If they didn't pay, companies would have stopped sinking vast amounts
of effort and expense into them a century ago.
In the football EM there was some advertising for some beer.
They seem to be OK-ish. But I've tasted them just once I think.
Here in Germany, near Munich, we have a beer brand (from Munich) which
doesn't advertise but is the "standard beer" all around :-)
