beer fact of the day

Craft Beer Locator Beer Fact of the Day:

Wiki estimates 1,500 gallons of beer is consumed during a major league baseball game. Multiple that by 2,430 games each year and you’ve poured 3,645,000 gallons of beer. This does not count playoffs or World Series or beer consumption at home from fans watching the game on TV.

i wonder how much gets poured at bc lions games…  hopefully more this week than last when they add more taps at empire stadium to feed the thirsty football masses!!
