park. Listen in.

The bye week is over, and it is time to see if the overtime quarterback Brett Hundley put in over the break is going to pay off. As the Packers look towards at least a month without Aaron Rodgers in the starting lineup, a 4-3 record and second place in the division can dissolve quite quickly. With the mantle resting on Hundley's shoulder, it's up to Mike McCarthy and Dom Capers to either elevate the team around him, or watch as the 2017 season, once filled with the highest of expectations, ends up being a huge disappointment. Brian Carriveau of CheeseheadTV joins the CHR booth to talk about the Packers coming off the bye week and facing off against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Cheesehead Radio is brought to you by PackersTalk, featuring Jersey Al Bracco, CD Angeli, Jayme Snowden, and Michelle Bruton. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and iTunes.
