A you become older, it also becomes more difficult to get together with some people in your life, especially for birthday celebrations, but the Budweiser Buds for Buds app is designed to help you send over beer for friends even if you can't be there in person.
The Buds for Buds app works through Facebook and has users click on a post to redeem a free beer. The Budweiser app was developed in partnership with Gratafy, a merchant that provides the gift delivery service. To receive a free beer, Facebook users are not required to download the web app, although the gesture may encourage them to pass on the favor to another friend on Facebook.
