Call the Cops! Qwest Busted in Beer-Cup Controversy

Categories: Beer, Booze News

This weekend the Seahawks beat the defending Superbowl champs in a shocking upset at Qwest Field. Another group that's upset at Qwest Field? The hundreds of thousands of fans who have been overpaying for their large beers all season. In a controversial video that went viral on Friday, a fan pours a large beer into a small beer cup and back into the large cup--without any of the beer overflowing. Wait, what?!

After the video hit Facebook and Twitter, Qwest announced they would only sell beer at the small beer price ($1.25 less than the former large beer) for Saturday's game. First & Goal, the company that manages the stadium claims that this is the first time they've been alerted to the discrepancy.

Watch the video after the jump.

Alerted by the fans, maybe, but let's hope for their sake that they haven't been knowingly scamming Seahawk supporters all along.
