Yeah got there 2.30 hoping to have one and they'd sold out, looks like loads of people had gone for it though.

Got there at 2 and got a pint in. It's not my usual sort of tipple (bit darker than I normally go), but it was a fukton better than the piss they serve inside. And I think cheaper.

I didn't count the barrels, but there must have been at least half a dozen. That's got to be a couple of hundred pints minimum.

Saw Gooding persuaded to get into some publicity shots. Still looking trim. He could teach our midfield a few things still I reckon.

432 pints sold out by 2.15 ish. Think we can put this down as a resounding success.

Did it improve the atmosphere at the ground, you know, with everyone being a bit squiffy?

I knew it would run out, put something on decent and people will buy it.

All I can report is that it ran out at 2.30 or perhaps earlier? Someone with a pint in hand told me it was pretty good


Got there in plenty of time to try it and it was very good! Too good in fact, went down far too easy! Could be dangerous.

Also used my voucher so a bargain at £3 compared to £4? for the coloured water inside!

Were the vouchers just valid for the Yeovil game?

The beer was great - thank you RFC and West Berks brewery for finally providing an alternative to the awful bitter within the stadium.

My mates and I enjoyed several pints each before it run out at approx 2.30pm. It might have lasted longer if it'd been raining though. They might need a bigger marquee if the forecast isn't so good for the next couple of games.

Also might need to consider a portaloo/toilet access as I can imagine there will be fans tempted to relieve themselves outside the stadium to carry on drinking and this might upset some people. Season tickets can use the Jazz cafe of course.

Finally, it was nice to mix in with the away fans and this made for a pleasant atmosphere outside the stadium. Long may it continue..

I honestly think this is the best thing the club has ever done. I might even have to go to a match soon.

You can't beat the Bundesliga. Sitting in your seat supping a nice beer and having a few more stocked up for the rest of the game.

Right outside Jazz Café. White marque sort of tent effort.

Given its popularity against Yeovil, I would hope/expect that the ale won't run out quite so quickly for the next two games.

I'd imagine the exact reverse unless they can raise the 1000 pint limit imposed on them.

Fingers crossed. They could provide valuable support to the heaving internal bars in the concourse at HT.

I didn't spot a white tent outside the Jazz cafe, admittedly it was gone 2:40pm. Could they have packed up and left already?

Found the beer tent today and made the most of a pre match beer or two.

Added to a half time pint or two, quite sad to see the lack of half timers flocking to wbbrew,
