Fullers is offering free pints of its iconic London Pride beer whenever the heavens open.
The promotion is part of the Chiswick-based brewery’s #WhenItRainsItPours Twitter campaign.
The beer's Twitter account is live-streaming the weather from a street in London.
Weatherman Michael Fish predicts rain with occasional beers
In all my years as a weatherman I’ve never seen it rain beer
And if it starts to rain, followers can tweet the account with the the hashtag #WhenItRainsItPours and London Pride will reply with a code that can be exchanged for a free pint in any Fuller’s pub.
The company has signed up former BBC weatherman Michael Fish to help with its PR stunt.
Mr Fish, who infamously assured viewers the 1987 hurricane would not happen, said: “I’ve seen some very rare atmospheric phenomena, but even in all my years as a weatherman, I’ve never seen it rain beer.”
Fullers are offering thirsty Londoners a free pint it rains in the capital
London Pride fan Luke Dyson was quick to take advantage of some light drizzle in the capital.
He tweeted: “Cheers! And thanks Michael Fish. Let’s do a rain dance!”
According to Mrs Fish’s latest forecast, it is most likely to rain on Thursday, Saturday and next Monday and Tuesday.

The offer ends on Tuesday 28 so the next seven days are the last chance for beer lovers to pick up a pint on the house.
Fuller’s have brewed beer at Chiswick for more than 350 years and have more than 380 pubs, inns and hotels across London and the south of England.
