That will die down after they all get their can for their collection and go back to Bud LightWhich is sad because look at Swarm, they're getting like 100K a month from their beer sales already.
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?I 100% agree with this. People will get confused and buy these other cans thinking they're heping out WeWill. I guarantee it.
The more beers out there, the more possibilities for people to get confused. And WeWill definitely needs the money more than the atheletic department. If Jamie wants to open up Jack Trice beer sales for everyone, he can get his needed money.
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.Which is sad because look at Swarm, they're getting like 100K a month from their beer sales already.
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.There are a LOT of varieties of IPAs, you hate all of them? IMO, hazy's are some of the easier drinking IPAs & my favorite. A lot of the various IPA varieties taste nothing alike.
Yes, and almost exclusively craft beer. I also know how little the general population pays attention to this sort of stuff.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?
Nice. Backpocket has always been hit/miss with me but they've improved a lot over the last few years. Fingers crossed that this is a good one.
In collaboration with @iowastateu & @cycloneath, we are so excited to introduce Cyclones Hazy!
This Hazy IPA was brewed with Galaxy, Citra, and Mosaic hops - then heavily dry hopped with Vic Secret for sweet flavors of pineapple, passion fruit & citrus! There is no better way to show your ISU pride than with a Cyclones Hazy in hand. Available 9/22 at participating retailers.

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.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, it will go down. And its not 100k a month either. More like half that.That will die down after they all get their can for their collection and go back to Bud Light
Yeah... kinda hypocritical of Jamie. He also could make a ton of money allowing sales in the stadiumIt'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.
I might of been adding their Swarm vodka into that number. I heard the total numbers on Murph & Andy, it was high 80k per monthYes, 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."

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.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.
The hazys ahd juicys were game changers for me. I was getting IPA'd out until those started getting big.I went through a big IPA phase where that is about the only beer I ever wanted to drink.

Was that $3 million in sales or $3 million in profit?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).
