mmmm. Real Ale. We play once every 2 weeks plus night games. Real Ale needs a short turnover to make it viable otherwise it goes stale and undrinkable. If, and its a masive if, we do it spot on, perfect, brilliant and all in favour. I really fear for the standard. Joined CAMRA in the 70's so if anyone thinks its something I am not aware of think I have the pedigree (Marstons on Satdi? - Burton eh) Remember Brighton first game at AMEX, Harveys in very small casks in the alcoves, once sold all gone. Economy of scale, will we follow the similar model or set ourselves up to fail? I sincerely hope not but given the mess up at half time re beer sales not encouraged!
What exactly makes an ale a "real ale" then?

I sincerely hope not but given the mess up at half time re beer sales not encouraged!Quite a few clubs are already have real ale at football grounds. Accrington and Burnley have a partnership with bowland brewery on matchdays and seems to be a success. Barnsley having real ale at Redferns bar,Leyton Orient doing CAMRA discount in the clubhouse,Exeter having a real ale and cider bar plus Sheffield Wednesday have Wednesday pale with thornbridge and have 6 rotating casks,but that opens 7 days a week as they have race nights,quiz nights and open Mic plus private functions during week at the Wednesday tap. I do real ale pubs away days on Twitter and notice a lot of clubs are seeing how popular real ale and craft beers have become last few years with Spurs doing Beaverton at the new stadium. I can see it being a success here as long they have a partnership with a local brewery like imperial in Mexborough,Great heck just north of Donny,Doncaster Brewery or hilltop in conisborough or wellbeck Abbey in Worksop and having someone behind the bar very knowledgeable about real ales. I think this is great news as I always go in town before games for good beer. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Club must have looked into the Pros and Cons but surely Centreplate must be in for a cut as they would surely lose some sales
