Update from DL on Club beverage changes
Delta Sky Clubs are changing the selection of both complimentary and for-purchase premium alcoholic beverages beginning tomorrow. Complimentary well-known alcohol brands will still be provided at the Club just as they have been.
Altering our complimentary offerings will enable us to expand our portfolio of premium for-purchase products and maintain complimentary spirits, beer and wine as we continue to invest in the overall Club experience. We review our Club offerings periodically so that we are able to make changes based on customer feedback, financial considerations and other factors including the variety of options we offer our members.
The new offerings are comparable to house/well brands in other airport lounges.
Other brands will be available through our for-purchase options available through our Luxury Bar. Our goal is to offer members quality products and services at reasonable prices that are competitive with other airport lounges while continuing to provide good value for membership.

Thanks, DLCorpGuy. I appeciate the acknowledgement but I feel bad that you had to come up with a spin for this one. Good attempt.
One correction and one question:
1) Jack Daniel's is NOT bourbon.
2) No Bailey's?

Additionally, what customer feedback have you actually responded to with changes to the club? Were patrons tired of the computer workstations so you removed them? People complained about not paying for a reasonable glass of beer? It was too darned quiet in the clubs, so please sell groupons to kettles? Oh, and also - the club doesn't cost enough - please charge me more.

Does this mean no more free local beers in the SkyClubs? I always enjoyed Sweetwater 420 in ATL, the IPA in DTW, the OBC amber in MCO, the Ballast Point in SAN, and the good local ones I can't remember the name of in SLC. That will be a big disappointment if those go away.

What on earth is that?!??!
Even if DL were to pay me to drink the stuff I would stay away.
Oh well... so much for my Sky Club membership experiment... I think it will be back to the airport bars after my year's done...

Don't worry - you'll get to pay for your beer (other than Bud and Miller Lite) now too! Congrats!
