Free beer at the Eagles parade? Here's how that's going

Bud Light gives out free beer at Eagles Parade

Bud Light promised free beer at the Eagles Parade and they're holding up their end of the bargain, even if it's not an open bar for 2 million people. 

More than two dozen bars along the Eagles victory parade route in Philadelphia, stretching from South Philly to the steps of the art museum -- a five mile journey -- are offering one free Bud Light to parade-goers who are 21 or older. 

Drinkers who show their ID at participating bars are given a token they can exchange inside the bars for one free beer. But that doesn't mean one free beer per stop, like some may have hoped. Bud Light and bar representatives are making sure everyone gets their hands stamped once they get their freebee. 

Beers were brought in to the bars and beer stores earlier this week and at some point, they're bound to run out, although it's unclear how many beer they'll be giving away. 

When they run out, or for fans who couldn't make it to the parade, Bud Light will be offering a $7 rebate on six-packs or larger amounts of Bud Light that cost more than $7, but the offers only good on Thursday and Friday. Here's how to get that. 

Beer-drinkers lined up at bars like the Urban Saloon, waiting to get their free drink. 

Outside the store Franklin Beer, people waited in line to get inside to purchase beer to take back out on the street. 

For those who can't make the parade, Bud Light also will offer a $7 rebateon purchases of a Bud Light six-pack (or larger) in excess of $7. The purchase must made on Feb. 8 or Feb. 9.
