Miller gone, bring on the Bud and Heineken!

[flyingcat]

US Airways has decided to go with Anheuser-Busch’s Budweiser brand for its onboard beer, included in this is Heineken beer, Budweiser, and Bud Light. Miller will continue to be distributed until the inventory is gone.

The new beer will be onboard staring March 1.

While I have nothing against the decision that the company made on this, it's interesting (and cool) that you posted the Iron City/Steelers poster.

I have always thought it would be a good and economical differentiator for an airline to feature different, regional beers, perhaps from their hub cities, in addition to a national deal. I'm sure limited exceptions could be made to exclusivity clauses in the national deal. I would imagine the smaller breweries would welcome the exposure and perhaps the states where these beers come from could even offer some incentives to the airline or the brewery for the deal (allowing the airline and the brewery to reduce the cost of the deal).

I would imagine a lot of customers in F/C would welcome the opportunity to try a brew they haven't had before. It may also spur more beer sales in coach. Though that has its plusses and minuses!

Again, nothing wrong with the choice they made, but it would be nice to see this type of inexpensive creativity take hold in this and other customer service decisions.

Cool!! I actually have a complete collection of most of the commemerative cans from the "Stiller" legacy days..After the last few weeks, I'm sure I'll be working on a "new" collection...

BTW....Iron City is not that good of a beer But, it is a Burgh thing!!

Ripple???

Microbrews is an awesome idea. I don't drink beer on a flight because as soon as my bladder fills we hit turbulence and the plain jiggles like crazy. There is a definite cause(-)effect relationship between the amount of fluid in my bladder and the amount of turbulence in a plane.

Ripple???

Same vineyard as Mad Dog and Wild Irish Rose.

I thought that Fred mixed Champale, not champagne, to make Champipple, but I may be mistaken. 😀

Here's my favorite Champale ad: http://www.gono.com/beermagazineads/champale/c17.jpg
