Bud Light Area 51 cans are now for real

Bud Light tweeted over the summer that if their mock-up photo of Area 51 cans received 51,000 retweets, the packaging would become a reality. Well, the tweet fell short on retweets, but blew up on likes, so the beer brand is rewarding us all anyway, and the limited-edition cans are happening!

Beginning on Sept. 13, people in Nevada, Arizona, and California can get the Area 51-inspired aluminum cans in honor of the raid that’s slated for Sept. 20. They have a green and black background that features an alien.



Just as Bud Light promised free beer to any aliens that escape Area 51, there is a fridge located at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from now through Sept. 20 that can only be unlocked with an alien finger scan. So any extraterrestrials that might be reading this right now, your time is now.

In addition to the beer can packaging, Bud Light is selling themed merchandise online at AB Gift Shop — so fans of legal drinking age everywhere can get a jacket, shirt, koozie, and flag, as well as hats and socks. Items range from $4 to $100.

“They way we see it, we’d much rather people crack open a crisp Bud Light with alien visitors rather than storm Area 51,” a Bud Light spokesperson said. “Nothing says we come in peace like sharing a beer with friends from another place or another galaxy.”
