$2 Beer night… what a joke

[NorwalkHusky]

Did anyone actually get a $2 beer? We got in at 6:30 and nothing already sold out. What a freaking bait and switch! I swear they only had like 2 cases. WTF

 

[HooperScooper]

That is really lame. Hit up Dave Benedict on Twitter. Maybe they'll have a redo another game.

 

[HuskyBoi]

Creighton must've drank it all way the they were playing

They definitely should’ve had more for at least the start of the game.

Local CT breweries should be involved. Would be nice for both the fans and state

 

[WrenchFan69]

Bad look. When Conor announced it was $2 beer night, they had already been sold out for almost half an hour. Unacceptable really. If they were serious about a $2 beer night, they'd call a couple boosters to pay the difference if they went unsold and then order 10,000 beers

Yea wild. Got 2 when i got in before 6 my next trip at 6:30 they were gone. I was on student section side so thought maybe they ran out first but guess it was everywhere. This didn’t happen for providence last year so idk what the deal was

 

[KingAG]

I mean idk if you want to order more beers and send a bunch of maniacs to the icy backroads of Storrs, CT. Good call

 

[JayKoz]

Also got in at 6:30 and they were sold out.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Two Roads should do the next one with their UConn beer.

Better than the $2 beer situation at XL

$2 beer night is $2 beer night. If the weather is the issue, postpone it. I think it was just very poor execution.

Fair

We discussed this before. You can’t do $2 craft beers. Kids will be puking everywhere and drunk drivers will abound. Craft beer is for the pros.

That TwoConn Easy Ale from Two Roads is only 4.3% ABV. Miller Lite is 4.2% ABV. So you could offer that as someone suggested.

Of course that TwoConn Easy Ale tastes like crap to me. Someone bought me one at a game and I could barely get it down. But I guess it's better than Miller Lite.

just do a 50 cent pitcher night next year. less trips 2 the beer faucet

So true, they probably wouldn't even make it to their cars though.

 

[CTBasketball]

I swear the athletic dept brought in like ten 30’s and then sold out immediately. That was the plan all along tho. Otherwise they wouldn’t have had the walking vendors or side concessions offering full price Miller Lite from the get go.

Very gimmicky, but definitely catered to the students.

 

[Jbirdp5]

It was a swing and a miss with the promotion….the line was a mile long and not moving when I got there and then they were sold out…oh well it was great atmosphere anyway

Gampel is an awful place to do this to be honest. But the only place UConn legally can.

Why couldn't they legally do it elsewhere?

Anything is

We don't have control over concessions at XL Center. XL is the better venue for it considering all the public transit available to get to the game. Fewer drunk drivers after

 

[Rocktheworld]

I got in around 6:15 and got 2. Not shocked they sold out quick. Obviously the students who piled in at doors opening (both student sections were completely filled when I got in) blew through the vast majority. It was just some dudes who weren’t even at an actual stand selling cans. It was kind of odd

 

[Rocktheworld]

Lmao who takes a bus (god help you) or train to XL?

And the pros prefer sipping and savoring those craft cans in the comfort and safety of home. Kill shot from last night’s game viewing. A doppelbock, rauchbier, and a couple big boy DIPAs. Delicious.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Next promo needs to be $4 40 oz night a la Tequila Cove circa 2007.

Make it happen Dave Benedict.

Kids these days couldn’t handle it. Soft.

Aren't these promos controlled by the beer distributor?

Not unless you're also willing to provide a brigade of puke buckets.

That would be a blue blood move. Have the crowd just crushing 40s of OE.
