Philadelphia sports fans may have yet another reason to hope their beloved Eagles win the Super Bowl: free beer.
Though the company has not officially confirmed the news, Anheuser-Busch has hinted that it may reward the City of Brotherly Love with free Bud Light if the Eagles manage to win their first-ever Super Bowl championship on Feb. 4.
Lane Johnson, an offensive lineman for the Eagles, is largely responsible for this news, as it traces back to a comment he made at a press conference before the 2017 season even started.
"I have a lot to prove to this city … I think if we have a few big years and make the playoffs, if we win a Super Bowl, I'm giving out beer to everybody,” he told reporters in late July, according to ESPN.
A few days later, Bud Light tweeted directly at Johnson, telling him they’d pony up the cash for the “party” should the Eagles follow through.
