Brewers Win Streak = Free George Webb Burgers!

George Webb giving out 90,000 burgers in 2018

2018 was the last time George Webb handed out free burgers for a Brewers 12-game winning streak

Milwaukee fans, get ready to celebrate!

If the Brewers win their 12th straight game on Tuesday against the Mariners with The Miz pitching, George Webb will honor their legendary promise with free hamburgers across the metro area.

This isn't just a promotion – it's pure Milwaukee history. George Webb's founder started this challenge back in the 1940s, promising free burgers if Milwaukee teams could win 12 in a row. According to George Webb’s telling:

It started with George Webb himself in the 1940s with the Brewer teams of the American Association. George, ever the baseball fan and home team booster, predicted the team would win 12 games straight. If they managed the feat, George hinted the restaurants would give away free hamburgers. The prediction lived on when Milwaukee’s home team became the Braves, and continued the tradition when the Brewers took up residence in town. And oh, how close the teams came several times. You could almost taste victory (and burgers). Finally, on April 19, 1987, the Brewers did it. Three days, and 168,194 hamburgers later, George Webb fulfilled the payoff, to thrilled customers and Brewers fans alike.

The Brewers finally did it on April 19, 1987, and Webb served up an incredible 168,194 free hamburgers. The tradition continued in October 2018 when the Brewers won 12 straight playoff games, resulting in about 90,000 free burgers handed out in a single afternoon.
