NHL weird eats: Buffalo's 'Beer Sabre' and Sharks' 'Chum Bucket' lead the way for league's newest concession options
"They say there's no bad way to drink beer, but the Buffalo Sabres may have found one. X user @plantyaf_716 posted a photo of the "Beer Sabre" soon to be served at Buffalo's KeyBank Center. It's precisely what you'd expect: a plastic sword-shaped vessel filled with Labatt's new Blue & Blonde Ale, the team's official beer sponsor. While the team is placing a lot of trust in attendees to not swashbuckle or impale one another in the stands,"
"Sabres fans can also use their new souvenir to wash down a two-foot chicken parm sandwich, which the team is offering this season. The "Big Parm Thompson" puts Subway to shame and is inspired by centerman Tage Thompson's actual pre-game meal, per the team. Introducing 'The Big Parm Thompson' A TWO FOOT chicken parm sandwich in honor of Tage's pregame meal! Get it at @KeyBankCtr this season 🤩 - Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) October 6, 2025"
Multiple NHL franchises introduced eccentric, team-themed concessions for the 2025-26 season to entice in-person attendance. The Buffalo Sabres will sell a "Beer Sabre," a plastic sword-shaped cup filled with Labatt's Blue & Blonde Ale, and a two-foot "Big Parm Thompson" chicken parm sandwich inspired by centerman Tage Thompson's pregame meal. The Sabres also unveiled the "Tage Hero," an Italian-style sandwich with salami, pepperoni, ham, capicola, provolone, mozzarella, red wine vinegar, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The trend follows past specialty stadium offerings and aims to create memorable, on-brand fan experiences.
