Pub chain's 6p a pint plan outlawed so it's giving away beer instead

A pub and brewery chain's offer to sell a pint for just 6p has been banned - so it is giving away the beer. Greene King planned to sell pints of its popular IPA for just 6p each to mark the Queen's Coronation in 1952, the equivalent price of 70 years ago.

For one day only, Greene King Local Pubs planned to offer the tempting beer deal across its 408 sites to celebrate the jubilee. However, the promotion has been outlawed because of restrictions under the Licensing Act.

So now anyone visiting a Greene King Local Pub or a Flaming Grill site today (Monday, May 30) will be able to claim a pint of Greene King’s IPA free of charge - just by using the secret code word ‘1952’ at the bar.
