GREENE King has axed plans to sell 6p pints to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee – and will be giving them out for FREE instead.
The pub chain announced this morning that it would be offering pints for just pennies for one day only on Monday, 30 May.
It said customers can get a pint for the same price it cost in 1952, when the Queen first took the throne.
But now it will be giving out the booze for free because it is not allowed to sell pints for this price under licensing laws.
A Greene King spokesperson said: “We will now be giving the Jubilee first pint of Greene King IPA away free of charge today, as we now understand it’s not permissible under the licensing act to charge the 6p.”
Patrons can get a pint of Greene King IPA at one of the group’s 408 Local Pubs or Flaming Grill sites.
