Friday Feedback
August 26, 2011 by Mike CasazzaWelcome to the Friday Feedback, which is brewed right here in this little pocket of Morgantown, but keeps coming at you free of charge. Finally got some details about which beers cost what and how they’ll be served at Mountaineer Field. Here’s what we now know:
$7: 16-ounce plastic bottles of Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors products.
$8: 16-ounce plastic bottles of Mike’s Hard Lemonade (!) and 20-ounce plastic drafts of Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors products.
$9: 20-ounce plastic drafts of Morgantown Brewing Company products and Blue Moon. Check back later for the exclusive announcement about orange wedges!
Call me crazy, but that’s entirely tolerable. It’s not cheap, but it’s certainly comparable to what you would either expect here or experience elsewhere. And thus ends the preliminary phase of the beermageddon at WVU. All I wanted was an A or an F. Either this thing was going to work or it was going to fail spectacularly … and trends make you tend to believe the former more than the latter. But what if, for example, WVU was pouring Old Milwaukee products and slinging Natty in the stands. What if the prices were through the roof for what they are selling? What if all the details hadn’t been covered?
As it stands, you’ve got the beers of the masses, as well as a really good local brewery, and the minutia has been mastered, right down to offering people a free soft drink if they serve as designated drivers. Really, all that’s left is figuring out how to profit off the plastic bottles — 10 cents in Michigan!
Onto the Feedback. As always, comments appear as posted. In other words, police yourself.

It was a bad time for the empire.
