Packers fans drink free beer all game at Wisconsin pub because their team never scored

The Bavarian Bierhaus offers free suds on game days until the home team scores. But in the Sunday match-up against the Ravens, for the first time in 11 years, the team failed to score a single point in the entire game.

Explain how the promotion works when you're showing Green Bay Packers' games?

What happens is that people come to the Bierhaus to watch the Packer game and at kick off we start serving free beer to anybody who would like it ... We serve the first initial free beers and, typically, historically, we've been done serving free beer by the middle of first quarter. Sunday's game didn't work out that way.

But you had a double whammy there, didn't you? First of all, there's free beer for the entire game and there's a pretty good reason to drown your sorrows in a cup of beer.

I have to tell you, Carol, that so many people, when they came back after the half time and in the third quarter, actually apologized for drinking my beer, hoping the Packers would score.

How much free beer did you end up giving away?

Between 275 and 300 cups.
