Football fans in Aberdeen can score a free pint in Greene King pubs ahead of Scotland’s Euro 2024 opener against Germany next Friday.

However, they’ll need a secret pass-phrase to net the pre-match refreshment.

It will allow those based around King Street, Westhill and Nigg to claim a wide range of drinks including pints of Level Head and Flint Eye beer, as well as ciders, spirits, and soft drinks.

To claim the complimentary drink, fans only need to go up to the bar of their local and proudly state “for pub and country.”

The Brig O’ Don, the Wellington Hotel and Westhill’s the Shepherd’s Rest will all be participating in the offer.

However, those interested in a free pint will need to be quick as the offer will only be available between 6pm and 7pm before kick-off at 8pm on June 14.

Michelle West, head of sport at Greene King, said: “This summer at Greene King we’re hosting the nation, something we’ve been doing for over 200 years.

“Whether Scotland win, lose, or draw come the end of the tournament, we know that there’s nothing we all love more than throwing our support behind our home teams and what better way to kickstart the celebrations than by enjoying a free drink?

“So, head into participating Greene King pubs on Friday 14 and say the secret code phrase – ‘For Pub and Country’ – at the bar to claim your free drink.”
