BEvERages....

From the Baton Rouge biz report...


Big game brewing: Though he doesn't offer a prediction on who will win Saturday's showdown between the No. 2 LSU Tigers and the No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers, Charleston Daily Mail Sports Editor Jack Bogaczyk does have some other interesting numbers in his column this week. "Through two games, Mountaineer Field vendors have gone through 38,750 bottles of beer and 22 kegs with beer priced from $7-9," he writes, "producing a beer sales gross of $281,453." Bogaczyk goes on to note 12,000 fewer bottles of water have been sold through West Virginia's first two games. West Virginia's is one of very few college sports stadiums to allow beer sales.

When asked earlier this week if he'd like to see beer served in Tiger Stadium, coach Les Miles said he would "enjoy playing in front of a Tiger Stadium that occasionally had a beer."
