WVUFootball29 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I pay enough for beer as it is...no need to pay more to get it from fourbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It'd be great if they decided to go with craft beers only. Would be cool to get them more mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Sounds like a great idea. I'm never against having another outlet for beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Considering the price, I thought they already had the Stadium concessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I don't see a big problem, at least for me. I only go to Starbucks when there isn't a reasonable alternative nearby. If it also offered beer and wine (and interesting beer and wine would be a plus) I consider that a bonus. It wouldn't take my business from local joints, but would be nice to have when stuck in some Podunk suburbia and have a thirst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 This sounds like a step in the right direction. Now if they can only get rid of the ****ty coffee I might go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I thought I was the only one that thinks their coffee sucks. I'd like to take a coffee tour of Seattle to see what it's really supposed to taste like...

The Dean Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Dutchbros is better! In San Francisco, I was a fan of Peet's coffee (for a chain). Of course, like Seattle there are many good independent coffee shops as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 What do you think they will charge, 21.50 per glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 What do you think they will charge, 21.50 per glass? Sounds about right for a Tall Merlot. Unless you are in the mood for a Grande. I wonder if they will serve the wine in a paper cup the shape of a wine glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 In San Francisco, I was a fan of Peet's coffee (for a chain). Of course, like Seattle there are many good independent coffee shops as well. The new hot coffee chain in SF now is Blue Bottle. Never had it, never will. I'm not a big coffee drinker (only one cup at home in the morning) but even if I were I'm a major contrarian. I would never wait in line 20 minutes (huge lines for this place at the Ferry Building during the farmer's market) for a cup of coffee. That's exactly what I'm talking about with my signature line.
