CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
Heads up to all you beer lovers out there. Something as simple as your name could result in... free beer!
The folks at Miller Lite have come up with a way to reward people with the name "Miller"! First, middle, or last - it doesn't matter.
On July 11th, if you have Miller in your name (and can prove it) you'll get a $25 gift card for free Miller Lite.
"Legal-drinking-age consumers with the first, middle or last name Miller will receive a gift card equivalent to the cost of a case of Miller Lite so they can enjoy a little Miller Time with their friends," a release from the company stated.
Nine cities, including Charlotte, are hosting special "It's Miller Time On Us" events across the country can show their legal state ID with their first, middle or last name of Miller to pick up their $25 It's Miller Time gift card.
"It's Miller Time On Us" kicks off this week in Philadelphia and then continues in Charlotte, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Phoenix throughout June and July.
Gift cards are limited to one per person and must be collected within the designated hours for the event.
Charlotte's event kicks off at the Epicentre on July 11th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
"Miller Time is all about those moments when you're hanging out with your real friends and enjoying the great taste of Miller Lite," said Ryan Reis, senior director of marketing for Miller Lite.
"Because Miller Time starts with Miller, we decided to give some Miller Lite to our namesakes to share with their friends. As the sixth most common last name in America, we know there are a lot of Millers ready to celebrating Miller Time on us. And if you're not a Miller, grab your friends who are and bring them to one of our events."
