Goose Island Brewery building field-goal post, offering free beer to anyone who can kick 43-yarder

Bears kicker Cody Parkey has been taking plenty of criticism from fans, but a popular brand is doing their best to defend him.

Goose Island Brewery came out in support of Parkey, pointing out how difficult it is to make a 43-yard field goal, even though “armchair kickers” seem to believe it’s easy.

Check out what they had to say about it on Twitter.

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. 2/5

So they’re posing a challenge, and building a field-goal post at their brewery. Anyone who can successfully drain a 43-yarder will win a year’s worth of beer.

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

The free beer is great, but the glory is even better.
