There will be a mix of Michigan brews and national beers in bottles and on tap, as well as wine and spirits throughout booths at Michigan Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 2, when Manchester United and Real Madrid face off at the Big House.

State officials confirmed Monday that Sodexo Management – the company that handles concessions at Michigan Stadium – was approved for a Class C license, which is good from July 29 to Aug. 3.

Eric Kendig, the president of Arbor Beverage, said his company is the county's distributor of Guinness – the corporate sponsor of the International Champion's Cup – and will provide most of the beer.

Aside from Guinness, Kendig's company will provide the following beers for general sale: Harp, Smithwick's, Ann Arbor-based Wolverine Gulo Gulo Indian Pale Lager, Modelo, Red Stripe, Coors Light and Miller. They will also provide 15 different kinds of wine and Smirnoff Ice Screwdrivers.

The price tag that will come along with scoring a beer at the Big House will be $9 or $10 for the most part, depending on the beverage.

Club and suite levels will also have Singha – a Thai beer that acts as a sponsor for Manchester United – and Parrot Bay Margaritas.

"In addition to all that, we're going to have three Guinness gig rigs set up inside the stadium which are essentially 18-wheelers with 24 taps each," Kendig said. "And hawkers will be selling bottles and cans of Guinness and the Smirnoff Ice Screwdrivers in the stadium."

Each truck has about 100 kegs, a Sodexo employee said.

Rave Associates Inc., a beer and wine distributor in Ann Arbor, will be handling the delivery of Michigan beers, which will include beer from Kalamazoo-based Bell's Brewery and some from Grand Rapids-based Founders Brewing Co.

"We will be serving...Bell's Oberon, Two-Hearted Ale, and Founders All Day IPA. It's going to be the same situation as it was for the Winter Classic," said Rick Lack, vice president of operations at Rave.

"Sodexo wanted to have local beer present (and) they realize that Rave Associates specializes in Michigan beer."

Jon Collier, the general manager for Sodexo, said he feels that people wanted a different mix of beverages to choose from and his company learned after providing alcoholic beverages during the Winter Classic.

In addition to the other alcohol listed, Ferndale-based Valentine's Vodka will also offer craft cocktails at booths throughout the stadium.

Collier said that since the company is providing alcohol, it's also doing a lot to make sure the venue remains safe for everyone in attendance.

"With the help of the Guinness folks we do have four designated driver locations where we will be having prizes and offering non-alcohol beverages for people who sign up," he said.

"We'll have seven different locations for free water and added water filling stations around the venue. We take very seriously that our job is to add to this event and do it responsibly."

While one of the three rigs was delivered to the stadium Tuesday afternoon, the bulk of the alcohol is expected to arrive at the stadium Saturday morning, and alcohol will not be sold at the Friday training sessions that will also take place at Michigan Stadium.

Collier said there would be 44 total stands selling beer and alcohol.

"As big as the stadium is you have to have things in quadrants so they don't have to walk too far," he said. "Events like this are kind of a fun thing for the area in general from an excitement standpoint, and we have to make sure this one is similar and that people are safe and responsible in doing so."
