Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
It's really not that far fetched. O'Conners in Norfolk brews an exclusive brew for the Norfolk Admirals(minor league hockey) team that you can only get at the arena. Maybe have a collaboration between the Fermentation Science program and one of the wonderful breweries in Boone. Let's make it happen!
FREQS AND GEEKS!

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
I don't drink beer, but when I had some of the in house stuff a few years ago it was good. I think part of that is due to very small batches of beer. I am not sure what limitations they have but I don't think there are allowed to make much, though I could be wrong.NoLongerLurking wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 4:52 pmYa'll realize App State makes their own beer, right?NavyApp wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 2:11 pmIt's really not that far fetched.

This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
You are correct as far as I know, they are small batches. I was just throwing a bone. I had some App State beer at the high country beer fest 3 years ago and was also impressed.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 8:24 pmI don't drink beer, but when I had some of the in house stuff a few years ago it was good.

I caught a beeper a few weeks ago and the driver was a senior in Fermentation Sciences. He told me that they are shutting the program down due to a lack of funding.

The Fermentation Sciences program has recently merged with Chemistry. The renamed dept. is the Department of Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences. Hopefully nothing dire has happened since the official change in July.

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
It’s shameful that Appalachian has to canabalize a groundbreaking program like FS for funding issues while the Tar Heels can afford to spend $15 Mil covering up decades of fraud.

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
I wasn't interested in a $5 program. Guy behind me bought a water and said it was $4.
How much was the beer in the garden? Got to think that in the stadium it will be very expensive

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
Good point on cost. UNCC I think was $4 for domestic and $6 for craft, which I thought was acceptable.
Would love for us to study break even points on higher prices versus more sales. It seems like the Falcons have figured something out and it really helps the fan experience.
I imagine most people that leave early to go to the bar are going to pay 3-5 there, so if we price at 4-6 plus you get live entertainment, it seems like people would stay.

Re: Pros and cons of or experience Saturday
$4 and $6 would be an acceptable price point for me...inside the stadium. I believe that is the price range at GA ST last year as well. It was great to be able to have a few beers at the seat while watching the Black & Gold run the Panthers out of "The Ted". I realize we can't do the same as far as taking beer back to the general seating area, but even a segregated in-stadium beer garden would still be a hit, especially with a good field view, IMHO.CharlotteApp05 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 9:26 amGood point on cost.
