Soccer: Free beer for fans of team that beats Bayern

FRANKFURT - A German brewery will give away 10,000 litres of beer to fans of the first team to beat Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayern have won 15 league games in a row -- six out of six this season, plus their final nine on the run-in to the title last term -- and are already four points clear at the top.

"We want to create a bit of excitement," Bitburger spokesman Dietmar Henle told Bild newspaper today.

"We've nothing against Bayern but there must be some tension."

The beer could be claimed on Sunday when second-placed Hamburg SV host Bayern.

Bitburger will raise the offer by 1000 litres each match until the prize has been won, Bild reported.
