This is mighty clever for an ad campagin, via:
To promote its beer in Europe, and help its fellow citizens be proud of where they come from, beer brand Molson Canadian teamed up with ad agency Rethink Canada to create beer fridges full of free beer and delivered them to various locations in Europe.

They get extra fake points for the “Cheers1” with the tops still on the bottles.
