'intel'? Its not a war mate. Just bring whatever you want, searches are cursory at best. Worst comes to worst, go to the bar for your fizzy pop. 

I just get bottles of coke from the ice cream vans, easy peasy.

update: these are absolutely peng, definitely recommend

theyre only 125ml but they’re so good if you’re looking for an espresso martini in a can!

Just had the mojito from these people and it's outstanding most bar like think I've had in a can.

Looks like there's currently 20% off if you use the code 'LETSCHAT20' - 12 cans for £31.20 shipped (£2.60 each) or 24 cans for £57.60 (£2.40 each) - cheaper than anywhere else / the Tesco 4 for 3 deal!

Just took advantage of this offer cheers.

18 Stella 

Isn't that a contradiction? 😉😂

 

I'm joking of course, lots of people rate Stella highly, I just 'really really' don't like it. 🙂 

[joeltg]

Going to change it up this year with spirit and mixers, no beer or cider. 

I don't tend to get as smashed and will support the bars for the cold ones. 

Recommendations for tried and tested combinations welcome 🙂

They’re banned. Dunno if they sell cans?

If they switched to water in cans the other year I reckon other soft drinks will be in cans too

Should last me the 5 days.

If your lager is going to be warm stella is one of the better ones

Coleman full of DIPAs/Cider (water too :D), 2 bottles rum, 2 bottles vodka, 1 bottle bourbon. For 2 + friends. A cold pint from the bar as and when needed.

Seriously considering sacking off beer completely - straight spirits with that super strength squash in those squeezy bottles might be the way forward. Too many times i've needed a piss mid headline set.

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Apologies if already answered...

Can you bring plastic bottles on site with you? i.e. is the ban only for the vendors on site?

Cheers

a few cans already purchased to start off with at the tent then it’s the bars for most of the festival.

Howdy, need some guidance on how to keep herself happy. She likes her nice white wine so what tips and tricks have people got for having it relatively cool during the day??

I reckon I can keep it cool in the camper and am thinking my best bet is a Thermos flask if I chill it well overnight with ice water.

Any other suggestions welcome? I'll be on cans of cider so will survive and switch to bars in the evening.

Cheers!

I asked about bottles and beakers not long ago and got some great recommendations, including ones that people recommend for keeping things cool for as long as possible...

Hey @crazyfool1whats the boxed wine selection like in Tesco Taunton? May nip in en route.

I’m not actually sure … I work in Asda so haven’t been there in a while … it’s a decent sized store though so should be reasonable edit  @The Nal a look online gives 22 different boxed wines ....

 Vitamin T! Bloody love the stuff. It’s very rare to find it down here. One of my favourite things about heading north of the border: a pint of Tennents and a really good dram of speyside alongside it

Thanks for that - had a read so will see what I can find locally. Decathalon will probably have something to match

Freeze it before you go. Space blanket around the cooler.

We are travelling down four days before the festival starts so I reckon the Tennants won’t make it on to the farm. 😊

Think it’ll be…..

- 8 cans of Thatchers Haze
- 1 litre of dark rum 
- 2 x 500ml flavoured vodka

Currently have a Skittles one, just need to think of the other flavour. 

Bring less and less each year, prefer getting cold ones from the bar. 

How do you consume your flavoured vodka? Neat? Or mixed with something else?

Neat.

Normal procedure is a few pints/cans during the day, then switch to spirits later, in the hope I'll need to pee less! 

The vodkas are very sippable (realise that's probably not a word).

An Englishman, an irishman and a scotsman walk into a bar and the barman says "what'll it be gents"

Englishman - 'I'll have a pint of fisted goblin, 4.6 ABV, golden colour with citrus undertones"

Irishman - "I'll have a pint of Guinness and a Bushmills chaser"

Scotsman - "I'll have a er...erm...a lime and soda"

Toby and Patrick both turn to Hamish and say "you'll have what?"

Hamish - "Sorry, what were you expecting? Just because I am from Scotland you expect me to be some stereotype drunken scot? Are you expecting me to order Tenants Super and a bottle of buckfast just to live up to an outdated and untrue image of the Scots as alcoholics? Shame on you. For your information I like lime and soda. Also I am skint at the moment as I spent all my dole money on smack."
