A private bookstore near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln no longer will offer a coupon for free beer at a local brewery to students buying textbooks at their store after receiving criticism over the promotion.

Bookstore General Manager Chuck Bills said while he could understand the reaction against the promotion, he still hopes his store can run "outrageous promotions" in the future to compete with UNL's university-owned store.
