    All I am asking for is that you allow members of the supporters section to select the beer for one draft line, to be placed under the stairs at 134. Drinking is one of the few things that have made this season tolerable, and it would make it even more tolerable if I could drink a decent beer. Maybe you could even work with one of the local breweries to make a soccer specific varietal.

    If I had to vote for one beer right now it would be Troegs Perpetual IPA or Yards IPA

    Great idea, but are you prepared to pay a huge premium for the "fan picked" beer? You know that if they have something popular, the FO is going to rake you over the coals for it.

    7 dollars for a glass of rice flavored piss or 8 dollars for a solid beer made with good ingredients. I will get raked.

    I was thinking more along the lines of $11-13.

    Fair enough. Not a fan of Hop Devil (Storm King on the other hand, mmmmmm) so I wouldn't remember what they got for it. Good to see they didn't decide to gouge the hell out of quality beer drinkers.

    Storm King is solid. We have a Riverender that is a brewer. Would love to be able to drink a fellow supporters beer at the games.

    The snake and shield is where I stop for decent beer, but something that was quality that is also THAT close would be awesome...

    I was hoping more along the lines of 40oz Colt 45's ....after one the pain is almost gone, after 2 the score doesn't matter. when you get home your walet won't be empty either.

    Flying Fish is out of Lindenwold NJ right? And Stoudts out of Lancaster has some great beer choices. I wouldnt mind paying $13 for a tall boy of good local/SOB brewed beer

    Yup, they're in South Jersey, and I've seen their beer on taps at CBP.

    There's also Flying Dog in northern Maryland and Dogfish Head in Delaware. I'd pay a little extra to have one (or more) of those.

    The beers chosen during the SOB tailgates have been excellent and great value: drink for $12 (non-members) for 3 hrs nonstop. Then you don't need anymore inside the stadium.

    I sometimes grab food on the way to the games even if I bought the tailgate pkg. the beer selection is good enough to justify the cost even without eating.
