People in Oxford will be able to grab a free pint whilst England play in the Rugby World Cup 2023, courtesy of Greene King.

Brits are predictable creatures of habit - especially when the international sport is on - and will stick to the same trusted tipple.

Some 64% of pubgoers order the same drink every time they visit their local, Greene King claims.

However, when it comes to changing pub habits, more than a third of drinkers (32%) say that a new sports tournament, like the upcoming rugby, is a great reason to try a new swift one. 

Well, now's your chance.

Luckily for rugby fans, the pub company and brewer is offering a free pint of Greene King IPA to those visiting a Greene King Sport pub to coincide with the group stages of the upcoming international tournament to tempt fans into sampling a new drink.

The free drink is available via the Greene King Sport app, with the brand’s flagship Greene King IPA even being renamed to ‘Try’-PA during the first weekend of the tournament.  

Here are the four Greene King pubs in Oxford:

  • Wig & Pen
  • Turf Tavern
  • Jude the Obscure
  • Duke of Monmouth

Other Greene King pubs around Oxfordshire can be found here.

To claim the offer, fans will need to download the Greene King Sport app and register their email, before using the 10% off code within the app to purchase a drink in a Greene King Sport pub during the first England, Scotland or Wales game.

A free pint of Greene King Try-PA will then be dropped into their basket on Monday, 11 September, which can be redeemed in Greene King sports pubs during any live sports fixture before 11.59 pm on Monday, 18 September. 

As well as free drinks offers, the Greene King Sport app gives users 10% off a range of drinks for an hour before, during and an hour after selected live sports events in participating pubs.

Michelle West, Head of Marketing for Greene King Sport said: “We know pub goers are creatures of habit, and while you might have a favourite local – and even a favourite seat inside – a new sports tournament is a great opportunity to try a new drink.
