Beer Trucks on the DFW Tarmac
 

While waiting to depart on a flight out of gate C31 just after noon today at DFW, I saw two, full-size beer delivery trucks driving around. First a white Coors Light truck, then a blue Bud Light truck a few minutes later. These weren't the single-chassis delivery trucks that deliver beer to your local convenience store; they had separate tractors but the trailers still had the multiple doors on the sides. (like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/formerwmdriver/4369305514/ )

I've flown through DFW hundreds of times and seen all kinds of vehicles, but never one, much less two, of these trucks tooling around _on_ the tarmac.

Is this how they have to cater Int'l flights now that beer is once again complimentary in Coach?????

(Mods, please move this thread if there's a better/more appropriate home for it.)

Looking for Steven Slater? :D

Oh wait, no B6 at DFW. :)

how many question marks do you use for urgent questions?

just playin - they are stocking up with the glorious protection of the BK :cool:

I need to find the pic but one beer truck on the ramp sighting led to inadvertent comedy. Around pushback time, the Captain announced a delayed due to the lavatory tanks being full. He said a lav service truck was on the way and would be there monetarily. As he finished the message, a Coors Light truck pulls up next to the plane. I remarked openly that the stuff going into the toilet tanks should be better than what was coming out. Got a few chuckles.

Is that when the truck would appear in your budgetary spreadsheet?

Not related, BUT the pictured truck is exactly what delivers to all the local C-Stores in Brevard, Fl.

Perhaps they are getting ready for the next Megado???

Stocking up the ACs?

I can't answer the question, but I can confirm the sighting of the blue truck tooling around Terminal B when my flight from ABQ pulled into D27 shortly before noon. Remember thinking it was a bit odd...

You do realize that local breweries/distributors cater/stock the restaurants/bars in airports don't you?:confused::confused:

Distributers only here in Texas.

Too bad they didnt actually have good beer.

A common sight on the DFW tarmac.

The distributors for the three major breweries also distribute most of the "good beer."

But aren't all the DFW airport restaurants/bars/shops operated by HMS Host under licensing/franchisee agreements? I didn't think any actual brand-name restaurants operated their own facilities at DFW. (maybe Cantina Laredo is the exception because it's local?)

Catering would all be Sysco or similar industrial foodservice corporations, right?
