The Twins Daily Social Club is kicking off the 2026 season the right way – with a Home Opener pregame party you won’t want to miss.
As the Twins get set to face the Rays at Target Field this Friday, we’re gathering at Smorgie’s beforehand to celebrate the return of baseball… and we’re bringing some serious perks with us.
Let’s start with the big one: we’ll be randomly giving away 50 Winter Meltdown pint glasses. If you’re one of the lucky winners, you’ll receive a ticket to return to Smorgie’s after the game to pick up your glass (since outside pint glasses aren’t permitted inside Target Field). If you’ve been to a Meltdown before, you know these glasses have become a fan-favorite collectible. And if you haven’t, this is your chance to lock one in – it’s the perfect addition to your game day rotation (or your shelf of Twins memorabilia).
And here’s another reason to get there early: from 12:30 - 2 pm, Smorgie’s will be featuring $5 beers from BlackStack Brewing, including Local 755 Hazy IPA and Slopes French Pilsner. It’s a perfect pregame pairing – great local beer at a great price while you settle in with fellow fans.
You know it wouldn’t be a Twins Daily event without great food, drinks, and conversation. Smorgie’s delivers on all fronts with a menu built for game day – think cheese curds, wings, loaded totchos, smash burgers, and fried chicken sandwiches. It’s easy, shareable comfort food that pairs perfectly with a cold drink before heading to the ballpark.
So grab your friends, throw on your Twins gear, and head to Smorgie’s early. Come for the pregame, stay for the prizes, then let’s walk over to the ballpark, ready for a brand new season!
