If I recall, it was a kid from an area school without a FB team that made the suggestion, so that would be at least one more fan. That is a start.

And of course we sell St. Arnold's, a brand of beer exclusively brewed in Houston.
Cougar Brew is Bud Light with food coloring, and St. Arnold's blows compared to Deep Ellum Brewing Company.

Why not set up the corral in the stadium? Perhaps in the concession stands?

In parking lot just north of stadium.
Or in the stadium / s endzone to get people in stadium early. If in pregame, get stamped. Stamp gets u back in halftime.

DEBC is good? Need to check it out. I'm on an extended west coast brew kick right now

Deep Ellum suffers from the same mentality of a lot of other craft brewers like Peticolas. The urge to overdo it with high alcohol and/or tons of flavors all the time. Good stuff but I'm not always in the mood for hardcore blast in the face. I prefer Lakewood Brewing or Franconia. Solid, balanced beers.

That is a big deal. Wasn't aware of that. I'm a traditionalist, but there's a lot of good stuff happening stateside. Anchor Steam will always be *the* session brew to me.
