A PUB chain is offering a free pint of beer to all its customers to mark the start of Euro 2020.
To celebrate the reopening of pubs across the country, Greene King is offering a free pint of its own pale ale - Ice Breaker - on Friday, June 11.
The offer will be available at 1,000 participating pubs nationwide - including Greene King's venues in Colchester.
The chain has three pubs in the town - The Camulodunum, in High Street, the King's Arms, in Crouch Street, and the Rovers Tye, in Ipswich Road.
No vouchers or downloads are needed, simply utter the words ‘Your home of pub sport’ to the bar staff and you’ll be provided with a refreshing pint in readiness to watch the match at your favourite local.
The passphrase is also featured exclusively in Greene King’s video campaign ’24 Nations’ featuring footballing heroes, Jamie Redknapp, Ally McCoist and Ashley Williams – who each represent the participating home nations in the competition.
The film shows fans arguing over who will win the tournament and takes a look back on legendary moments from previous years.
Chris Conchie, head of sport at Greene King, said: “With an exciting summer of sport in front of us, we can’t wait to welcome our customers back to our pubs to enjoy watching sport with us once again.
“We’ve all been forced to watch sport from home but we know our pubs are your home away from home when it comes to sport.
"We want to celebrate by giving each and every one of our customers a free pint of Ice Breaker.
"The ultimate, unfiltered, refreshing pale ale - bursting with fruity hop characters.
"We’re looking forward to seeing you all soon."
You should book a table before your visit to ensure you've got a seat for the game.
All Greene King venues are operating a table-only service during the Euros tournament up until planned easing of restrictions on June 21, subject to Government announcements.
This is to continue to comply with Covid regulations to ensure all customers are kept safe.
