Ames Lager/Omaha Feedback

Unfortunately this is where I’m at too.
Most fans will stick to the cheapest option.
Hope they prove me wrong. Would be great pub to sell the bars out right away
Our new conference mates want B12 tournament in Vegas where the cheapest beer is closer to $3 for a single swig.
Wine, Beer and Spirits usual has a good amount also. Grab a few 6 packs earlier today.
There should be plenty of food options. There are a couple of spots in the Capitol District area, otherwise crossing the street to DJ's or Addy's should be a good option too. If you're coming with kids I would take them to the Gene Leahy Park sometime Thursday when it's nice and if you do that there are usually food trucks around also.
Only Iowa State fans would say this. That $1 extra goes back to help the program. I'm willing to Venmo people money just to offset that extra $1.
Brent-For the people that aren't making it to Omaha, is there an account(Venmo, etc) that we can send money to buy fellow cyclones fans some AL beer?!

I'd guestimate 7,500, conservatively. I'm factoring in some victory hard liquor shots offsetting a little of the beer consumption.
You got it!. Keep an eye out for the $$$$
Man, that really surprises me. I suppose you may be right that there is a segment of the population that would feel this way…but it’s only a dollar (and for arguably better beer plus a cause). I can see if we were talking a $3 or $4 price gap, but I would buy Ames Lager all day if if it was a dollar more (even accounting for a little less beer).
I will add though that I appreciate your honesty and am not trying to shame you for your financial position/decisions. And I assume if a couple of you feel that way, that’s valuable info for Brent. I just personally feel differently.

So people will spend 300/ticket to go to the game but won’t spend an extra buck on a beer to help we will? They are probably the same people complaining that we aren’t renovating Hilton yet.
You’re underestimating how many people don’t even know Ames Lager supports our NIL. Certainly doesn’t help when there’s 3 other beers produced that don’t support NIL.
And then there’s people like my FIL who drink Busch Light or drink nothing. He loves ISU more than i do but he’s not going to change his habits after 40 years of drinking Busch light
So yeah, the cyclone fanatics of the world will buy Ames Lager because we know the value but much of our fanbase will see a bigger beer at a cheaper price and choose that
If there's one thing ISU fans are good at it's drinking, if we can't turn that into a way to help ISU then god help us we're screwed... and we deserve it.
But this NIL stuff isn't going to be around forever the schools will eventually be paying players directly. So this is a bandaid, Ames Lager will still be around though hopefully.
Also I think West O should copy those old school 80s Cyclone Beer cans and make a line of throwback Ames Lagers. There's probably a copyright thing there but someone should do it.
Also Busch Light sucks…. Yeah I said it
