CP All announced this morning that it has decided to pull draft beer machines from 7-Eleven convenience stores once and for all, after anti-drinking groups staged protests on Friday.
For those who looked forward to trying draft Leo beer at 7-Eleven after all the online hype, the service was halted due to criticism, and there is no hope for you now. In a Facebook statement this morning, CP All said it will pull draft beer machines from its 18 stores in the pilot program due to the “advice and concern from many sectors.”
