Anheuser-Busch says that if at least 70 percent of Americans get vaccinated for COVID-19 by July 4th, they will give away free beer.

This is actually a joint venture between Anheuser-Bush and the White House to give away the free beer if 70 percent of Americans have at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot by July 4th.

It's meant to support the White House's campaign to encourage more people to be vaccinated:

Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris said in a statement...."At Anheuser-Busch, we are committed to supporting the safe and strong recovery of our nation and being able to be together again at the places and with the people we have missed so much. This commitment includes encouraging Americans to get vaccinated, and we are excited to buy Americans 21+ a round of beer when we reach the White House goal. Doukeris went on to say “We pride ourselves on stepping up both in times of need and in times of great celebration, and the past year has been no different. As we look ahead to brighter days with renewed optimism, we are proud to work alongside the White House to make a meaningful impact for our country, our communities and our consumers.”

The watchdog for having reached the goal of 70 percent by July 4th will be determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If they say we reached it, the "Let's Grab a Beer" initiative will go into action as Americans of legal drinking age get to choose from free beer, seltzer, a non-alcoholic beverage or other A-B products which includes a selection of more than 100 products.

If you stop and think about it for a moment, we're not that far away from the 70% goal. So far, 63 percent of adult Americans have received at least one dose.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
