What Busweiser plans to do with beer from the World Cup

(CNN) – Qatar’s last-minute decision to ban alcohol at World Cup stadiums left Budweiser with a whole lot of extra beer.

But the brewer came up with an innovative way to offload it.

Budweiser tweeted it will ship the unsold beers to the winning country and will host the ultimate championship celebration for them.

Budweiser’s dilemma began last week, just a few days before the World Cup was set to begin, when Qatar announced the eight World Cup stadiums couldn’t sell alcoholic Budweiser.

It left fans with only one option for beer: non-alcoholic Bud Zero.

Qatar is a Muslim nation that tightly regulates alcohol sales and usage.

The World Cup runs through Dec. 18, so time will tell who will get to see the winnings.
