The Post Chicken & Beer thinks that adults should be able to enjoy the fun of a happy meal, which is why the brand has announced the launch of its new Adult Happy Meal promotion.
Like the happy meals most people grew up with, the new meal options include The Post’s signature crispy fried chicken, a side dish, an (alcohol-optional) beverage, and some "toys" (a branded sticker sheet and drink koozie). More specifically, The Post’s Adult Happy Meal features one fluffy biscuit and your choice of either the OG fried chicken sandwich or two pieces of white or dark fried chicken. Both are served with a bag of chips or a side of slaw, along with soda or tea, or a 12-ounce can of Howdy Western Pilsner from The Post Brewing Co.
