THOUSANDS OF FREE OAT FLAT WHITES TO BE GIVEN OUT IN BRISTOL
Oatly kicks off its biggest sampling tour ever in Bristol, handing out 20,000 free coffees to passers-by across the UK
London, 12 March 2025: Oatly, the world’s original and largest oat drink company, kick starts its national sampling tour in Bristol next week, handing out thousands of free flat whites to celebrate the great taste of Oatly Barista Edition.
Popping up in Bristol for a five-day period, the Oatly sampling van will appear at Castle Court Sainsbury’s between the 17th-19th of this month, and in Bristol’s Millenium Square 20th-21st March.
Passers-by can come down to enjoy the great taste of Oatly, picking up a free oat flat white at either venue, one of over 20,000 being handed out nationwide.
It comes as a recent blind taste test*, where participants were asked to try an oat drink coffee and a cow’s milk coffee, suggests that potentially up to four times as many consumers prefer the taste of coffee with oat drink than currently purchase it. This indicates that tens of millions of people could be missing out on a tastier coffee experience every day.
In response, Oatly is touring the length of the country in March and April and parking up in key cities (from Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds to Glasgow) to hand out free Oatly flat whites to those who may never have had the opportunity to try it before.
Additional cafe collaborations will also appear in each city, including Bristol favourites, Society between 24th – 28th March and Dareshack between 31st March – 4th April, where hundreds of free oat coffees will be handed out on a first come first served basis.
Filip Nilsson, Executive Creative Director at Oatly explains, “People love Oatly in their coffee, they just don’t know it yet! Our blind taste tests showed there are potentially millions of people missing out on a first-class taste experience, so we’regoing on a journey to sample delicious Oatly coffees to people across the UK who may never have had the chance to try it before – proving what we know to be true. Our oat drinks taste delicious!
As well as being dairy and soy free, Oatly’s core range benefit from the inherent goodness of fibrous oats and contain vitamins and minerals including calcium, riboflavin, vitamins B12 and D. They are low in salt and saturated fats and do not contain added sugar, sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilisers, colours, or flavours. Best of all, they have a consistently lower climate impact than comparable cow’s milk1.
