Nah not really. If you're going to host the World Cup you know that you have to cater for the visiting fans, the majority of whom are from countries where alcohol is no big deal. Qatar knew this, agreed to make some concessions to allow the sale of beer ... and then reversed. To be honest it's a clever move to do this at last minute because it's not like FIFA are going to halt it.
I don't personally care what they do, I'll be watching in a Czech pub, drinking beer that's orders of magnitude better than Budweiser (likely Polička or Pilsner Urquell) and cheaper too ($12 @ World Cup vs ~$2.10-2.50) :)
- hinoki 4y agoYou don’t like Budweiser? It’s not a bad beer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_Budvar_Brewery https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_Budvar_Brewery
- smcl 4y agoHa, yeah I don't mind Budvar but there aren't too many pubs in my part of the country that sell it on tap (there's one ~10 mins walk from me but I'd have to walk past about 4 better pubs to get there). And by now "Budweiser" pretty universally refers to the American beer. I should stress that I actually don't mind those US style "lite beers" - there's a time and a place for them. But that is not in Czech Republic in winter :)
