Strange the Sky did not approach one of the beer factories and ask for "sponsorship"...:-)

Pubs tend to be owned by the breweries. I suspect there would be problems if Sky wanted (for example) Greene King to start advertising Fuller's in their pubs.

I don't think it would be a problem.. there's plenty of beer ads during footy...
