WTF? A Victory Celebration In Germany WITHOUT BEER?

[Bruce]

Karlsruhe SC announced that Saturday's game against Hansa Rostock has been declared "high risk" by the German FA (DFB)

Because of the violent nature of Hansa fans, among the most violent in Germany, strict security measures will be taken. There will be a heavy presence of riot police, and no beer will be sold at the stadium.

Also, with a promotion celebration likely, the road leading into Karlsruhe's stadium will be closed by police before the end of the game to prevent people crashing the gates to join the celebration. Karlsruhe SC said Wednesday that only a few hundred tickets remain, and a capacity crowd of 28,000 is expected.

German federal police staged a raid in four states targeting the most violent of Hansa Rostock hooligans earlier this week, and made an unspecified number of arrests.

Without beer huh? Sounds like these fans need to improvise. I won't bother telling you what we would do instead in Jamaica.
