SEATTLE — The Milwaukee Brewers could make history Tuesday with a 12-game winning streak, which would be only the third time the franchise has achieved this milestone.
A win against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday would also trigger George Webb’s famous burger giveaway, a beloved tradition for fans.

The last time Brewers fans enjoyed free burgers thanks to the Brewers was in 2018, when the team’s 12-game winning streak had fans lining up at George Webb restaurants throughout the area.
One of their locations in Brookfield took to Facebook on Monday, cheering on the Brew Crew, writing, “Two more to go, and it’s free burger time. Let’s go Crew!!”
If Milwaukee wins, George Webb will announce a specific day and time for the free burger giveaway, according to a release from a company spokesperson.
“Milwaukee has a chance at 12 straight wins when they play Seattle tonight,” said Ryan Stamm, vice president of George Webb Restaurants. “We’re prepping our all-star team to serve up free burgers as Milwaukee edges closer to 12 straight victories.”

The burger giveaway unofficially began in the 1940s. It was formalized in 1965, when the owner painted the prediction on restaurant walls and advertised in local papers. George Webb reportedly stated that once the hometown team won 12 games in a row, free burgers would be served, according to the release.
First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. CT at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
