QPR should brew its own beer at the stadium. It can be done relatively easily these days and doesn't need a massive amount of space or equipment. Loads of people are doing it and I'm sure there'd be a good few QPR fans that brew beer. One of my sons and his mates regularly brew pretty decent stouts, IPAs, bitters etc. and they're far superior to the tasteless fizzy slop that companies like Carlesburg churn out.

It could make the club some money and would certainly please the many ale drinking supporters like myself!


And it would be good to reuse the old communal bath for something good for a change.

The club is "seeking additional options from the Carlsberg portfolio".

Have crueler words ever been spoken?

I'd like to see the club do a deal with a local brewery/breweries instead of international fizzy piss megacorp and serve it in biodegradable containers.

Not holding my breath.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Beer served from plastics, recyclable or not, is a travesty and should only be consumed out of pure desperation.

I'm at The Kings Tonne in Kingston and half their draught beer is unavailable. Seriousness

More to it than just Brexit.

So the fact that they have made no effort to use recycled plastic for the past 30 years is coming home to roost.

PET is actually one of the easier plastics to recycle, but recycled plastic can’t be used in direct contact with food or drink, there always has to be a layer of “virgin” plastic in contact with the comestible. To suggest there has been “no effort” is not correct.

In practice, most collected PET is used for non-food use such as building materials if it isn’t burned for waste to energy. Recycling is quite primitive and it’s generally too contaminated to be recovered for food use (though this will change as the price of new resin goes up).

Come off it, companies have always found it cheaper to just use virgin plastic. Hence "recycled" plastic has been shipped off en masse to the Far East. Companies like Coca-Cola have made promises for years about using a certain amount of recycled plastic in their products but never got even close to fulfilling their promises. Why? Because all they care about is profit. The idea that the corporate food industry has paid anything but lip service to this until about five years ago is crazy.
So, while people say "we're trying" when they aren't, in 30 years there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish.
Oddly, Sky News have been very good at trying to make companies do something. Because unless they are pressured, they won't do anything.
Meanwhile, companies like Ineos bring tankers of petrol to their shiny new Scottish plant to turn into ever more virgin plastic.
John Oliver did a good piece on it on Last Week Tonight. I think this is it.

My local club , Southend Utd, have a collabration with local brewers Leigh on sea Brewery.

They manage to knock out a limited range at the ground, not cheap though, around £4/£5 a 440ml cal. The Pier Train pilsner is food of the gods. The brewery tap room is ten minutes from my front door. Magic.

Perhaps it's easier for a club to have this collabration/ operation when you have smaller home crowds, i don't know.

relegation = better beer.
That IS a conundrum
