In honour of the Queen’s upcoming Platinum Jubilee, one of the UK’s largest pub chains is offering up pints for just 6p today, Monday 30 May.
To kick off the monarch’s 70th-anniversary celebrations, Greene King Local Pubs is taking its prices back to the 50s.
For one day only, its fan-favourite IPA is available to purchase over the bar for just 6p a pint – the same price it cost in 1952 when the Queen’s coronation took place.
It’s a great deal for any self-respecting ale lover looking to save a few pennies – but be warned, you’ll need to know the secret code to get your hands on one.
Dozens of pubs right across Leeds and West Yorkshire are taking part in the one-day-only offer.
So, how exactly do you claim a 6p pint then? Well, all you’ll need to do is head on up to the bar at any participating Greene King sites and say the password “1952”.

Anyone visiting a Greene King Local Pub or a Flaming Grill site on Monday 30 May will be able to claim a 6p pint of Greene King’s IPA by speaking the magic words.
Speaking on the special offer, Andrew Gallagher, Marketing Director at Greene King Local Pubs, said: “The Platinum Jubilee is a fantastic way for the U.K. to come together and celebrate our Queen and country, so we wanted to take our customers back to where it all began– 1952, a time when Vera Lynn ruled the charts and pints were only 6p.
“Some of our regulars may even remember watching the coronation back in 1952, although they may have been too young to enjoy a pint then.
