PESHTIGO, WI (WTAQ) – A Brewers winning streak resulted in free food a George Webb in Peshtigo.
Hundreds of free burgers were handed out, thanks to the Brewers, and a long time promise by George Webb if the Brewers win 12 in a row.
Doug Orlowski of Kewaunee was the first in line.
“We were waiting for the Brewers to do this my entire life, and once they did, we made the road trip up to Peshtigo to get the burger. Orlowski says it was worth the trip.
“Tastes like victory.”
For some, one burger was not enough.
Sean Nichols of Iron Mountain Michigan, a competitive eater, stopped in for a snack.
“I am just enjoying them, not speed eating them. 15 paid and one for free.”
For Nichols, it was a new experience.
“I have actually never had George Webb before, so I thought this was a good chance since I was driving through the area.”
For some like Marla Curran of Allouez, it was a chance to relive old memories.
“The burger is just as I remember,” she said. “I have not had one since 1987.”
When asked out the burger tasted.
“It tastes better when the Brewers are winning.”
While winning 12 games in a row is great, Brewer fans are hoping for more, starting with a two-game win streak that would send them to the World Series.
Fans just hope it does not take 18 years for 12 in a row to happen again.
