• Miller Lite is celebrating its 50^th anniversary by giving away 50,000 beers in 500 bars around the country. The company is also offering free beer on its website to people that can’t make it to a bar in time. The giveaways will take place between 4:50 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time.

Aug. 1 is international beer day—and if your beer fridge happens to be empty, one major beer brand is happy to offer you a freebie today.
