Following his Super Bowl victory on Sunday night, Peyton Manning was heard talking about the beer party he and his Broncos teammates were about to have, even tossing out the name Budweiser on national TV while up at the podium.
Many thought it was just a way for Manning, a known spokesperson for a number of brands, to just sneak in another shout-out to one of the company’s he works with—though, apparently, that wasn’t the case.
Turns out that the Brewers Association took notice of Manning’s decision to celebrate with beer, so they sent him a letter offering to hook his ass up with tons of it, per Ian Rapoport’s Twitter:
The Brewers Association sent Peyton Manning craft beer, so he won't drink Budweiser. My suggestion? Drink it all pic.twitter.com/jLb4l6rLS7

When someone uses the phrase, “share some craft beers from the over 4,000 small and independent craft breweries in Colorado and beyond,” you’ve immediately grabbed my attention, because, well, that’s a TON of beer.
Who knows if Manning will take the Brewers Association offer or not, but, shit, why in the hell wouldn’t he—especially if he plans to retire and has a bunch of time to kill?
