How to get a free beer, cider or soft drink at the pub in the next few weeks – The Sun

PUB goers can nab a free beer, cider or soft drink at their local pub over the next few weeks.

The offer, which rolled out yesterday, is available until March 14 at Great British Pubs branches across the UK.

A pint of beer or cider usually costs around £3.50, so it's an easy way to save some money on your favourite tipple.

All you need to do to get the freebie is register your details with Great British Pubs on a smartphone or tablet.

You can choose from a selection of more than 20 drinks – if your local pub stocks all of them – including Corona, Stella Artois, Guinness, Strongbow, Rekorderlig as well as Gordon's gin.

There's also alcohol-free Heineken and Old Mout, and soft drinks such as Pepsi Max and J20.

How to find the cheapest beer

IF you're after the cheapest pint in your area, here are some tips.

  • Snap up the pub's own pale ales – One way to cut down your costs is to go to pubs that sell their own-brewed pale ales as they will sell at a cheaper price per pint than those from an external brewery, according to the Good Pub Guide.
  • Go for a low alcohol content – Pints with a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) tend to be cheaper, so they could be a great option if you like the taste of beer.
  • Become a member of a beer drinker's group -If you’re always in the pub, you may be able to save money by signing up to a beer drinkers’ group. For example, a CAMRA membership gives you vouchers and discounts at JD Wetherspoon pubs. The prices start at £18 a year though, so carefully calculate first whether you think it's worth it.
  • Snap up supermarket deals – If you're not fussed about having your beer in the pub, you can often nab supermarket deals on beers which work out cheaper than at the pub.

In total, there are a whopping 70,000 free drinks up for grabs.

There are a limited number of drinks available at each pub though, so it's best to not wait around for too long if you don't want to risk missing out.

When you sign up, you'll need to put down your post code to get a selection of the pubs near you.

You then get a list of which drinks each pub can offer you for free. Simply click on the one you want and bring the voucher to the pub.

Great British Pubs last offered the same deal as recently as last month.
