Our summer beer cooler guy was buying different varieties of Whistler Brew (approx $8 / 6-pack) and charging $2.50. With the exception of our keeper, no one ever raised a stink.

I don't think charging $3 / beer is being that unreasonable.

We charge $3.00 a beer, or will sell a ten beer punch card for $25.00

that way you get the money now, and can buy the beer after, not vice-versa.

Also, we tend to have some pig-schwill (read: Bud/Canadian/Pilsner/Dude/Kokanee) mixed in with nice good stuff (Dead Frog/Whistler/Granville Island/Stella/Stella Light)

3 for $10. Also, when we grill burgers, we charge it out as a beer. If it wasn't for those cheap scroats who stiff the kitty, we might have enough to buy scotch for the celebratory key wins.

No, but it is damn nice to look at.

Frank: our beer guy usually charges at cost for premium beer, and runs me a nice tab he forgives at the end of each season.

Thanks in advance.

I heard the new beer guy can be a real cnut if you don't pay.By the way each player must bring a case of beer to start the beer fund on it's way.It is also a fact any player caught providing his own beer must wear your game jersey after each game until the next poacher is caught!

One case of Wildcat, coming up.

And, the first time Kelly poaches, I'll gladly volunteer my ball gravy soaked shorts for his new hat.

3 bucks is fair. consider the rising fuel costs.

RCIU Masters keep it simple............minimum purchase of 10 beer for $20 bucks.......no change no credit............and the cooler never goes home with anything in it.

Not too sure what the winter cost for wings, ribs, sausage and a bun will be..........Kippax might know though:P

Every week two guys are responsible for bringing a 15 pack. You go by number and work your way through the team. I wear #99 and then quit the team as we near the end of the season.

Make sure you have some Dead Frog for when I'm refereeing your games. That is real good ! Russell Cream Ale would also be nice.
