Rave: The "Beers of the World" Stand at Savvis

Post by GeddyWrox »

Ok, so at the game tonight, I see two beer stands right next to each other.

One is a Miller Lite stand and has a sign that says "24 oz cans - $8.75"

The other stand is called "Beers of the World" and has a sign that says "24 oz draughts - $8.25"

Now let's see... I am going to pay .50 more for crap beer out of a can, or .50 less for yummy imported beer out of a tap??? Hmmm...

That Smithwicks Ale sure was tastier than a Miller Lite. :cool:

I located this stand last time I was at the hockey game. Best buy in the whole place. I enjoyed a couple of Smithwicks as well!!

I walked all the way downstairs last week from 331 to get a Goose Island outside of ~110 instead of my choices upstairs (Bud, Bud Light, or Bud Select).

I've seen that as well (my wife drank a couple of the bloody mary's from there) but I went w/ the bigger beers for probably about the same price as the bottle of Goose Island.

They have Goose Island draft for the same price/size as Bud, etc. It's right near the entrance wedged between the ScotTrade and the parking garage.

Well that's not bad at all then. I may have to give that a try sometime. I'm not sure I'm going to anymore hockey games this year though.

Yeah, I ran into P-Dub at that stand at the game and got a sip. That Smithwicks was REALLY good. I'm going to buck up and buy one at the game Thursday, and I'll try a different one (from that stand) at the game on march 4th. Maybe I'll try pop's Goose Island suggestion. CK, any others at that stand you'd recommend?

I forget everything they had but I would probably choose the Goose Island after a Smithwicks.

I think my next choice would've been the Stella Artois but he gave me a little sample of it and it was ok, but not nearly as good as the Smithwicks.
