Rasta Vechta: With its own beer to basketball fever!

In Vechta there is reason to be happy! The Rasta Vechta basketball club is enjoying an excellent season in the EasyCredit Basketball Bundesliga and surprisingly set itself in sixth place in the play-off ranks. After four victories in a row, they present themselves strongly, even if they do not want to see their coach Martin Schiller as favorites before the upcoming North derby against the Veolia Towers Hamburg. Nevertheless, as a entertainment factor at the forefront: the club sponsor has founded a private brewery with his son and is now brewing its own beer with "Rasta Helles". The team celebrated this premiere with a victory over the Telekom Baskets Bonn, which fueled the mood in the Rasta Dome, As Sport Bild reports.
