Certainly no reason to rush anyone back for A&T. Arguably we won't have a reason to rush anyone back all season .

I was expecting worse.

25% to upgrade from Bud to Wicked Weed (which I have issues with) is a steal.

Think of the profit margin on the Bud!

Wake, State and carolina all have custom made and named craft beers in their offerings. How come we don’t???

Because there are only going to be 150 people at the game to drink it and take in all the advertising for whichever company we partnered with. Plus it would require someone wanting to tie their brand directly to Duke Football, which probably isn't all that enticing.

what do we know about Wicked Weed and Bold Rock?
Yes, lots of profit in Bud Light, you just buy a Bud, dilute it by half, and you have two Bud Lights.

For the same reason that you can barely find any Duke gear even in a Durham Walmart while there is a whole section of Baby Blue junk.

Wicked Weed out of Asheville is a very good brewery, and the Pernicious IPA is a solid offering from their selection.

I've never had Bold Rock, and as an "IPA Hard Cider", I doubt I ever will. That just sounds odd. Might be good, but I'll never find out, ha!

yeah, if it's a cider, no thanks to that..thanks for the info

I have to drive tomorrow night after the game so I’ll skip the beer. Next Saturday I will enjoy a Stella and let my daughter handle driving duties.

If you like cider, Bold Rock IPA is pretty good. "IPA" means "India Pressed Apple" according to their advertising. Apparently they do use hops, but it is not "hoppy" in any sense and has little to do stylistically with IPA beer. It's a solid option for those of us who don't like beer.

Ahhh...whew. That makes a little more sense. I don't mind ciders, but an overly hopped one sounded less than good.

The athletic department (or whoever) should contact Devils Backbone Brewing, located in Lexington, VA and Nelson County, VA - same neck of the woods as the home base for Bold Rock Cidery.

It's been free to carry a flask of bourbon into Duke football games for years.

Plastic flasks that pass through a magnetometer are not cheap compared to glass bottles. A friend told me this as I have no personal experience with either.

For years I have wanted that ringtone. Dunno if anyone ever created a downloadable one.

Almost any phone now will let you set any sound file as your ringtone. Pull the cheer up on YouTube or something similar, and record the relevant seconds and set the sound as your ringtone. Presto!

What marketing genius said, "Hmmm, the letters IPA are well-known to indicate a bitter, hoppy flavor in beers. We have a cider that is fruity and not at all bitter. I think we should use the letters IPA in our name too so we can totally fool the audience about what they are getting!"
