Carling isn't bad when its been left in a tent to be honest.

[Com Truise]

Sorry, I should of expanded! I'm not sure what beer tastes nice after sitting in a tent for a few days all warm and flat. Not a big drinker really so I've never got to a point where I have to drink warm beer.

[Duw13]

I don't even like Carling when it's cold, so I'd hate to have to drink it warm lol. Think it's spirits all the way for me this year.

[Andre91]

Just a question for you guys, am I right that you aren't allowed any glass bottles, such as Budweiser etc?

[lightning1000]

No glass at all. They sell bud in cans though. If you're taking spirits then pour them into an empty plastic bottle beforehand.

[Liam1082]

Few cans down the pants should be alright? aha

[The Placid Casual]

If you want cold cans, leave a few under your tent at night

[The Placid Casual]

Forget getting cans into the arena, it's pointless. You'll most probably get caught out before you go in, and if not, security inside will confiscate it. Invest in a couple of hip flasks instead (but obviously don't fill them with beer). They'll do the trick

[prettywaste]

for getting drink into the arena buy a couple of the screw cap caprisuns. Fill them with vodka/whiskey/whatever you like. Easier to hide than a hip flask as less bulky, will hold more drink, and can fold up when youre done or throw away.

Guinness. Or canned ale. Far nicer at moderate temperatures than warm lager.

[devilman]

This thread makes me want to say "bless". I feel really old now. I shall be taking a shit load of cans of cidre and whatever lager is cheap at the time. I've got a fancy cool box that should keep it cold for 4 days. We live in Speyside so always take a bottle of malt for any guests that we get or neighbours we impose ourselves on

I've never tried to smuggle booze in, usually cos I'm half naked walking in and have no where to hide it. My pals had 50/50 success with those screw top pouch things but to be honest you can't beat a fresh cold pint so I take the 4 quid hit every time. I just try not to think about how much it's all costing me.

[Babyquack]

Canned ale isn't bad, but Guinness is a huuuuuuge no no. Overpriced shite is what it is

[Com Truise]

Shite? Overpriced? I'm not sure I want to know what you actually find nice... It's more expensive because it's far superior to anything else on the market.

ale is nicer straight from a can, guinness really needs to be poured into a glass. Still better than warm lager

18 cans of Bud for £12 in Sainsburys. Get on it

Edited August 13, 2013 by luckysalt

[Com Truise]

I made my werther's vodka last night - 10/10 from me, it tastes brilliant! Nice to drink straight too, tastes a bit like Baileys with more of a kick, definitely recommend making it

[The Placid Casual]

Just had another look, this deal has finished already

And heads up Tesco's beer offers I posted up on page 4 all end today

ANOTHER EDIT - The Sainsburys deal has changed from 18 Bud for £12 to 18 Stella for £12.
