BFC beers for Christmas

Nice idea by the club.... just invested in 3 mixed packs at the club shop. Good stocking fillers for my brother and son.

Only £15 for 6 small beers.

Bargain.

Not a fan of bitter, stout or lager unfortunately- more an IPA man.

But this is exactly what BFC should be selling on Matchday - local produce. There’s some great brewers locally and they should be supporting them, not least because the current beer they sell is rubbish!

I've always loved your positivity regarding our club, but if you could please now do one and crawl back under your horse fiddling rock.

Yeah... it's a stadium, not a craft beer shop.

You'll be wanting all the staff to have douche beards and sleeve tattoos next

Even as a complete pint it’s steep, 330ml cans, you reduce the prices you end up selling more thus increasing profitability long term, it’s a ideology that’s difficult to absorb for some.

Especially when it only costs them 10p per pint to brew.

Why couldn’t they have gone with Bowland Brewery?
They have/had an arrangement with them for the fanzone

The size of them beers reminds me of drinking in the square at Athens.
It started off 3 euros for a large beer, but they ran out after a couple of hours.
So small cans came out for the same price.

Think they are just a distributor
They get the beers from a number of different breweries

Jeez...I wish I hadn't started this thread now.

The cans are nicely designed and a good BFC memento/novelty so , for a Christmas gift,I don't mind paying a bit more than I'd pay for a pint of Old Rotweiler down the local (in the days when we could do this). I'm very confident the recipients will be delighted.

I didn't buy them because I was looking for the cheapest pint around !

£15 for 6 small cans is a bit pricey and will still end up as p1ss.

Agreed! It’ll be nice to share a bit of Happy Place with my Dad on Christmas Day.
