Major lager brand offering FREE PINTS to thousands of fans if England win the Euros – how to claim your beer
A MAJOR lager brand is offering thousands of supporters free pints if England wins the Euros tomorrow – here’s how to claim yours.
Tomorrow, thousands of England supporters will be downing pints as they watch the Three Lions try to win their first major trophy since 1966.
If the stakes weren’t high enough this weekend, they just got higher after Carling announced they’ll give away free pints to fans if England win in Berlin on Sunday.
However, to be eligible for the free booze supporters should visit the Carling site.
If England makes history by beating Spain in tomorrow’s final the first 2,024 fans will receive a voucher for a free pint.
The lucky winners can collect their drink at either BOXPARK Croydon, Liverpool or Wembley from Monday 15th until Sunday 21st July.
Lee Willett, Carling Brand Director at Molson Coors Beverage Company, said: “It’s going to be an incredibly exciting match on Sunday and, to kick start celebrations, if England do win we’ll be offering fans a free pint to enjoy at BOXPARK locations which can be redeemed until Sunday 21st July.
“The England fans have been through the wringer over the past few weeks, but when it’s time to celebrate we’ll be ready.
“It’s coming home!”
It comes after reports suggest the hospitality sector is heading for an estimated £800million boost because of tomorrow’s Euro final.
An estimated £120million worth of booze will be sunk on Sunday alone, with pubs expected to sell ten million more pints than usual.
But many fans will likely shun Spanish lagers such as Estrella and San Miguel to show their support for the Three Lions — who will be the underdogs in Berlin.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “As with the semi-finals, pubs will be licensed to stay open until 1am.
“That gives fans even more time to enjoy the game, support our pubs and hopefully celebrate football finally coming home.”
Tesco, Britain’s biggest supermarket, reckons it will sell four million packs of beer and cider, plus 1.2 million cans and bottles of low and zero-alcohol beer.
Nearly 2.5 million bottles of wine will be bought — and a similar amount of champagne will be snapped up by the more optimistic England supporters.
Tesco also reckons it will shift more than one million pizzas and pies while nearly 800,000 packs of sausages and 180,000 burgers will be bought for the barbecue.
Andrew Rennie, chief executive of Domino’s, said the takeaway chain expects to be making 20 to 25 pizzas a second during the game.
He said: “We’ll be pulling out all the stops that no matter how busy it gets, everyone will get their piping-hot pizza on time.”
It comes after the BBC revealed five tips to avoid a buffering nightmare as the Three Lions look to make history against Spain.
