DRINKERS can bag a free pint this St Patrick’s Day, thanks to a boozy giveaway from Greene King.
The pub giant has teamed up with Jameson Irish Whiskey to dish out thousands of free drinks across the UK.
Until March 31, customers can claim a complimentary Jameson, ginger and lime or a pint of Greene King IPA at participating pubs.
If you’re planning to grab a freebie, it’s best to check in advance whether your local Greene King pub is taking part.
All you have to do is sign up on the Jameson website and flash your voucher at the bar.
Punters can grab a free Jameson Irish Whiskey with Ginger & Lime, served as either a 50ml or 35ml measure.
The drink is paired with a 200ml bottle of Schweppes Canada Dry Ginger Ale or Fever-Tree Ginger Ale, making it the perfect St Patrick’s Day treat.
Not a whiskey fan? No problem – you can swap it for a soft drink instead.
Options include a regular glass of draught Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, or Schweppes Lemonade.
With a choice of booze or a soft drink, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
You can find the full list of participating Greene King and Jameson pubs for your free drink by the Jameson website.
Greene King has run similar offers in previous years, with punters snapping up free drinks.
In other news, earlier this month, Greene King returned its golden ale Spring Break to pumps around the country.
The 4.4 per cent ABV beer is a fruity brew, with notes of peach, lychee and tropical flavours.
The cask ale was first brewed in 2022 in collaboration with two apprentices studying the brewing course at the University of Nottingham.
It was a big hit amongst punters and soon became a “firm favourite”, Greene King said.
Spring Break returns with a new look designed to honour St George’s Day.
