Redskins caught selling "expired" beer...

Mike in St. Louis : 9/26/2014 1:43 pm
I don't get caught up in the "born on" dating thing for beer but I know a lot of people do, especially those who work for the beer companies...

looks like Danny Boy was trying to make a few extra bucks last night by selling beer left over from the World Cup...

"And so Washington’s defense wasn’t the only thing stale at FedEx Field on Thursday night. How many ways did the Redskins get skunked against the Giants? I mean, that was a flat performance, from the field to the fridge. The era of good feelings is rapidly reaching its expiration date. Etc. Etc."


"Also, at least there is no history of selling outdated concessions at FedEx Field. I mean, besides that time when the Redskins were selling peanuts from an airline that had gone out of business.)"

making the Knicks look good since 2000. Thanks Washington.
How does that work?

Do they lease out the concessions to a third party or run it in house as part of the Redskins organization?
haha  
Les in TO : 9/26/2014 1:54 pm : link
so not only did we demolish the skins in their house, a good chunk of their fans may have gut rot today from drinking stale beer (or at least had an unpleasant experience drinking it last night). the only thing that could have made last night better was peyton hillis accidentally running into dan synder on the sidelines.
It's not the Redskins selling it

They have a contract with a company to provide food services at the stadium, same as the Giants and every other team does.
Should have been suspicious

I'm sure they spared no expense hiring a reputable organization that would beer at those markups nearly three months past it's date.
LOL

did they import beer from Brazil and still mark it up enough to make money?

I'd think the import fees would make it less profitable, even for expired beer, which I usually save until it's my time to bring beer to our hockey games.

no one ever checks the born-on-date, lucky for me.
This isn't a one time deal...

Snyder's first foray into this was when he sold peanuts to fans that were originally packaged for Independence Air.

By the time the peanuts were sold to the crowd, the airline had not been in existence for 2 years.
And that's how you become

Stop the joking

this is BEER we're talking about ...
so what if it's old ... lost flavor ... it's still BEER ...
now that they're caught ... rather than giving it away for free to worthy beer drinkers ... they will dispose of it ...
The beer will go down some sewer ... BLEEP ... What a waste ...

That thought alone will ruin the weekend for me ...
It's Budweiser  
mamu : 9/26/2014 3:14 pm : link
so did anyone really notice? Or care?
It all ends up in the sewer  
Jim in Fairfax : 9/26/2014 3:17 pm : link
There's just the matter of the route it takes.
lol I love it

The first step is admitting you have a problem...
Fresh beer  
JoeCabbie : 9/26/2014 5:07 pm : link
is the dumbest thing ever. Alcohol should be aged. That costs money so American beer companies pump their beer with chemicals and insist you drink it cold so you can't taste how crappy it is. Do yourself a favor if you've never had warm beer. Buy some of the beer made naturally by the Belgian monks, let it sit in a dark place at room temperature for 3 or 4 months, then drink it warm. You'll be amazed at what beer is supposed to taste like. It's delicious.

No matter what you do to a Budweiser, it will always taste like monkey piss. I laugh (to myself) whenever I see people actually pay for it.
those dirty savages!!
