It's burger madness on social media as Brewers fans await George Webb promotion

Brewers fans on social media are hungry for George Webb burgers after watching a 12th straight win.

Milwaukee Brewers fans get to take a well-deserved break from tailgating in the American Family Field stadium parking lots and let George Webb Restaurants fire up their grills.

It's time for burger madness.

After defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-5, Aug. 13, the Brewers extended their winning streak to 12 consective games. (They also swept a fourth straight series and completed a 6-0 home stand.) That means for just the third time in franchise history, George Webb will give away free hamburgers to customers to celebrate a dozen straight victories.

And while the majority of the focus is understandably on the complimentary sliders, the Brewers have been putting together quite the eye-catching pitch for why they are the best team in baseball. The team is now 27-4 in their last 31 games. Milwaukee outscored the Pirates 33-6 in the three-game series, averaging 11 runs a game.

A 13th straight win in Cincinnati Friday night would equal the franchise record set at the beginning of the season in 1987.

Once 25-28 in late May, the team is now an almost inconceivable 32 games above .500. Fans on social media appear to have a huge appetite for Brewers baseball currently as they anticipate free food:

Customers wait in line for free hamburgers at George Webb on West Bluemound Road, in Brookfield in October of 2018, the last time the Brewers won 12 straight games.
