For Father's Day, Budweiser has launched the 'Dad Card,' a pre-paid credit card that only costs $5, yet comes with enough money to buy beer for the year.
In addition to $430 worth of Budweiser, the Dad Card grants dads a physical pass to being unabashedly dad-like, whether that means mowing the lawn in a pair of not-so-trendy chunky sneakers, or proudly sharing their favorite dad jokes.
Those interested in picking up a Dad Card ahead of Father's Day can sign up on June 18th starting at 12pm EST. Only a limited number will be offered, and fans looking to sign up must be the legal drinking age in the US. The cards can be used anywhere that Budweiser is sold.
