Scottish craft beer company 'Brewdog' has brought back its promotion of offering a free pint of its Punk IPA beer to anyone who casts their ballot in the UK general election on Thursday, footage from Brewdog's Soho branch in London shows.

Brewdog will offer the free pint to anyone that shows the staff a selfie of themselves outside a polling station, while postal voters can claim their free pint by showing their postal registration confirmation email to any of the 50 Brewdog pubs across the UK.

The campaign, called #Votepunk, started at the 2017 general elections. Manager of the Brewdog Soho branch said that campaign was so successful, we gave out thousands of pints, over one thousand in this pub alone, that we thought that we had to bring it back this year. He said that the public had urged the company to bring back the campaign for the 2019 election.

Polling stations opened at 07:00 GMT in 650 constituencies across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Results are expected to start coming in after polls close at 22:00 GMT.

This is the UK's third general election in less than five years.

Outside view of famous Belfast Europa Hotel

I'm on Belfast's 'Golden Mile'. I'm on the very busy Great Victorian Street and I'm here to visit what is arguably one of Belfast's best known hotels. This is the iconic Belfast Europa. It has the unfortuanet claim to faim of being the world's most bombed hotel. For some strange reason the IRA during their terror campaign of the 1970s and 80s especially appear to have had some extreme umbridge against the Europa. They left bomb after bomb outside it. more often than hot the ir were no windows/glass in the front of the building. how it survived is anyone's guess. The Europa was a well known place of refuge for many cross the water and foreign correspondents reporting on out troubles so maybe the IRA were trying to annoy them. Who knows. Thankfully the Europa is still here.
The World Famous Europa Hotel in Belfast is located in the heart of Belfast City Centre.
With a choice of 272 hotel rooms in Belfast City Centre – including 92 Executive Bedrooms and Suites. The elegant décor, contemporary bistro, bustling bar and relaxing piano bar lounge make the four star Europa Hotel the hotel of choice for business and leisure guests visiting Belfast.
Due to its prime location, the Europa Hotel is a short distance from many of Belfast’s top visitor attractions including the Ulster Museum, Grand Opera House, City Hall, Titanic Belfast, the Waterfront Hall and the Odyssey Arena.
