Cyclone Hazy IPA
- Thread starter dmclone
- Start date
That will die down after they all get their can for their collection and go back to Bud Light
Do you drink beer? All the brands and types of beer drinkers have to navigate and you think 4 different Cyclone beers is too much for them?
Yep. Unfortunately they were able to partner with one of the biggest and most widely distributed brewers in the state. And they have like 3x the numbers of fans as us.
I'll buy this new beer probably, but I'll be sure to buy a lot more Ames Lager.
I feel like Backpocket is coming in clutch with some options for us Cyclone fans on the eastern side of the state. I know both Blum and West O are saying that Ames Lager will be distributed state-wide, but am guessing it will be awhile until West O is able to keep up their production with the demand and get their distribution figured out. Backpocket has a taproom in Dubuque, and hq is in Coralville. Makes me feel like they are going to take care of serving the Cyclone beer needs of us easterners.
I hate most of them and the ones that I though were ok I could maybe drink when outside on a hot day but could only have one.
Yes, and almost exclusively craft beer. I also know how little the general population pays attention to this sort of stuff.
I'm also maybe a little different case because I care deeply about our collective raising money. I'm not a wealthy person, still young in my career, and I've donated 500 since the collective started. I care less about all the different types of beers and more about the fundraising.
It's starting to become a little strange to me how the AD is all in on alcohol endorsement and fund raising yet no full sales at our venues.
That can is bringing it. Best art so far.
I went through a big IPA phase where that is about the only beer I ever wanted to drink. That changed and almost did a 180 about 2 years ago and I really haven't been into IPAs since. I'll still opt for an IPA if I'm going out to dinner or weekend lunch, but anymore when I drink at home, it is on a hot day and I just want something I can crush. IPAs just don't generally fall into that category, although a hazy might.
Yes, it will go down. And its not 100k a month either. More like half that.
"Over the course of just two months, SWARM Golden Ale has raised just shy of $100,000 for Iowa’s top collective."

Yeah... kinda hypocritical of Jamie. He also could make a ton of money allowing sales in the stadium
I might of been adding their Swarm vodka into that number. I heard the total numbers on Murph & Andy, it was high 80k per month
Cmon man. Just because you have a different opinion on the best strategy for making money off of beer sales for the collective doesn't mean you care more than most of the others on this site about fund raising. Be better.
Would be a cool home bar display with all 4 cans on a shelf.
The hazys ahd juicys were game changers for me. I was getting IPA'd out until those started getting big.

Not sure I'd call it a "ton" - Iowa made $3 million their first full year of selling at Kinnick. It's not nothing, but peanuts in the athletic dept budget.
And while I agree We Will probably needs the money more, you also can't just expect the athletic dept to stop using new fundraising methods because of that. I think they're being more than generous the way they're promoting We Will through communications to donors. As others have said, Ames Lager will still be the most popular of these beers (and I don't think the university has much to do with the Jack Trice Legend beer).
Was that $3 million in sales or $3 million in profit?
You have to consider that people may be buying beer instead of water or soda, which could give the same profit margin.
