Alcohol retailer BWS is giving out free six-packs on Friday morning as a promotion for "rare" beers.

According to the Woolworths-owned brand, it had polled thousands of Australians to figure out their favourite obscure beers from around the globe.

The result is a six-pack consisting of different beers from all corners of the world that are not commonly seen in Australian shops.

A limited number of six-packs will be given away for free from 10am on Friday October 18 at just four BWS branches: Balmain (Sydney), Brunswick (Melbourne), Wembley (Perth) and Ashgrove (Brisbane).

The pack includes beers from Japan, the small Himalayan country of Bhutan, Italy, Poland, Mexico and Germany:
