A dedicated bar will sell the beers on the western concourse.

The bar will be stocked with locally owned and manufactured beer only.

The bar will open this Sunday with brewskies from the Steel City Beer Company, which is co-owned by former Knights champions and Novocastrians Andrew Johns, Matthew Johns, Danny Buderus, Kurt Gidley and Matt Hoy.

Steel City co-owner and Knights assistant coach Andrew Johns said the company's lager would be flowing freely for fans for the next three Knights home games.

"McDonald Jones Stadium is a special place and has been the centrepiece of the Hunter community since the 1970s," Johns said.

He said it was great to see the stadium supporting local businesses with the new bar.

"I look forward to rewarding myself with a Steel City at Sunday's game."

McDonald Jones Stadium venue manager Dean Mantle said the bar was a boost for "all Knights fans".

"We're extremely proud of the feature bar initiative that continues to assist local suppliers and businesses," he said.

"We are steadfast in continuing to not only support local, but showcase the wonderful products available out of the Hunter."

Venues NSW worked with "pourage partner" Lion on the project.

The bar will sell beer from local brewers all season.

This follows Modus Operandi beer - which has a Merewether brewery - being available at Newcastle Jets fixtures.

About 50 per cent of all food, beverages and suppliers at McDonald Jones Stadium are locally sourced and based, Venues NSW said. This includes fresh produce, meat, fish, wine and "good old fashioned Thompson's Pies", a Newcastle company that has operated since 1891.

"Fans can be assured they're supporting local."

The British Royal Family are a privileged bunch, leading a life of opulence.

But how would they go if they had to survive in today's job market and rely on their university degrees?

To find out, the folks at WellBox kindly compiled the potential earnings of several royals based on their university degrees.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, who has a master's degree in geography, is qualified for roles such as a commercial surveyor or environmental consultant. He could earn about $89,000 - $205,000 a year.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has an arts degree in theatre and international relations.

She could get a job as an international aid worker or theatre stage manager, earning $55,000 - $89,000 a year.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has a master's degree in art history.

She could get a job as an arts heritage manager or arts administrator, earning $54,000 - $125,000 a year.

Charles, Prince of Wales, has a master's degree in history, archaeology and anthropology. He could get work as an archaeologist or community development worker, earning $39,000 - $73,000 a year.

There was no word on what kind of work Harry, Duchess of Sussex, would get without his royal background. We reckon he'd make a good house husband, though.

Bit harsh that, innit. But funny nonetheless.
