It's officially MLB Opening Day, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to crack open a cold one and watch some baseball. Especially if said cold one is a Jackie Robinson-inspired Bud.
Yes, such a legendary beer actually exists thanks to Budweiser's "42" aluminum bottles, which are undeniably some of the beer company's best work to date—right ahead of their meats. Sold as part of a campaign honoring Robinson's heroic achievements both on and off the field, baseball fans can now "raise a bud" to the icon who changed the game.
Through this campaign—celebrating what would have been Robinson's 100th birthday—42 cents from every bottle sold during the 2019 MLB season will be donated to the Jackie Robinson Foundation to help support the Jackie Robinson Museum opening in New York City this year.
Along with the limited edition bottles, Budweiser collaborated with Oscar-winning director Spike Lee to create "Impact," a film narrated by Robinson's daughter, Sharon, to spotlight the color barriers the baseball icon broke after years of segregation. Check it out:
Now, go ahead and treat yourself to Budweiser's limited edition Jackie Robinson bottles, available at stores and ballparks nationwide.
