Greene King is set to hand out 100,000 complimentary pints this bank holiday Monday. Patrons can claim a free pint by simply uttering the phrase “I’m home” at the bar. Among the beverages available in this offer are Greene King IPA, Guinness, Old Speckled Hen, or a soft drink. The initiative is part of Greene King’s “Home at Your Local” campaign, encouraging individuals to view their local pub as a second home. In addition to the free pints, Greene King will host numerous “pub warming parties” throughout May.
To launch the festivities, The Albert Pub in Victoria, London, will feature a special pub quiz hosted by Ralf Little and Will Mellor from The Two Pints Podcast on May 3. Furthermore, Shaun and Bez, accompanied by DJ Jon Da Silva, will inaugurate the first Greene King rave day at The Deansgate pub in Manchester on May 9.
Andrew Gallagher, Brand and Marketing Director at Greene King, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming events, stating that pubs hold a special place in British culture as gathering spots for communities to create lasting memories. He emphasized the warm and welcoming atmosphere of local pubs, inviting both regulars and newcomers to partake in the celebrations.
Ralf Little highlighted the communal aspect of pubs, emphasizing that they are more than just places for a drink but spaces where people come together to socialize and have fun. Will Mellor echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement about bringing people together through the pub warming parties and testing guests’ pub knowledge while celebrating the British local pub scene.
