CLEVELAND — It didn't take Cleveland Browns fans long to stock up on Bud Light Victory Fridges.
In just under three hours on Tuesday, B.L. & Browns Appliance Superstore in Ohio City sold out of the models they had in stock.
Lines were formed at 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning in anticipation of the sale of the Victory Fridges. WWE Superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin served as master of ceremonies during the 'chain cutting' ceremony alongside Browns stars Myles Garrett and Jarvis Landry.
The Miz also became a salesperson during his time at B.L. & Browns Appliance Superstore, assisting fans with their purchase of a Victory Fridge and helping them load the models into their cars.
If you missed your chance to get a Victory Fridge on Tuesday, don't worry. You can still place an order for one by stopping into B.L. & Browns Appliance Superstore until 9 p.m. on Tuesday and then from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Bud Light made the announcement about the return of the Victory Fridges via a commercial featuring"The Miz," a native of Parma who also happens to be one of the Browns' most famous fans.
"You're welcome, Cleveland," Bud Light wrote in a tweet replying to the Browns' posting of the video.
It was one year ago the Victory Fridges made their debut in Cleveland with the Browns coming off an 0-16 season in 2017. In order to build anticipation for what would be the Browns' first victory in nearly two calendar years, Bud Light stocked bars and restaurants around Downtown Cleveland with fridges filled with free beer, which would unlock as soon as the team won its first game of the 2018 regular season.
Fans would have to wait two weeks for their free beer, which was ultimately unlocked after the Browns' 21-17 victory over the New York Jets on Sept. 20, which doubled as Baker Mayfield's debut with the team. What followed was a championship-like celebration in Downtown Cleveland, which was aided in no small part by the presence of free beer.
