[Skatastrophy]

NEED HELP - I help run the local Alumni group in Des Moines. We're already working with a local restaurant and Real Chili to create an authentic experience. anyone have a contact i could reach out to, to see if we could keep beer shipped her for National Marquette day as well?!

Reach out to the Gathering Place folks. They're alumni and will help if they can

Funny that my need for beer watching MU BB is lower this year.

They could've gone for a blueberry kettle sour for a blue beer.

They should at least consider a cream ale at some point given the Cream City.

From the article:

"Among the discarded concepts: Big Ale, a nod to legendary basketball coach Al McGuire; Avalanche, a popular campus bar that closed in 1997; and McCormick, the former dorm shaped like a beer can."

Also:

"Advising the students was "the Beer Board," a group of Marquette alumni with business and brewing experience who contributed startup capital for the project. The board includes David Dupee of Good City Brewing, Joe Yeado of Gathering Place Brewing Co. and Tim Pauly of Broken Bat Brewing Co."  All three are MU alums.

Marquette also has plans for a new version of the NMD beer each year with a new group of students putting it together.

I heard the ABV is a tribute to a former President

Not local, just the next state over, but maybe we should have went with these guys.

And anyone who graduated after 94 would have to go to Eagle park brewing instead.

I know the guy was low IQ, but implying it was 4.5 is mean

Nice!  Admin would've gone bananas over their Apache Beer label.

Oh that's cool. I didn't actually realize David was involved with Good City (and this). Good guy from my law school days.

A Pollyanna exec has a frosh at MU. They are loving their MU experience. Happen to know the dad.

Pollyanna makes some absolutely righteous brews. There's gotta be some connectivity there.

Can't wait for the Iggy IPA. Just throw a bunch bad crappy mascot ingredients into a mash and call it an IPA.

PM me.  I can put him in touch with the cat at the B-school that is facilitating this project.

So... Scoop nation, what did you think? Spiral & I were both unimpressed with the beer. Glad they got to brew & showcase it, but probably wouldn't buy again.

[The Sultan]

I liked it.

[StillWarriors]

Love the can design.

[cheebs09]

I thought it was decent. I'll probably pick up a 4 pack to save a can. Excited for future brews and hopefully they could have one sold at all MU games.

Good City was packed before the game with everyone drinking one. Hat tip to whoever brewed it because I was really worried it would run out by tip. Looks like they had plenty, although it was a bit tough to find in Fiserv.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It was meh. Very cool idea.  Happy to support the venture. Wouldn't buy a pack for myself

Didn't love it, but was happy to try it. Needed a bit more sweetness to it I think.

My next beer was the Central Waters Honey Blonde, which was way better.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

One of the beer vendors told us that each stand got one 24 pack.

Agree.  Too bitter

[We R Final Four]

Not my favorite beer......can was cool.

[rocky_warrior]

Not true. The stand by us had several flats... And were being restocked. People returned from half time with more in hand.

[BM1090]

Stand by 225 was out by the time the national anthem ended. Didn't look too hard for it at other stands since the lines were long.

Can looked great.

[🏀]

Lousy at best.
