Buy a Hero a Bud

🍺 Buy a Hero a Bud – July & August at Hotshots

  •  Dates Jul 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2025
  •  Location Multiple Hotshots Locations (See below)

Hotshots is proud to honor our local heroes with the Buy a Hero a Bud program—happening all July and August at our St. Louis-area locations.

💙 How It Works

We’re giving our guests the opportunity to pre-pay for a Bud Family beer for a veteran or first responder. When you purchase a “Hero Bud,” your gift is printed on a special Hero Card and displayed proudly in the bar.

When a veteran or first responder visits us, they can simply take a card from the wall and redeem it for a cold Bud. It’s our way of saying thank you—and giving our community a chance to do the same.

🎖️ Want to Buy a Hero a Bud?

Just ask your bartender or server to add a “Hero Bud” to your tab and we’ll take care of the rest. Each beer goes to someone who deserves it most.

🫡 Are You a Hero?

If you’re a veteran or first responder, ask your server about our Hero Buds. A manager will assist with your redemption—just let us thank you with a cold one on the house (courtesy of someone who appreciates your service).


Available all July & August at these Hotshots locations:

  • Lindbergh

  • Fenton

  • Webster Groves

  • Arnold

    (…and more!)

📍 Look for the Hero Cards on display at the bar!

Let’s raise one for the brave. 🍻
