Re: fundraising and beer companies
I have had the same dilemma here in Milwaukee. We have Miller Brewery right here, but is it right to go after them for sponsorship? They do sell more than just beer (their root beer is great....too bad its not available around here  ), but the beer is what they are known for.
On the other hand, there is the Sprecher Brewery that also does both beer and root beer (and some other types of soda). Some people know them for one while others know them for the other. I didn't know they did beer until recently...I thought the root beer was it.
Either way, I'm not sure what the school policies are around here and I've never looked into it. Even though the 1064 team's motto was BREW (Better Robots Engineering Wisely) we never even discussed getting a brewery as a sponsor.
Its one issue that I'd rather just not touch.
