Lee Adams Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I've had "Roo Brew" in the Rubber Bowl lot for about 7 years now. I hope the guy that's ripping me off goes bankrupt. Here's a label from 2003:This years batch will be the best ever. Guaranteed. The new label is already taking shape. I thought this stuff was supposed to make it to some store....did it...what happened? Quote

gozips19 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 i'm with zen great lakes all the way! i plan to bring some up to cuse in hopes of a trade for a local brew. that being said, Leinenkugel's summer shandy is fantastic!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: Quote
Dr Z Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 If we want to keep it "local" can we use the term "local MAC?" Then I would suggest Kalamazoo's Bell's BreweryI almost missed a Zips basketball game because of Bells. I'll take any of the three below on tap in the new stadium.If you ever go to Western to see a Zips game MAKE SURE you stop at Bell's. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 YES! As a former resident of Michigan, I'm a big Bell's fan. Hopslam and Double Cream Stout! Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 ok let me just say that Great Lakes is WAY better than MillerBC, BUT Leinenkugel's is right on par with Great Lakes. It's just the truth. Quote
BirdZip Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 so this all begs the question what kind of beer do you want to see sold? I would like to see yuenglin but that will probably happen after a national championshipDon't you just know it will be the Buckeye Brewing Company... Quote
TexanMark Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure the NCAA prohibits the sale of alcohol at all athletic contests that are held on campus. But alcohol sales are permtitted in suites and loges.Not true--The Carrier Dome in Syracuse is on campus and I assure you can can drink all the overpriced beer you want until the end of halftime. So Kangaroo fans bring your $$$ to Syracuse this fall.BTW, Syracuse offers Bud products (Brewery in town) but if you go on the first level I heard you can find LaBatt's and SaranacClick on the Right Side For Syracuse Tailgate and Visitor Info Quote

I already posted that NCAA has no such rule and any alcohol bands are left up to the schools and the conferences.The SEC has ban on alcohol regardless to on-campus or not. Alcohol sales are banned at SEC events. If, you watch the SEC football championships or basketball here in Atlanta. The alcohol concessions open for Atlanta Falcons games are closed. Quote

goodthts Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 If all else fails, we can still attempt to sneak preferred beverages into the stadium. Not that I've ever done that before though..... Quote
goodthts Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 So since we are true Zips fans and the RooBrew is coming soon, why dont we try to schedule a tour of Thirsty Dog brewing facilities? Anyone wanna arrange that? Here's the contact e-mail: For scheduling a group tour of the brewery tours@thirstydog.com And the website is: http://thirstydog.com/[attachment=174:roo_brew.jpg Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 http://www.startribune.com/local/49012236....L7PQLanchO7DiUrMinnesota goes dry. I'm reattaching the link, as it didn't work for me. An interesting piece of information is the state law passed in Minnesota.That brings the Gophers in compliance with a recently passed state law that requires alcohol sales be available to all fans at university events -- or none.Star Tribune Link Quote
Dr Z Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 "We may expand the areas where we serve alcohol" Thank you Quote
Blue & Gold Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Sometimes my BlackBerry doesn't cooperate very nicely with the ZN board. But what, exactly, were we supposed to see w the link you provided? Quote
tim123 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 After tinking about it I think they made the right call on allowing alchohol only on the 5th and 6th floors. There's plenty of time to pursue your livations after our victories..Go Zips!! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 It's funny....Ohio government for years has said "no" to gambling in the state. But now that there's a budget deficit...low and behold...maybe a few slot machines scattered across the state isn't such a bad idea?Mark my words...the instant attendance begins to drop, or budgets need to be made...beer will mysteriously appear on an Infocision concourse. Somehow, the concern for student drinking will disappear. In year #1 sell-outs are guaranteed. And there's a big spotlight on the grand opening. It isn't worth the risk now. Wait a couple...when House of LaRose dangles a big wad of cash under the AD's nose.Once it can be implemented under the radar, it'll happen. There's not valid reason not to have it. Don't get me wrong...there's a myriad of hyperbolic, ill-founded yet impassioned reasons not to have beer. But if it worked at the Rubber Bowl for 5 years with no problems, it would work on campus. It is the same group of people.And for the record -- I was inside the "Zipsfest" area once in it's 5-year existance. Any other halftime I was taking my son to play on the inflatable bouncing things. If there was a "ZipsFest II" I'd probably still hit it about twice per decade. The tailgate lot is sufficient for me. Quote
