The program was developed by the Brewers to thank fans and support small businesses. Players select popular restaurants and watering holes where Brewers fans typically gather and surprise customers by covering the tab for the night. One restaurant or bar will be selected for each Friday during the regular season and customers will see their bill covered by their favorite Brewers players.
