The comments in the article are funny. I wonder what kind of beer it was.

Sounds like a fair trade, as long as it's good beer and meat.

I love the "... and 100 cases of beer".

Really kind of puts a bow on the whole thing, doesn't it?

Just saw an update on this story on CNN.

Apparently the beer/meat wasn't meant for payment, but was supposed to be used at the party after the wedding. Also included in the deal, some gatorade and I believe some wine.

100 cases of beer, you can't beat that offer. Might last him a week and a couple days, but still, great deal, better than ebay!
