The Brewers came to close to winning free burgers earlier this season when they had an 11-game winning streak from July 6 to July 21, but lost the 12th game 1–0 to the Mariners. They have won free burgers for fans twice, in 1987 and 2018.

The first time the chain paid up was 1987, when the Brewers won 13 straight games, and 168,000 burgers were given out.

The Brewers are in hamburger heaven. The team picked up its 12th straight win on Wednesday in a 12-5 victory over the Pirates, securing free burgers for the entire state of Wisconsin from local chain George Webb and putting the Brewers on the cusp of tying a franchise record for consecutive wins.
