Free beer is a good thing. Going into the weekend, it is even better. Some people are getting just that. We Hoosiers, are not among some people :/
Today is International Beer Day, and in honor of the holiday, you can get free beer! And that fine free international beer is . . . Miller Lite.
They’re running a promotion where if you buy a six pack of Miller Lite today in one of 110 cities in the U.S. that share their name with a country, they’ll give you a full refund on the price.
The cities include places like Trinidad, Colorado . . . Scotland, South Dakota . . . Peru, Vermont . . . and Mexico, New York.
If that’s not enough, the NFL isn’t giving us free beer either.
Bud Light is trying to turn 2020 around by giving one sports town FREE BEER . . . and they’re letting the most important position in football decide who gets it: Kickers.
This is DEFINITELY intriguing . . . but unfortunately, they’ve already limited this competition to just two cities: Detroit and Denver. The free beer will be given to the city with the kicker who makes the longest field goal this season.
So it’s between Lions kicker is Matt Prater and the Broncos kicker is Brandon McManus. And this promotion came about after Brandon said he wanted to break the all-time record for longest field goal this season.
And Matt is included because he currently holds the record, which is 64 yards.
For the record, McManus’ personal best is 57 yards, which he did in 2015. He’s said, quote, “I know I can make that, my teammates know I can make that. In training camp, with live rushes, I’ve made it from 73 yards.”
Again, neither player HAS to beat the record . . . just make the longer kick this season. (Before COVID-19 scraps the entire season.)
