The U.S. now has more beer styles and brands to choose from than any other market in the world. More than 5,000 breweries are responsible for the beer brands available in the U.S.

VIRGINIA BEACH — Build-A-Bears across the country were flooded with people trying to 'Pay their Age' for a bear. A local craft beer shop decided to mix things up and offer a very similar same deal.

Mix It Up Virginia Beach on Shore Drive is offering 'Pay Your Age Day' for a pint. The shop decided to add a decimal to the deal "since we're adults."

Anyone 25 will only have to pay $2.50 for a pint!

The deal starts at 3 p.m. on Thursday according to their Instagram page.

Build A Bear ❌ DRINK A BEER ✅ Come out to Mix It Up today starting at 3pm and pay your age (with a decimal because we’re adults 🤷‍♀️) for your pints! (Example: Age 25, Price $2.50) 🍻🍻🍻

On Thursday, Build-A-Bear's "Pay Your Age Day" was so successful, it failed. Lines were so long it shut stores down just hours after opening.

Hopefully that doesn't happen to the local craft beer shop!
