The Craft Brewing Business article reports on a collaboration between Bud Light and the Cleveland Browns to have "Victory Fridges," promoting the Cleveland Browns and containing Bud Light beer, installed in bars across Cleveland. People are asking, "how is this legal?" Rob was quoted, "Generally giving away beer as a prize or as part of a promotion is not allowed in most states.
