After the Qatari royal family bypassed FIFA and unexpectedly banned alcohol a few days before the soccer World Cup, the fans, in addition to the main sponsor Budweiser, became very annoyed. In the VIP section, you could finally get the juice, albeit at a golden price.

Beer for 5,500 HUF

“It was really easy to move through the festival village, and despite the fact that alcohol is prohibited in Qatar by default, the beer measurement went amazingly fast. We had to stand in a long, snaking line in order to be seated at one of the two, approximately 50-meter-long counters. In five minutes, we were there, and then the waiters, who were dictating an insane pace, put the beer in front of us that we surely deserved because of our performance tour. It was a completely nerve-wracking thing that they and their assistants did: they filled the pints from the cans at an industrial speed, which is a better pull than with the tap to be clumsy.”

– a Telex employee reported in a recent article.

“A pint of Budweiser, unfortunately not the Czech type, cost 50 Qatari riyals, i.e. HUF 5,500, and the rule of thumb is that one person only bought a maximum of four. Many people interpreted this as meaning that they had decided to have all four, why should they stand in line twice. The ” “They’re watering down the festival beer” couldn’t even come up now, because they were drinking from cans, but after sipping the sweet World Cup beer, I realized that it has barely recognizable alcohol”
