Bearded Theory 2018

Am I the only one who hates real ales? I don't drink cider either!

With 2 lagers on this list, one of them being Carling, so only one lager really, I'll be bringing my own as usual

I went through the list to see what each was like and there are 3 lager type drinks on the selection (I don't include Carling as sh**e!

Apparently Woodland bar as different ones but don't know which as not been before

Lukas	4.2% Helles Lager	Traditional, elegant Bavarian style of beer originating in Munich. Lukas is straw blonde, full-bodied yet sparklingly light.
Tzara	4.8% Koln Style Beer	Hybrid beer, fermented like an ale but matured like a lager. A broad, almost fruity palate with some bready notes. A crisp, refreshing beer.
Duara Damm	5.4% Gluten Free	Like Estrella as same brewery but gluten free

Looks like a good selection!

Do you know what are the bar queues like? And do they sell out of ales/ ciders quickly? Thinking of minimising my take-in...

 

Never really seen a queue but I only wander in a few times as I mostly take my own.

Lukas is fan bloody tastic and was my drink of choice last year. Very curious to try Tzara and Duara Damm this year!

I’ve joined the mailing list but for some reason haven’t had the email come through? Any chance of copying/pasting it on here? 

EDIT: Don’t worry. Found it on the website. I wonder what Alpaca & Magic Teapot are. All sounds really interesting

Yeah buzzing now, 3 weeks Thursday! I was intrigued with Alpaca too - well interesting.

Had me tent out last week for an airing, the beer buying has begun and its May - not too long now.

There is one potential problem. I'd forgotten they'd switched Champions League finals to Saturdays.

Not counting my chickens and all that but BLOODY HELL!

All those times I've scorned at England fans for wanting to watch football at Glastonbury. I might be using a lot of data (if I can get a signal) before Robert Plant comes on. Or finding a camper van with a telly.

Not expecting to win like, but why that Saturday? Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

This is now guaranteed to result in Roma pulling off the come back tomorrow night.

Is there a BeardedTheoryWatch account we can ask if they're showing the footy?

I wouldn't want them to put it on anywhere though, I don't think the two things should mix but aaaaarrrggghhhh.

Robert Plant but it might be over by then. 

I'll make a bit of an effort to see if I can watch it but really I'm resigned to missing the final, I'll just have to keep track on my phone. We'll probably lose anyway.

Well yeah, but that doesn't count. I don't frequent FB, are there many selling? I suspect a few Liverpool fans may be.

In not entirely unrelated news, I see the festival Cast were due to headline on the night of the final was cancelled the day after Liverpool qualified. I'm sure it's not related but conspiracy theories abound.

Good job they didn't book Echo and The Bunnymen.

I'm guessing that part of what had them change the date was the ability to change the date. If they'd been playing a festival and couldn't alter the date, they might perhaps have still played.
