They are the main beer vendor on the East and West concourses.Hmmm do they sell beer at JTS to the general public…
West O, Blum, and banning exile brewery from your thoughts

If you’re avoiding businesses because of sports teams, you have way too much time on your hands. Come spend that time babysitting my kids so I can drink a case of Beatnick Sour in peace
How much time does it take to pick up a different case of beer? Okay, give me directions and I will watch them for those 5 seconds.
Yeah, as someone who also loves me some high noons, i'd love for something similar in the vodka seltzer space that sends money to ISU
Yes because the simple act of grabbing one case of beer instead of another is a huge time-waster. There are hundreds of options to chose from-- why chose the one that directly supports a rival? I just don't get what's complicated about this.
Multiple post from multiple people avoiding different businesses. Who gives a **** if Kum & Go used to be Hawks?
Well, they still are until it goes through, and I think they generally are scuzzy so I pick different options if they are close. Does two things and takes maybe a minute.
I'm not really into beer. I drink it, but I'm not in the store for 30 minutes trying to find a particular brand. When making my 5 second decision, it's pretty easy to avoid Exile beers for an admittedly petty reason. I'm not trying to close them down, just making an easy choice.
She died intestate many years ago, followed by her husband three years later. Niece with same last name as the nephew was the original adminstrator. When probate reopened the nephew was named administrator. I assume based on this they perhaps did not have children.
I guess I wouldn’t like someone appropriating my dead aunt’s story without even seeking permission, but maybe that’s just me.
I prefer Peace Tree or Toppling Goliath.
I know this means nothing about their beer or really anything but I never cared for the Exile artwork. It’s intentionally childish looking. West O is on the other end of the spectrum where it’s too formulaic. When I’m trying a new beer I usually shop by style first, visual second.
Just my opinion, but I think that Exile made a pretty big mistake here. They could have just rolled out a We Will beer at the same time and played the fanbases against each other. They could have even promoted it with a cases sold counter on social media. Sit back and watch the dollars roll in. Just like the stupid dueling pianos playing fight songs at P&L. Fanship and school pride make people do things they wouldn't normally do. A really dumb decision IMO.
Yeah when I heard Exile didn't want to do a We Will beer I thought that was weird. I get they are Hawkeyes but pitting Hawkeyes and Cyclones against each other to buy their beer would be a cash cow
Not you obviously. Many of the rest of us here, yes, obviously. You do your thing, we'll do our thing.
I'll take it over casey's any day, but Kwik Star has them both beat
The guy who runs the SWARM said on 247 they had signed an exclusivity clause or something of that nature with Exile. So IDK if exile had a choice. If there wasn't anything like that then it doesn't really make any sense to not make both.
Great job @brentblum. West O is an awesome partner.
