The Athletic Wants To Buy Subscribers A Beer
 

Received this email from The Athletic today. Kind of a cool business model. Fugging ESPN never offered to hook up for a brew.

You're Invited: Arizona Subscriber Meetup

If you like reading and listening to everything our Athletic Arizona staff has to offer, you'll love meeting them for a beer. Tomorrow, you can join fellow sports fans at a subscribers-only meetup in downtown Phoenix. Details are below — we hope to see you there!
.

WHO: The Athletic Arizona managing editor Jay Dieffenbach, writers Gina Mizell, Scott Bordow, Zach Buchanan, Doug Haller, CJ Holmes, Alexis Mansanarez, Craig Morgan and Bob Young, and YOU.

WHERE: Majerle's downtown Phoenix, 24 N. 2nd Street.

WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 21, 4:30 p.m.

WHY: The first couple-dozen (at least) receive a beer! First round on us!

Couple dozen. Heh

Cheap asses can’t afford a 30 pack?

Thats ****ing cool. Subbing to The Athletic was the best $24 I spent in the past year.

Pretty cool if you ask me.

I really hope they continue to grow so they can stay viable. It's a refuge in a sea of bullshit sports sites.

Majerle's is a dump! Several of them owned by former Sun Dan Majerle and they are dirty and serve shit food.

They are probably going to buy the first 6 losers a pitcher of flat draft Bud beer to share.

There isn't enough beer to make me go to downtown Phoenix

Desperation. Maybe pay to read the tripe?

The Athletic is great. People should respect them and what they are doing and not steal their content.

Was gonna say you and Dave would probably drink them out before anyone else got any

A local outfit in the same vein as The Athletic (DNVR Sports) has watch parties with free beer a lot. The beer is sponsored (Breckenridge Brewery, which is owned by AB), but still - I always wonder how they can afford that as a small startup.

eDave and I have some class, we only go to stuck up places here in the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Phoenix area. :LOL:

I mean, there are lots of more upscale places but a dump? Not really that I've noticed.

That place is freaking empty.... geez. It must really be a dump.
