Pub Gives Away 300 Pints After Football Promotion Backfires

A UK pub’s offer to give patrons a free pint for every goal Nottingham Forest scored against Brighton backfired when they scored seven goals, giving away more than 300 beverages.

Beccy Webster, who runs the Gedling Inn in Nottinghamshire, in central England, served 300 pints of beer worth £1500 ($3000) when Nottingham Forest beat Brighton last Saturday.

"It's been overwhelming - but it's been lovely to have something good come from what looks like a loss," Webster said.
