If you can kick a 40+ yard field goal and like beer, you may want to start planning a trip to Chicago.
Bears kicker Cody Parkey was heavily criticized after missing a 43-yard field goal that lost them the game in Chicago’s Wild card round matchup against the Eagles Sunday night.
Feeling bad for the kid, Goose Island Beer has announced that they will be building a goal post and giving the average joe a chance to win free beer for a year if they can do what Parkey couldn’t.
“A lot of armchair kickers on here are saying that they could hit that field goal, which we find DOUBTFUL. You’re gonna sit there on your throne of potato chips and vape pens and criticize this dude’s athleticism? GET REAL,” Goose Island tweeted Monday.

So you know what we’re going to do? Build a dang field goal post in the middle of the street outside of our brewery, and all you pro athletes can come out and prove us wrong. 3/5

This weekend during normal taproom hours we’ll have a chance for you to show off your kicking skills. Hit the 43 yard field goal and you’ll win beer for a year and eternal glory. More info coming soon. 4/5
