Alcohol Sales Pilot Program

[Lurkerjack]

Can we get a first hand "customer review" from anyone at the baseball game last night?

Craft beer choice was really only slap fight ipa from Monday night brewery. Yuengling, bud light, ultra, etc available. My first thought was $10!!#@&! But then, hey it’s for a good cause, I’ll take 2!

lady behind the counter said they went through a ton of training on rules and what to look for in customers (age, overserved, etc). In addition to the normal concession stand they had 2 beer only kiosks.

it was cold as hell so no lines. Will be interesting when it gets warmer and there are more fans.

Overall, very happy with this “pilot” program.

Who cares if this is brewed in the cesspool. How could we not serve Stay Gold at our games!

Well, the little a (athens) has always wanted to be more like the Big A (Atlanta).

I'd rather have Sweetwater than a Athens brewery

Knowing how Sweetwater operates, they would make a GT style beer

I thought Creature Comforts was in Avondale or some such...

Athens.

Avondale and Decatur are loaded with breweries, though.

How about one from America's oldest brewery - sold at America's oldest on campus college stadium?

There are quite a few local breweries owned and operated by GT alums. Would be cool if we supported them

I nominate Second Self.

At the GT Hotel, Second Self has a beer called Up with the White & Gold Ale. 9.5/10

Any word on whether this impacted attendance at the baseball series last weekend?

The revenue is probably 30% higher with alcohol sales.

I was waiting on a response. Not sure how accurate weather info at bottom of box scores are. The info seemed suspect.

What does this do to Alcohol being sold this year for football?
