Is there an on site shop which will sell crates? Concerned about running out...

No.

Also being in the middle of nowhere means there are no stores nearby. If you have a car I'd advise buying more and leaving it in your boot. Otherwise it'll be wise to maybe load on spirits (you can buy softdrinks on site) and stick to mixers if load is an issue

4.50 - 6.50 depending on what you're drinking

Most are around the 4.50 - 5.00 mark

I've gone for a stack of Joker IPA's and other beers from Williams Brewery in Alloa this year.  Delivered the other day and packed ready to go.  Will be complemented with plenty of rum and vodka.

Looking forward to a mulled cider in the evening, and also sampling the ales from Beavertown and the other bars on site.

For a full size can and hoppy flavour, I can think of Adnams Ghost Ship (4.5%) and Wychwood Hobgoblin Gold (4.2%).

For draught beer at the festival, head for the Beavertown bar. Their stuff will fit the bill taste-wise, especially Lupaloid, but it'll also hit your wallet I'm afraid. A slightly cheaper option might be to head for the real ale tent and look out for anything with American IPA or Citra (a punchy hop variety) in the title.

I liked the Ghost Ship in particular and will be bringing that for 'everyday' quaffing purposes. Thanks for the recommendation.

Also looking forward to visiting Beavertown during the occasional short gaps between my 'must-see' acts.
