Brewdog: free beer
Until Friday 14 February 2025, Brewdog is giving away free beer in its bars between 4-5pm. You’ll probably want to book a table for it though, as the bars are likely to be very busy.
It’s slightly different in Scotland and Wales, where there’ll be £3,000 behind the bar from 4pm, instead. You can get a maximum of two beers and it’ll end when the money runs out.
It’s not available with other offers or discounts and isn’t available at Edinburgh Waverley, Edinburgh Airport, Gatwick Airport, Belfast Grand Central, or Waterloo Arms.
Lucky Saint: free 0% pint
Grab a free pint across the UK in January. You’ll need to select your location then claim your voucher.
Heineken: free 0% pint or bottle
Enter your email address to receive a voucher for a free pint or bottle. Runs until 31 January 2025 or until 31,500 vouchers have been claimed.
All Bar One: free champagne (ended)
You can get a free 0% Athletic beer or an Everleaf non-alcoholic cocktail at All Bar One until 31 January 2025. All you have to do is download the app and sign up and you’ll see the code on your homepage. If you’re already a member, you’ll find it on your home screen.
There’s a code to redeem the offer which you can use at the bar or in the app.
You can only redeem it once and you can’t get it at airports or the O2.

Free drinks via apps
These apps often have free drinks to claim.
El Tab: £9.99 a week for free drinks
Smartphone app El Tab offers Londoners up to four free drinks every night of the week in different bars across the city. It usually costs £9.99 a week or £24.99 a month.
We’ve done a full analysis of the app to find out whether it can cut cut the cost of boozing in London.
Free drinks every day with Dusk
The app Dusk gives you a free drink each day at selected bars.
Just download the app and look for the bars participating. If you use the referral code AWEBB5 you’ll earn 500 reward points. I’m not sure they actually do anything right now, but there’s no harm in adding it to your account.
Free drinks with Embargo app
Another app, this one lets you check in to various venues to claim free drinks and discounts. Some are only available if you’ve collected ‘stamps’ from previous visits.
Use the code AMPLIFYING when you sign up. Not sure if there’s a reward but it’s worth a go!

Free beer with We Love Sport

There seems decent coverage of pubs across the big towns and cities (eg 9 bars in Leeds, 5 in York and 5 in Huddersfield), but you won’t be able to use it everywhere. You can see participating pubs in the offer section of the app.
Tried Dusk but there’s nothing up currently in Scotland – FYI for anyone else considering.
