BERKELEY, Calif., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the crack of the bat returns to the Bay, Fieldwork is stepping up to the plate with San Francisco’s star defensive catcher, Patrick Bailey, to announce the release of their latest collaboration: Strike Thief 2x Gold Lager.
Launched just in time for the start of the season, Strike Thief is a tribute to Bailey’s elite ability to steal strikes and command the game from behind the dish. This 2x Gold Lager takes the crisp, refreshing character of a traditional lager and doubles down on its body and malt profile, creating a brew that is both disciplined and deceptively strong.
The “Strike Thief” Profile
The beer mirrors Bailey’s reputation behind the plate: technical, consistent, and wildly effective. It’s a gold-standard brew designed to handle the heat of a pennant race and the brisk afternoons at the ballpark.
“Working with the Fieldwork team was a natural fit,” said Patrick Bailey. “We wanted to brew something that fans could enjoy during a day game but with enough character to stand out. As a catcher, you focus on the small details, and that’s what we tried to bring to this.”
Limited Edition Trading Cards
In a nod to the golden era of baseball collectibles, Fieldwork has launched an exclusive trading card promotion with a limited-edition Patrick Bailey x Fieldwork trading card available at Fieldwork locations while supplies last.
- The First: The first of 10 cards that will be released throughout the season, the card can be redeemed for half off a 19.2oz can of Strike Thief 2x Gold Lager at Fieldwork China Basin Park during the season.
- The Set: Collect all cards for chances to win prizes throughout the season including Fieldwork gift cards, merch, game tickets, signed Patrick Bailey memorabilia, and more!
