Free drinks via apps
These apps often have free drinks to claim.
Free drinks every day with Dusk
The app Dusk gives you a free drink each day at selected bars. It’s also now UK-wide, not just London.
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

BrewDog: Hotter weather = cheaper beer
BrewDog is offering discounted beer depending on the weather in your local area.
If the temperature rises above the baseline temperature they set, they’ll bring down the price of their Cold Beer by 25p per Celsius. So the warmer it gets, the cheaper your beer will be.
For example, if the baseline temperature is set to 20°C and the local temperature in your area rises to 24°C, you could save £1 on a Cold Beer.
This deal is running from 5 September to 12 September 2023. It’s available in BrewDog bars that serve Cold Beer located in England, Wales and Scotland (excluding Edinburgh Airport).
So do check before heading to your local BrewDog to make sure that you can get the deal!
Free Birra Moretti (expired)
You can get a free pint of Birra Moretti at your local pub by signing up on its website.
You’ll be asked to choose a pub you want to get it from, but this can be changed later if necessary. Once you’ve signed up, you get a voucher in your emails to claim your free pint.
Most of my local pubs were participating, so you can probably just claim it on your next night out. But be quick, as there are only 50,000 free pints available and your voucher must be redeemed by 17 September 2023.
Greene King: Women’s World Cup Final free drink (expired)
You can get a free drink during the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday 20 August at your local Greene King sports pub.
All you’ll need to do is show up wearing England colours, England face paint or the England kit to get a drink of your choice on the house.
You can find your local Greene King sports pub by typing in your postcode on their website.
National Pub Fortnight: Free drink (expired)
Between 10 and 23 October 2022 you can get one of the following drinks for free at participating Great British Pub locations:
Corona Extra, Stella Artois, Budweiser, Guinness, Gordon’s Gin & Tonic (flavours vary by pub), Heineken, Kronenbourg 1664, Amstel, Foster’s, Strongbow, Strongbow Dark Fruit, John Smith’s Extra Smooth, Heineken 0.0%, Coors Light, Carling, Madri, Coke-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Schweppes Lemonade.
You need to claim a voucher from a mobile browser. This requires you to enter your mobile number to validate your account. Then you choose your pub and drink, and show the voucher at the bar.
There are 20,000 available so they could all go before the close date. Sadly there’s no way to check participating pubs before giving your details.
