(CNN) An offer of free beer to supporters of President Donald Trump has sparked an international brouhaha. Scottish craft brewery BrewDog canceled a series of planned events with US brewery Scofflaw in the United Kingdom after a statement issued on behalf of the American company promised free beer to supporters of Trump. The events were planned at BrewDog bars across the UK this weekend. BrewDog, a brewery and bar chain that's renowned for its punk rock attitude and liberal politics, responded to online criticism of the promotion by canceling the events. "The Scofflaw release was announced without our knowledge or consent," BrewDog said on Twitter on Thursday.
