Alvin Kamara has caught the attention of a local brewery following the announcement of his two-year, $24.5 million extension with the New Orleans Saints.
Abita Beer, based in Louisiana, has expressed their intention to offer Kamara a “lifetime supply of beer,” while affectionately referring to him as a “loyal king.” It appears that Kamara is open to discussing the specifics with the brewery.
He took to X to inquire, “Do you need my address.. how we do this?”

Kamara, who has dedicated his entire eight-year career to the Saints, has now secured his presence in New Orleans until the 2026 season with his new contract.
During the offseason, Kamara missed the conclusion of the Saints’ mandatory minicamp in pursuit of a new deal, but he didn’t engage in a holdout. Despite his disappointment over not getting the extension he desired, he consistently expressed his intention to remain in New Orleans.
“I want to be a Saint,” he stated in July. “I want to retire here.”
With the new extension in hand, his wish has been granted, much to the delight of fans. His commitment to the team that drafted him has not gone unnoticed, as local businesses have even offered him free beer. If Kamara continues to excel in the backfield, he may attract even more local breweries and restaurants eager to provide him with lifelong supplies of their specialties.
Alvin Kamara has recorded 438 rushing yards and six touchdown runs, complemented by 252 receiving yards and one touchdown as the season unfolds. The Saints kicked off the year impressively with commanding victories over the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys, but their momentum has faltered with five consecutive losses.
Now fueled by a fresh contract, Kamara will be pivotal for New Orleans as they aim to turn their season around and possibly end a three-year absence from the playoffs.
