A Pub with No Beer, A Social Experiment [VIDEO]

What happens when a pub turns off the taps and goes straight cocktails? That’s the topic of this video from Australia. Billed as a social experiment, drink manufacturer Schweppes was involved. The series of videos is called “The Cocktail Revolution” meant to see the reaction to the lack of beer, and introduction to cocktails. Actually fairly humorous.

GABF Ticket Sales. What Would You Do Differently?

gabfmedia_11-600x422

The Great American Beer Festival responds to complaints about a growing secondary market (scalpers, etc) for tickets to the Denver, Colorado event. It took just 20 minutes to sell out off all 79,000 plus tickets this year.

Hi Everyone. We’re reading your comments, and we hear your frustration about scalpers and the secondary market. We share those concerns and wish there was a feasible fix. Unfortunately, there’s no perfect way to successfully avoid a secondary market for hot tickets–whether for popular concerts, sporting events or festivals like the GABF.

There are measures in place to decrease access for scalpers, including ticket limits we set for GABF ticket purchases (enforced by Ticketmaster), and Ticketmaster’s anti-bot and other security measures. Does this prevent scalper access? No, but it does decrease it. We will continue to evaluate options and solutions going forward.

What about you? How would you handle folks who purchase tickets solely for the resale value? Many individuals were locked out of the opportunity to purchase tickets, seconds after logging on. Re-sellers are asking up to 5x the original face value. A few instances, these tickets were posted within an hour of the link going live.

Sound off. What would you change?

Beer Street Journal Video: Introducing Three Taverns Brewery

Three Taverns Brewery is brand new to the brewing scene in Georgia. The Decatur-based brewery officially launched on July 19th. Brian Purcell’s dream for the last eight years is now a reality.

Three Taverns launches with two beers: Single Intent (Belgian Singel) and A Night in Brussels (Belgian IPA). Both are draft offerings right now, with bottle offerings arriving soon. Three Taverns will brew primarily Belgian-style beers. Beer Street Journal interviewed Brian at the (hot!) launch party at Brick Store Pub.
