Pub chain Greene King is expanding its partnership with food waste app Too Good To Go - and you’ll be able to buy discount beer.
Punters can purchase a 'Magic Pints' bag containing four pints of excess cask ale via the popular app for just £5.75.
This works out at around £1.44 a pint - and you’re saving the booze from being tipped down the drain.
Greene King first trialled its “Magic Pints” bags in the 2021 lockdown but it is now extending it across its pubs.

The partnership with Too Good To Go is currently active in around 650 boozers. This will grow to around 900 further pubs throughout 2022.
Too Good To Go lets people buy surplus food and drink through its app to stop it from going to waste.
Greene King has two venues in Edinburgh - McCowans Brewhouse on Dundee Street and The Cuddie Brae on Newcraighall Road - but unfortunately the discount does not apply in Scotland.
Andy Wilson MBE, managing director of Greene King’s Destination Food Brands pubs said: “Reducing waste is really important to us, so this is a brilliant way to stop great cask ale being thrown away needlessly.
“It’s so easy to just check the app, see what’s available nearby, buy it and then go and pick it up. It’s good for the customer, it’s good for the pub and it’s good for the planet.”
