UNCOVERED: Free beer being handed out as pints drunk during world cup will drop this year | History Defined

The number of pints purchased during this year’s World Cup is expected to fall by 30% compared to 2018, according to VoucherCodes’ World Cup 2022 Spending report. The total number of pints sold is expected to reach 65.3 million over the course of this year’s tournament – down 26.7 million compared to 2018.

To help ease the burden on fans – many of whom will watch England take on Iran at 1pm on Monday, November 21, while at work – VoucherCodes On Tap ale-mergency beer delivery unit will hand out free Wolfpack pints.

Ex-England legend, Ray Parlour, who has teamed up with VoucherCodes for its On Tap service, said: “Fans love to get behind the Three Lions and enjoy a drink or two while watching the game. But rising costs are taking their toll, and this tournament is going to feel different to the rest, not least with our first game kicking off on a Monday lunchtime whilst many people are at work.
