Various drinks on the bar in a pub

Discover drinks near you for every occasion

Whether you fancy a classic pint with mates, an easy-drinking session beer after work, or something a little more adventurous, Greene King pubs offer a line-up of drinks near you that’s as welcoming as the pub chair you’re about to sink into.

Here, we take the art of drinking seriously. After all, a pint, a glass of wine or fizz, a soft drink or non-alcoholic beverage is supposed to taste like relaxation. Pull up a stool and let’s talk about what you’ll find on tap and in your glass.

Classic cask ales to get started

Let’s start with the legend: our cask ales. These are the drinks that have made pub afternoons worth lingering in for decades.

Greene King IPA is one of our flagship cask pours: crisp, clean, and refreshing, with a perfectly balanced hop character that’s easy to enjoy whether you’re watching the match or escaping a long day in our restaurant.

Then there’s Abbot Ale, a deeper, maltier brew with a rich flavour that feels like a hug from an old friend. It’s the sort of pint that makes you forget about your worries.
And let’s not forget Ice Breaker, our unfiltered pale ale that's bright, breezy and just the kind of beer that goes down too easily.

Discover some new favourites

Drinks near you don’t need to be the same round again and again. Why not feast your eyes and taste buds on some of the other beers on our menu? Our portfolio is perfect for when you want something with a bit more character or punch.

Take Maltsmiths Lager: dry-hopped and refreshing with clean citrus and pine resin notes that make every sip feel like a mini celebration. It’s crisp and straight to the point; a true crowd-pleaser.
If hops are calling your name, Maltsmiths IPA brings double-hopped citrus and tropical fruit flavours balanced by pale and crystal malts.

Then there’s Deuchars. Rich in character with aromatic citrus notes and solid gold colour, it’s a pint that makes you appreciate traditional brewing with a modern twist. And of course Ruddles Best, with its hoppy soft fruit aromas and a satisfying bitter finish.
These drinks make every visit to our bars feel like a mini beer festival (without the wristband).

Craft beer for curious palates

Greene King might be built on tradition, but we’re not afraid to try something new. Our craft beer range blends rich brewing heritage with fresh, exciting flavour profiles designed for curious drinkers.

Hazy Day is our smooth, fruit-forward hazy IPA with orange, citrus and tropical notes. Prior Life is lighter, easy drinking and breezy with mellow tropical and citrus aroma — perfect for long evenings with great company.

Then there’s Level Head, a well-executed session IPA that gives you hop satisfaction without the heaviness. And Flint Eye, a dry-hopped lager with subtle citrus and pine notes. It’s a crisp and refreshing option if you want something a little different.

Don't forget to browse our alcohol-free drinks as well. They're just as good, and you get to cheer all night long!

Seasonal specials and limited edition drinks

When you think you’ve tried everything, our seasonal range pops up like a surprise encore. From fruity mocktails in the spring to rich winter warmers when the nights draw in, these limited releases keep your pub pint experience fresh.

When the sun's out, you might spot a citrusy spritz built for beer garden afternoons. Think limoncello topped with bubbles and plenty of ice, or tropical, alcohol-free coolers mixing pineapple and soda for easy daytime sipping. Even fruit-forward ciders sometimes step into the spotlight, with peach and raspberry flavours bringing a laid-back, sunshine-ready vibe.

When the seasons change, so do the flavours. Summer spritzes make way for deeper, spiced serves and comforting classics, so there’s always something different to discover rather than the same line-up all year round. And don't forget, our deals make sipping on your favourites even sweeter!

Beyond the beer

Of course, drinks near you don’t have to mean beer alone. Our pubs pour a genuinely broad range, whether you’re in the mood for something celebratory or something simple.

Take wine, for example. You might start with a crisp Italian Pinot Grigio or a zesty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc bursting with citrus and tropical fruit, perfect with lighter dishes or sunny afternoons. Prefer something richer? A smooth Giotto Merlot or juicy Argentine Malbec brings dark berry flavours that pair beautifully with hearty pub classics, while a chilled Pinot Grigio Blush or White Zinfandel rosé lands somewhere happily in the middle.

Then there’s the fizz. Prosecco for a casual toast, sparkling rosé for a celebratory brunch, or champagne when the occasion calls for it (or when you simply decide it does). Even Freixenet 0% sparkling wine mean nobody misses out on the cheers.

Not drinking alcohol? You’re still spoilt for choice. Heineken 0.0, Kopparberg alcohol-free, Peroni 0.0, soft drinks and crafted alternatives make great companions to lunch or midweek meet-ups.
And sometimes the easiest decision is the right one. A classic gin and tonic, a rum on the rocks, or a warm tea will sort you right out. No overthinking required.

Whether it’s wine with dinner, fizz for celebrations, cocktails to kick off the evening or a refreshing alcohol-free option in the sun, there’s always something behind the bar that hits the spot.

 

The pub with the perfect pour is waiting

So next time you’re thirsty for drinks near you, remember our pubs are the place to make every moment count. Now all that’s left to do is pull up a chair and choose your adventure. Cheers!
