    Am I right in thinking that all Athletic's products are alcohol free? If so, why can't Jalo have a sponsored shirt?

    Cos even alcohol free beers have some alcohol in them still.

    Why have I got a feeling that at only a £1 a can, there's going to be some people buying them for their kids as it's about £1.50 cheaper than a bottle of pop?

    Daft thing is. Soft drink shandy has a trace amount of alcohol. Less than 0.5% in the same as alcohol free beer.
    but is ok for kids to buy.
    I have supped alcohol free beer on occasion if driving since the 80's. (Started driving 86)
    Also Slipped the odd one in between on a session if I.felt the proper stuff going to my head. Trouble is they tended to leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
    There are some good ones on the market now. I Will give this Athletic brand a try if I drop on it.

    It's weird. I took my drink to my seat unchallenged, so it doesn't seem to be covered by the law about alcohol in view of the pitch, but it seems you need to be 18 to buy it!

    wonder if anyone took ale to their seat and said 'it's that alcohol free Atlantic mate'?

    I did mean actual ale, not the alcohol-free stuff. if they're allowing people to go to their seats with the Atlantic, I think they're on pretty shaky ground tbh, as I'm not sure how they'll be able to practically tell the difference.

    You get it in a returnable frosted plastic glass with a colour Atlantic Brewery print.
    Still easy enough to keep your glass and pour alcohol into it and circumvent the rule I guess, if you were that desperate to drink at pitchside and presumably risk ejection/ban if caught.

    Yeah it was the stout I had. I'm not an IPA fan in general and any alcohol free dark beers are something of a rarity, let alone good ones!
