An average of four pubs per day are closing in the UK this year due to rising taxes and business rates.
To support local pubs nationwide and encourage maximum footfall, The Telegraph has launched National Pub Day coming up this Saturday (May 16).
As part of this campaign, The Telegraph has teamed up with Renegade Brewery to create its own ‘Telegraph Ale,’ a classic English bitter.
This limited-edition brew will be served free at 300 pubs across the country this weekend.
Punters will be able to claim a free pint when they log in or register for a free Telegraph account.
In Sussex, seven pubs will be serving free pints of Telegraph Ale. You can see the participating pubs in our gallery below.
