Beer brand develops a beer contract for friends to sign
Beer brand develops a beer contract for friends to sign. Alicia Vitarelli reports during Action News at 4 p.m. on June 5, 2019.

If you've ever told your friends you'd meet them for drinks and then bailed, there's now a binding contract that will make you stick to your word.

A Swedish beer brand called Norrlands Guld developed a beer contract.

If you say you're going to meet up for a beer, you sign on it.

There's a fine for failing to show -- 500 Swedish kroner, or $50 US.

The goal is to get friends together and end those phony offers to meet up.
