Also it occurred to me, we could have the greatest beer in the world (Timothy Taylor's Landlord) but if the people running the place, can't keep a decent pint, it will all be meaningless, and we might as well have Fosters.

Absolutely correct, I love ESB but I've been served more undrinkable pints of it than I care to remember.

As well as the usual largers would it be possible to have two real ale beers on tap and one guest ale from a brewery from the town of our opponent, perhaps their town/cities signature brew?

I'm a dark Star fan so hopefully they'll be on.

I like the idea above of a guest ale from the opposing area.

Same. It would ensure big sales to the away fans, and give the home fans a turnaround of guest ales also. Maybe even ask the away fans to vote on what ale they'd like laid on for the match.

If the club play it right they could be the talk of the league for innovative ideas such as this.

Would it?

Isn't that like going on holiday abroad and seeking out fish & chips and a Sunday roast, over local fare.

Wouldn't the preference be for sampling the local brew over the stuff you get at home all the time?

Playing devils advocate here, as I think it's a good idea.
But surely a small part of the fun, of being away from home, is looking forward to the local tipple. (Or Timothy Taylor's Landlord :lol:)

Could easily have the 'home' ale and the 'away' ale available at all ale-selling outlets in the stadium tho eh?

Falmer is a blank canvas - which is brilliant. Allows the club to cherry-pick all the smartest ideas on NSC at zero cost. Which in turn will enable them to sell more beer. Everybody wins :thumbsup:

The NEAREST brewery to the stadium is the wonderful establishment run by the Reverend Godfrey Broster - Rectory Ales at Streat Hill Farm, on top of the downs, just 2.5 miles north of the stadium.

I believe Miles Jenner has installed his very own micro brewery inside the brewery buildings in Lewes.

But is Harvey's not a micro-brewery itself. I here it does not deliver outside of sussex(from a fellow ex-sussex exile i drink with) and likes to keep it local. I know it is quite big to be considered a micro-brewery but it is also to small to be a mass producer and it has managed to keep it's taste throughout the years (i'm not a harveys fan btw).

Apart from its pubs in Hampshire, Surrey, Kent, Berkshire and London you mean?

We've found our piss drinker.

Don't know if it's any good as I dont drink the stuff, but isn't Merrydown an East Sussex cider?

nope, they got taken over by one of the other firms some years ago, so it's now from Hereford.
