Chicago Bears fans still mourning kicker Cody Parkey’s missed 43-yard field goal have a chance to drown their sorrows -- that is, if they can make a field goal themselves.
Goose Island Brewery in Chicago is offering free beer for a year to anyone who can make a 43-yard kick.
This weekend during normal taproom hours we'll have a chance for you to show off your kicking skills. Hit the 43 yard field goal and you'll win beer for a year and eternal glory. More info coming soon. 4/5
