A German brewery recently distributed 690 complimentary gallons of beer to the public, as it remains unable to deliver the booze to hotel and restaurant clients amid the coronavirus pandemic.

SALES UP FOR CHEAP BEER DURING QUARANTINE, DATA SHOWS
Owner Franz Mast explained that he needed to clear out the brewery’s tanks to make room for fresh beer for whenever bars can reopen again.

“We also want to thank people, and we hope they are as supportive once we reopen, that they come here, recommend us,” Mast told Reuters Television of the freebie promotion.

Willinger’s had initially planned to distribute 142 gallons of beer, but thirsty customers drained the stock within hours.
