Here's what Houston offered at Robertson stadium

Some selections you will see offered on draft are Shock Top, Ziegenbock, Houston's own St. Arnold's, and a Cougar special called "Coug Brew," which was almost reddish in tint and I found to be decent. Another plus for the Cougars is that they have stadium vendors walking through the stands selling Budweiser, Bud Light and such in the bottle for the fan who would rather not miss the game. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by what the Cougars had to offer and how it was priced.

And the 3 or 4 Talons will be there to fire the cannon and fight over the fat girl with XL fupa and rolled up jeans.

From the story on CBS 11

The University applied for and was granted a license to sell alcoholic beverages throughout the facility when it was constructed three years ago.

Wait. What? Seriously? So why the delay? I've heard so many Denton County Sheriff this, TABC that, against state law here, etc. So what it really boiled down to for three years was, "Because think of the children?"

Ouch.

Seriously, call OSDH, have them set up a special stand, and the deal would be golden

[Harry]

Looks like they are getting a lot of media play on this announcement. This one from the Dallas Business Journal:

Beer snobs are so cosmopolitan. I guess someone had to complain though. After a 6 pack or two it all tastes the same. Uber stock just went up too.

Beer snobs think they know about beer but little do they realize that the hops and barely these craft beers use are actually leftovers that MillerCoors and Bud sells to them.

Beer is beer. That said, I'll drink me some Revolver.

Gotta support the local economy.

[Rudy]

Hopefully this means I can carry a beer out of the club now.

Only if it's in a brown paper bag.

[JRock]

Beer flavor.

[Harry]

Can someone give elPresidente a +1? I just gave him a -1 on accident. There is truth in what he is saying BTW.

[laxtonto]

So... does that mean I actually do have to buy Thor a beer???

And FYI it looks like we still have corporate tailgating sponsorship for the fall.. new internationals, but the same ole drunks

[UNTLifer]

I have it on good authority that the student/young alumni side will have Stones, High Life, and Natty Light. The alumni side will have Shiner, the usuals, Michelob Ultra and Metamucil.

Ha Ha, love the negative vote on the Talon comment. Are they even still around other than the cannon crew?

I assume this comment was supposed to make me feel some kind of way.

Bonfire still gets built every year I assume. There's your answer.

Stuff is solid. Enjoyed their Blood & Honey poolside, last weekend. Interesting beer.

Also, on the other end of the spectrum, really enjoyed Lakewood's "Temptress". Outstanding milk stout. Stout, too, at 9% ABV.

Gimme gimme gimme gimme

Only if they decide to start brewing something decent.
