Brewers win! And that means, in the words of Oprah, "You get a burger, you get a burger, everyone gets a burger!"

For the first time since 1987 and only the second time in its history, George Webb, a Milwaukee-based, 24-hour diner, will be giving out free burgers to hometown fans to make good on a promise made by George Webb himself that if the home team won 12 games in a row, he'd give out free burgers.

"I want a burger," starter Gio Gonzalez said after the Brewers beat the Dodgers 6-5. "I better get one in my locker tomorrow or ... Somehow I'll get one of those burgers."

He'll have to wait a few days. The burger giveaway will be from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday at any of the 30 George Webb locations in Milwaukee and its suburbs.

A limited menu also will be available at that time.

George Webb made the promise in the 1940s.

In April 1987, the Brewers went 13 games without a loss, and fans lined up for hours in the rain to get their free burgers. That time, George Webb gave out free burgers from noon until 8 p.m. (that's twice as much time as this go-around). The restaurant gave out more than 170,000 free burgers.
