I’ve been enjoying vedett recently and think that would be popular but at 5.2% It seems strong for a concourse lager (normally fosters/carlsburg/carling)
Forget all the craft beers and exotic beers they just need to choose two lagers and an ale served in 500ml Plastic bottles with plastic pint glasses available for those who want to pour rather than drink from bottle.
No waiting around as the work experience guy tries to get rid of half a pint of foamy head as they don’t know how to pour. No waiting for their turn to get to the taps just grab the bottle and hand over.
To cater for the masses would just suggest the most popular options which they could easily source and sell.
Carlsberg/Carling/Stella (any two of three) Doom Bar / Greene King IPA Strongbow
It’s not rocket science, people are there for football not a craft ale drinking experience.
Incidentally, Meantime are owned by Asahi, so I guess we could have Asahi lager and Meantime ale and stout if we were going down that route. Meantime Lager is 6/10, Asahi is 8/10, in my humble opinion.
Fair amount of bias from me, as I work for Meantime but in 5 years of experience selling London Lager I’ve yet to find another lager than crosses the spectrum better than it. It’s acceptable to craft beer drinkers, as it’s got genuine hop profile and picks up some esters on the German yeast, but at the same time it’s well liked by drinkers of bog standard lager as it has enough of the dry and crisp body (with a hit of malt flavours). I reckon it would go down a treat at The Valley
Sadly our Stout isn’t brewed anymore I should add, though I am always working on trying to get it back!

Bet that's a dream job. I'd do it for nothin & if I had to " get under the table" at the interview, I wouldn't say no.
