In Qatar, in the middle of one of the hottest deserts, where the 2022 World Cup is being played, one of the things that you would desire the most is a cold beer, right? Well, I’m sorry, they are pro-hi-bi-ted.
However, since here at JefeBet we love chelitas (beer) as much as you do, we want to dream about the beers in Qatar, and we want to see which ones people yearn to drink the most during the games.
Beers in Qatar that Budweiser couldn’t sell
Budweiser beer, from the Belgian group Anheuser-Busch Inbev (AB InBev), is one of the best-selling beers in the world, one of the most popular in the United States and the official beer of Qatar 2022. That is, it is the one of the beers that ‘would’ be sold in the stadiums during all World Cup matches.
And we say ‘would be’ because most of the Buds stayed in the warehouses that they arrived in to Qatar, because the Bud Zero (non-alcoholic beer) is the only beer that World Cup attendees will be able to drink during the games.
Ecuador clamors for beers in Qatar
Latin fans have already started to claim for beers in Qatar. During Ecuador’s match against the Netherlands, our Ecuadorian brothers, who are the fans of La Tri, shouted “We want beer, we want beer”. Because a soccer game without beer is missing something, don’t you think so too?
By the way, there are some people who claim that FIFA may sanction Ecuador for these chants. Hopefully not!
The beers in Qatar that everyone wants to drink
Of course Buds were the beers that everyone was savoring when they thought of Qatar. Who wouldn’t love to have a cold Budweiser “chelita” while watching Messi take that penalty kick, or savor a Corona enjoying up close when the Pulga makes history by scoring a goal in his fifth consecutive World Cup?
Well, if it’s a question of longing, Mexican fans surely yearn for a Corona Extra, or a Modelo beer that’s just right. By the way, I don’t know if you knew that the Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) group also owns Corona and the delicious Modelo beer.
Brazilian fans will long for the delicious Brahma, one of the beers that conquers the palates of those who are third in the world in beer consumption. On the other hand, among the beers in Qatar that Argentines would surely like to enjoy is the almost artisan Patagonia beer in any of its versions.
Uruguayans would dream that the beers in Qatar could be some of those Norteñas they love so much. And we already know that the beer that the Ecuadorian fans were clamoring for in that match was the Ecuadorian Pilsener, produced by SAB Miller, and which the fans of LaTri love.
But they have to settle for the Bud Zero.
Yet, what is Budweiser going to do with the pile of beers in Qatar that they couldn’t sell?
Yes, the Budweiser folks came up with the best idea ever to keep beers in Qatar from being returned to their deposits. A few days ago they announced that the country that wins the World Cup will take home all the beers that could not be sold in Qatar. And they also said that they are going to organize a mega party.
These guys know it all! And, of course, there is more than one country hoping that their national team will win the World Cup, but now there is even more desire that their team will do so.
And where can you drink beer in Qatar?
Beers in Qatar can be drunk at the Fifa Fan Fest that takes place in Doha, in Bidda Park, during all the days of the World Cup in Qatar. Now that’s a huge party! And it was inaugurated by Maluma himself.
At the FIFA Fan Festival, fans in Doha can enjoy watching the games live, having a few drinks, and seeing live performances by local and international artists.
But don’t think you can drink as many beers in Qatar as you want, because at the Fifa Fan Fest in Doha they only sell 4 beers per person and the queues are kilometers long.
If you are one of those who stayed at home watching this World Cup, you can be sure that the drinks you have at home, or at the bar watching each game, will be better than the ones at the stadium. I assure you!
By the way, who do you think will take all those Buds home?
