Think you could have kicked a better field goal than Cody Parkey?
Goose Island brewery is challenging Chicagoans who claim they could. This weekend, starting at noon, there will be field goal posts set up outside their tap-room at Fulton and Wood Street. They say whoever makes the 43-yard field goal wins free beer for a year.
They posted a thread of tweets talking about the game and how confident they are in those testing if they actually could make that kick.

*deep breath* we think we’re finally okay with talking about yesterday’s game. 1/5— Goose Island Beer Co (@GooseIsland) January 7, 2019
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 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

Also, IT WAS TIPPED. 5/5
