’Screw it’ -Bud Light offers free beer to any aliens that escape during Area 51 raid

Bud Light is getting on the fun surrounding the "Area 51 raid" that's been in the news recently.

First, the brand distanced itself, tweeting, "We'd like to be the first brand to formally announce that we will not be sponsoring the Area 51 raid" early last week.

But on Thursday (July 17th) Bud Light changed its tune, tweeting, "Screw it. Free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out."

They followed that by announcing a special edition beer, the Area 51 Special Edition.

The top of the can reads, "Greetings Earthlings. This is the famous Area 51. We know of no space beer by any other life form which is brewed and aged to be more refreshing. Our cryogenic aging produces a light-bodied space lager with a fresh tastes, a crisp, clean finish, and a smooth drinkability. Take us to your leader...for drinks."
