Fans Outraged: Beer Poured Out at Optus
26 Mar
Summary
- Staff poured out full beers due to slight overfilling.
- Fans report multiple instances of beer being discarded.
- New policy for full-strength beer in plastic cups.

Supporters attending AFL matches at Perth's Optus Stadium have voiced their anger following an unusual incident involving beer service. Staff at the $1.6 billion venue were reportedly pouring out full beers from cups, claiming they contained 'too much beer.' This occurred because the beverages were filled above a designated line on the plastic cups.
This situation arose during the recent Fremantle vs. Demons match, which marked the stadium's first time serving full-strength beer in general public areas. Additionally, it was the debut of recyclable plastic cups, replacing previous paper ones. Several fans confirmed Phil's experience, stating they witnessed or experienced similar issues with their drinks being discarded.
Online comments revealed widespread discontent, with fans describing the situation as 'nanny state' behavior and expressing disbelief at the wastage. The incidents suggest initial challenges in implementing the new beer service policy at the stadium, leading to considerable fan dissatisfaction and debate.
