St George’s Day has arrived and patriotic English men and women can raise a pint to our patron saint – for free. Proper Pubs, which has 239 pubs across the UK, is offering free pints to patriots this Thursday, April 23.
There’s only one catch: you need to be named George, or some variation of it, such as Georgia, Georgina, Georgie – “we’re not picky”, says the pub chain.
The offer includes popular beers such as John Smiths, Fosters and Carling, as well as white wines, ciders, rosé and soft drinks like Pepsi Max.
Proper Pubs says free pint patriots will need to show valid ID to prove their namesake connection to St George.
The firm says the offer may vary depending on the pub and availability and the offer is one free drink per person and email address.
Proper Pubs said: “This St George’s Day, we’re giving a free drink to anyone who can prove it. George, Georgia, Georgina, Georgie… we’re not picky.
“Just show your ID at the bar and we’ll sort the rest. Come down, claim your free one, and see where the day takes you.
“Not a George? No freebie this time, but you’re still more than welcome to join in,”
Other terms and conditions apply, including: “This voucher entitles you to one free drink from the following list: Pint John Smiths, Pint Carling, Pint Fosters, Pint Strongbow original, Pint Magners original, Pint Inch’s Cider, 175ml Jack Rabbit Merlot, 175ml El Velero Tempranillo Tinto, 175ml Jack Rabbit White Zinfandel, 175ml Rugged Ridge Zinfandel Rose, 175ml Jack Rabbit Chardonnay, 175ml Jack Rabbit Pinot Grigio, 175ml El Velero Verdejo Blanco, Regular Pepsi, Regular Pepsi Max and Regular Lemonade.”
