The Bavarian Bierhaus restaurant and brewery in Glendale, Wisconsin (128 miles to the Dells) offers a special during Green Bay Packers games: free beer until the team scores.
Last Sunday, that promotion backfired, as the Packers were shut out at home for the first time since 2006, by the Baltimore Ravens.
General Manager Scott Bell estimated that about 200 people were packed into his establishment during the game, and that he and his staff served between 275-300 cups of free beer. That math doesn’t seem right to us–that would seem like a total for each half, if not quarter.
“Wisconsinites and Packers fans are at least somewhat responsible,” Bell said, which makes me wonder if he was possibly having one or two free beers himself.
He also added that the brewery doesn’t plan on cancelling the promotion, as he believes that the Packers will get things going again. Hopefully the business can survive until Aaron Rodgers comes back–next up, the Packers play in Pittsburgh, against a Steelers team that is 2nd in the NFL in fewest points allowed.
