Ames Lager

Is Ames Lager sold in the suites and club sections at The Jack? How about at Johnny’s in Hilton?
I know all these facts, but when you say it (or type it out) it just sounds even more ridiculous. It's one of the very few things I've always disagreed with Pollard & ISU athletic dept on, because normally they do things right.
We are watching alcohol sales work very well at conference competitor & rival schools all around us, yet here we are. I'd be disappointed, but understanding if it was no alcohol whatsoever. But the fact that big money donors can get alcohol in the suites, but blue collar fans in the cheap seats cannot...that will always irk me.
I'm pretty sure that Jamie is pro-alcohol sales, especially since he's very much for finding ways to streamline revenue. Unfortunately, his boss is very much against it, and he's not going to publicly get into a spat with her about it in front of the media.
On the other hand, if you have a collective and beers for said collective, but no one cares that you have a team…what do you have?
His boss needs to buzz off, we need some funds to start piling up
They had it at Johnny's the 1 time I've been lucky enough to get in (earlier this season) - think I've heard they have it at JTS, too.
I do not think that is correct - I think Jamie has said publicly that he does not want alcohol sales in the stands and has said it will not happen at ISU as long as he is in charge.
So it’s bad that people buy Ames Lager and not Swarm? It’s hit or miss because people buy one and not the other.
I mean, maybe if all of his bosses have had the same opinion I guess. He’s been against it way before his current boss.
If you can't find it, just buy your fav 6 pack, write Ames Lager on it in sharpie and donate $2 to We Will.
Backpocket coming out with another beer that does nothing for We Will.
Why does ISU continue to license beer after beer, but refuses to allow sales anywhere, and confuse fans into thinking these beers actually are the NIL beers?
All these brewers want to make ISU beers but didnt want to join/help WeWill?

spot on
imo, the majority of our fanbase are like my mom who bought clonefest when it came out and somewhat understandably thought it was the NIL beer.
We need 1 more ISU themed beer and then a collaboration between the breweries to offer the Iowa State Sampler 6-pack.
I am torn on this, since the AD needs to find all the support they can given our trail position in donations versus B12 and P5 programs. Not to mention, we took are taking less media money for the Four Corners schools. I assume the AD is likely getting loose with licensing in an effort to grow $. However, I understand that it can cause market saturation and confusion versus Ames Lager and We Will.
Perhaps JP could consider having a pop-up location on the East and West plazas offering just Ames Lager or all four beers. I completely understand his concerns around the game day atmosphere, as well as the significant increase in costs related to security and insurance.

the isu beer market share looks like this
when it should just be 100% Ames lager
I mean it sounds like people have trouble finding Ames Lager anyway so does it matter? If I lived in Iowa I would be buying all different varieties just because that's what I'd do regardless. But that's just me. Let's just get paying the players under the athletic department so it all just goes into the same pot
So you really think that Ames Lager is just as widely distributed as Swarm? Never made the argument which beer tasted better. Ames Lager is OK. I have never tried Swarm. There are places where there are stacks of Swarm on display and no Ames Lager even slotted in the cooler. Yes...it is getting better. Thank god for HyVee(noticed on shelf in Dubuque yesterday) because if it weren't for them Ames Lager would be pretty hard to find.
