Seattle, WA - Its the third month of the 2010 Major League Baseball season and already we have seen examples of perfection, missed opportunity, and the end of an era for a local Seattle legend. We are of course discussing baseball, and what better way to participate in one of Americas' oldest professional pastimes times, than with a cold Pyramid craft beer.

The Brewery & Alehouse hasn't forgotten what a wonderful location they have in the Seattle area, fixed right across from Mariner's Safeco Field, and to show how much they know this they are going to be giving away some stuff.

Pyramid Breweries excitedly announces ‘High Heat’ – a regional promotion building upon Pyramid’s partnership with the Seattle Mariners – and invites Pyramid fans and baseball fans alike to enter for a chance to win.

High Heat captures the energy and excitement surrounding the northwest’s favorite baseball team.  There are over 30 prizes up for grabs and one lucky fan will win the experience of a lifetime – throwing out the first pitch at a Seattle Mariners vs. Boston Red Sox game in July.  Prizes include:
