Supporters' bar/beer update

[attila]

Hi all. Update on the beer front after talking to Rob at Dark Star and Elliott at the club. To begin with we'll have three hand pumps in the supporters' bar - Hophead, Harvey's Best and a special. I've asked Dark Star to brew a special to celebrate the first League game and Rob is most keen to do so.....!
Once we have proved that we'll drink enough beer (!!) more hand pumps can be added with different beers. Obviously it'd be good to have some of the away fans' local beer (which they'll get in their end) in our bar too. Needless to say there will be plenty of lager and other drinks available as well!
As well as the fans' mosaic in the bar there will be photography by Stewart Weir (the man behind 'More than Ninety Minutes') and portraits of some of our greatest players in glass by local artist Mike Payne - I haven't seen them but Martin Perry says they are 'fabulous'.

Around the stadium for us real ale drinkers there will be Harvey's and Dark Star on draught (served via polypins, which is easier for beer dispense) and in bottles too. Heinken-Fosters are in charge of the lagers.

I think the whole experience is going to be rather good!

Oh dear god. I'll be on the ale then...

 

[portlock seagull]

No. There are 2 choices of nats piss already. Drink responsibly. Drink beer.

Ridiculously, I haven't kept up with this. Where is the supporters' bar located - and will it be accessible to all home fans irrespective of where their seats are?!

Brighton kick off in their own home for the first time in over 15 years. How refreshing, how Heineken.

In the North Stand. It will be accessible to all fans on a first come first served basis, open pre and post match.

Great news Attila, thanks. I don't think we'll have any problem selling all that ale. My only concern is being able to get in there. Is there any way it can be expanded in the long term if it's very successful?

 

[cw00]

Did they discuss the cost?

 

[sams dad]

Will there be a decent ( ie not Strongbow ) draught cider ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Did they discuss the cost?

Compromised sense and sensibility. Cirrhosis. Depression. Co-ordination problems. Declaring undying love to an ex. Increased risk of fisticuffs.

Thanks for the update, John

I might go to the sportsman for a pint of mediocre Stella. It'll be the first time in 12 years I won't have had to queue. Then i'll get the bus to the Amex!

 

[dannyboy]

better grow abeard and start smoking a pipe

 

[eastlondonseagull]

All sounds marvellous, so glad we've got Harveys

Regarding the art, Warren (Gripper Stebson on here) took some photos of the greatest players' portraits the other day, and they look brilliant. The mosaic is at the printers as we speak! So excited, wish the season would start tomorrow!!

 

[Marshy]

Hophead it is then mmmmmmmmmmm
