I've always liked the idea of having beer from local independent micro breweries

Plus visitors be them regular season ticket die hards to first timers can have a more unique experience than the monotony of Tetley's etc.

Justifies the price too opposed to £3.50 for a bottle of Carlsberg

Drinks are very expensive for the quality of products
Maybe that's why fans drink elsewhere....

Capture your customers imagination and offer something different.
Trinity brewing do some great ales. :D

There's plenty of choice east and west of Cas.
Small world beers are good in Shelley
Old Mill brewery in Snaith

I just think it's different and would add a spin on the Cas Tigers away fixture for our visitors along with varied higher quality for us regulars (based on it being kept well)

Isn't there a craft brewery at Whitwood?

Yeah there is
And they've won awards

Never had their brew but I'm sure some of the forum users will have done

I've not found a recently built sports stadium with pub priced beers. They have a captive audience and milk them for what they can. If you want good quality reasonably priced beers you need a daily turnover, not a few days in a month. A multi-use facility, such as the Leeds Carnegie Stand, still won't sell alcohol regularly because of the nature of the patrons not there for the rugby. That is business users, education/ conference types.

Would a micro brew be able to provide the support needed in terms of but tech and amount of beer? Probably not. Also cask is not the way forward on match days in public bars were as keg and this stuff they call "craft" keg is better way forward thes are available from some of the larger independent brewery's but more than likely you will end up with the larger being carlsberg or fosters as it is cheap and readily available. But like I say as far as keg beer goes, theakstons and Blacksheep both do decent keg beer.
