What beer should be on tap at the Amex.

[Napper]

I would think the favourite must be Coors with their Carling and Becks Vier.

This would be excellant. + 1 pump of bitter for the oldies. Perhaps a John Smiths or something

 

[ROSM]

I would expect the standard Foster, Carling or Carlsberg which ever brewer gets the contract and whatever is their ale if they deem it viable to have real ale other wise we shall finish up with John Smths Smooth, Tetley Smooth or Boddingtons or some other keg beer. Because of the location, unfortunately Harveys is a possibility, but wouldnt expect the likes of Dark Star to get a look in as I dont think they will be able to compete with tendering price that the big companies can. I would like to see London Pride but wont build my hopes up because if they do not supply Brentford, on their doorstep there is not a lot of hope for them supplying us. I would think the favourite must be Coors with their Carling and Becks Vier.

certainly wouldn't object to London pride. Emirates does have bottled London Pride in their exec level and they do have it in the boardroom at Brentford and in 3 of the 4 pubs on the corners around the ground. Youngs is also not a bad beer but cant recall that in any ground.

 

[Biscuit]

Whatever beer it will be, what do we reckon, £4 a pint?

Probably. Although if you go to the wrong bars in London it's £3.50 for a f***ing bottle!!

 

[Jonno]

I wonder if there is any chance of the catering improving at the Amex??

Never understood why some people drink bottled versions of beers that are also on tap (e.g. Stella), same price for half the beer! Loads of people do it though.

 

[Cian]

Hopefully not Carlsberg or Carling.
Budweiser and Amstel with a cheeky Patricia a uruguayan beer. (Never tasted it but it should keep Gus happy)

You say "hopefully not Carlsberg or Carling" and suggest BUDWEISER instead?

Please return your tastebuds, they're clearly defective if you think Budweiser is even drinkable, let alone suitable as a replacement for, oh, anything else.

 

[The Large One]

I'm led to believe Harvey's AND Dark Star will be available at Falmer.

Lager? Meantime Helles for me, please.

 

[FlownWest]

Leffe on tap would be amazing, but I'm probably asking for too much there.

Otherwise, as long as there's a premium lager there I'll be happy, but no doubt they'll have to have some piss lager as well to please a large amount of customers.

 

[Biscuit]

I would doubt it!

 

[-gully-]

Not anything to do with taste just dont like Scousers particularly and I know its narrow minded and all now that they are not the main sponsor but I have worked with so many annoying Liverpool Fans. As for Carling its just Everywhere and their adverts are crap.

 

[Hiney]

Oh gawd, not THIS binfest again.

This

A THOUSAND times this.

 

[ROSM]

This

A THOUSAND times this.

It's important though. having stood next to you at Bristol Rovers I know just how a poor pint can affect your insides

 

[e77]

Addlestones would be a good cider (tends to be in a lot of Harvey's pubs anyway).

 

[Lord Bracknell]

There seems to be a discrepancy between how people imagine "the contract" will be let. Will it be on the basis of "choose your supplier and put up with what they give you" or "choose what you want and tell the contractor to supply it" ?

We've been told all along that Falmer will be different from other stadiums. So far, it's lived up to that promise.

 

[Albumen]

Gotta be Harveys surely. It's not my favourite beer but it's a good ale and I've been told that's what they'll have mainly due to the location. Bring the real ale live football watching experience on.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Harveys. And that's it

Good point, well made.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Is Harveys brewed locally then ? i mean in the UK ?

I would expect the process to be a case of companies tendering with price and product availability and the 2 will be weighed up against each other and a decision made taking all aspects into account that (a) The club must make the maximum amount of money (b) The customers must be satisfied. However, this hasnt worked for both aspects with the catering in the northstand at Withdean.

Unless Lewes isn't in the UK these days?! They did do a Bring Home the Albion brew, lets not forget.
