BrewDog Offering Free Pints to Voters at Over 70 Bars Today
- BrewDog to give away free pints at over 70 locations
- Initiative to encourage voting in the UK General Election
- Claim your free pint by showing a polling station selfie
BrewDog is set to offer free pints at over 70 of its bars today as part of its Vote Punk initiative, aimed at encouraging Brits to vote in the UK’s General Election on July 4.
The Vote Punk campaign will provide a complimentary pint of Punk IPA or Punk AF to anyone who shows a selfie taken outside their polling station to bar staff. Voters who use postal ballots can also participate by presenting their postal registration confirmation email. Even four-legged friends won't miss out, as BrewDog is offering dog beer or treats on the house.
Lauren Carrol, Chief Marketing Officer at BrewDog, said, “We’ve been toasting Brits’ right to vote with our Vote Punk campaign since 2017, with thousands of free pints poured – because where better to go after the polls than the pub? BrewDog isn’t here to influence which way you vote, but one thing we don’t love is voter apathy. That’s why we want to encourage as many people as possible to make their voice heard at polling stations up and down the country this year.”
The offer is valid only today at BrewDog branches throughout the UK, except for Edinburgh Airport, Waterloo Arms, and Gatwick Terminal. BrewDog’s initiative is part of a broader trend of businesses encouraging voter participation. For example, Krispy Kreme is giving away free doughnuts to voters who ask for an original glazed doughnut and say the words “I voted.”
Footie fans also have something to look forward to, as Greene King is offering a free drink to celebrate Euros 2024. By downloading the Greene King app, customers can receive a free drink on sign-up and enjoy 10% off selected drinks on matchdays throughout the summer tournament.
Aiya Zhussupova reported in The Sun that shoppers can claim their free pints by simply showing a selfie outside a polling station.
Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, remarked, “It’s fantastic to see businesses like BrewDog encouraging people to vote. Initiatives like these not only add a bit of fun to Election Day but also remind us all of the importance of participating in our democracy.”
