Craft Union celebrates 10th anniversary with a 10,000 free drinks giveaway 

• Craft Union pub company to give away 10,000 free drinks today (14th May)

• The pubco will also be donating 10p per pint sale to over 600 local causes across the nation

• One lucky guest will leave their local pub as the winner of £10,000

Community pub company, Craft Union, is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving away a massive 10,000 free drinks today.

Lucky guests will receive one free drink on Wednesday 14th May, where they can choose from a tantalising selection of a pint of Birra Moretti, a single Gordons and mixer, or a regular glass Coca-Cola product such as Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Diet Coke, or Schweppes Lemonade.

It’s simple, all you have to do is turn up and ask for your free drink at one of Craft Union’s 637 pubs! But be quick, as guests are set to storm through the drinks in no time at all!

But the celebrations don’t stop there. Known for being at the heart of their communities, Craft Union are also raising money for local causes, donating 10p from every pint sold today — with a total of £20,000 expected to be raised. Each individual pub will choose their own local cause to donate to.

And if that wasn’t enough, one lucky guest will walk away from their local a whopping £10,000 richer with a huge cash giveaway up for grabs.

Every pint purchased on the day will come with a QR code that gives guests the chance to enter the big anniversary giveaway. The winner will be contacted the following day — so all it takes is one pint to be in with a shot!

Since Craft Union opened its first site back in 2015, the Market Tavern in Stoke-on-Trent, the pubco has grown from strength to strength. Fast forward ten years, and the total amount of Craft Union pubs now stands at a huge 637, with this number only set to grow higher.

Frazer Grimbleby, Managing Director at Craft Union, said: “We’re proud to be marking our 10th anniversary today with three initiatives to give back to our guests as a thank you for how they have supported Craft Union over the last decade.

“We’re delighted to have raised more than one million pounds for local causes in the last 12 months, and we are incredibly grateful to our guests for their unwavering support and enthusiasm in raising funds for charities – so what better way to show our appreciation than a drink on us!

“Make sure you get yourself down to your local Craft Union pub on Wednesday to claim your one free drink while stocks last, we’re expecting the nation to get through 10,000 drinks in no time at all!”

Craft Union is the UK’s fastest-growing pub company with 78 pubs opening in the last 12 months alone – that’s a new Craft Union pub opening just over every four days for a whole year.

Each individual pub prides themselves on great value drinks, community values, and a strong weekly events schedule, placing themselves at the heart of local areas up and down the country.

Community is at the core of everything Craft Union stands for – and over the past year alone, its pubs have collectively raised £1 million for local causes. With every site playing its part, the pub company now has its sights set on raising another £1 million by this time next year.
