Punch has teamed up with Heineken to offer customers a free pint.

Up to 900 pubs are taking part in the promotion, which covers the Strongbow Original, John Smith’s Extra Smooth and Kronenbourg 1664 brands.

The offer, which runs between August 15 and 28, will see 80,000 pints given away.

“We are pleased to announce our second free pint promotion for 2016, following on from our hugely successful offer in May where over 13,000 pints were redeemed across 850 pubs,” Stephen Martin, category manager at Punch, said.

“This promotion is clearly a useful tool for publicans to reach out to their communities, and encourage new customers into the pubs with 99% of publicans surveyed who took part in the previous free promotion saying they would be willing to take part in similar activity. Also, of those surveyed, 61% said that they found that new customers came to their pub thanks to the promotion.”

Customers are required to visit www.freedrinkpubs.co.uk where they can sign up and receive an email with instructions on how to receive their voucher and redeem their free pint.
