Who in their right mind pays £6 for a can? Especially with the festival allowing people to bring cans in. Cold crisp pints a different matter but lukewarm cans at a premium is a nonsense.

Exactly. A cold full pint, fair enough. But a scabby can you can bring yourself, no chance!

I bought a round of cans of Carlsberg at Strummerville on the Wednesday last year, after a day of heat and walking up that hill I honestly think it’s the best beer I’ve ever bought because they were ice cold. I agree I’d rather buy a pint but if I’m at a bar and it only had cans I will buy them as I’d take cold over my warm tent beers anyday plus I don’t go back to the tent once I leave and can’t be arsed carrying cans around all day

The cans at Arcadia are always ice cold, whenever I've bought them.

Somewhere as busy as Arcadia cans do make sense to be fair, easier to dance holding a can than trying to balance a pint

F**king crap. 15 quid for a glass of wine at Parklife? 

I didn't want to bring anything in but now I'm thinking I'll have to pick up a crate of cider or something just to counterbalance the bar prices.

2 quid for a can of water? Surely, water is free on site anyway?

Not really that unreasonable. It says they also do free water at the bottom

Ah, hadn't read that bit. Why would anyone buy a can of water for two quid when it's free at the bar, or you can just take your own from all the taps?

Was thinking maybe like a multi use refillable (sexily branded) plastic sports type bottle - I’ve no idea mind just curious.

Case shut now. Cheers for posting!

Brooklyn 4.0 = Carlsberg

[Flying_Hellfish]

Yep watered down version, even vs the cans at Arcadia?

Any ideas of the 0.5% thing top left? Going sober this year so on the look out for low/no alcohol drinks (aside from softs)

Rough and ready reckoner based on unit prices - best value (ie. cheapest way to get sozzled!) is Burrow Hill at £2.11 per unit.

 

[gooner1990]

San Miguel for me then. 

[Drinky]

Hobgoblin 🤮

[brettredmayne]

Never understood why spirit prices are so high when we can take spirits in 

[mungo57]

Looks like Burrow Hill for the bang for my buck

[hurdy]

Bugger. Was really hoping for Brooklyn Pilsner to be the real deal this year and be readily available. Bollocksed if I'm paying that for a watered down version, will be back to the usual pints in T&C Bar and a San Miguel when I'm passing Bread and Roses.

Actually looks like the cans might be the one for the Brooklyn, 4.6% on that Arcadia pic. 

Same for San Miguel though - San remo have always had it too

[Alvoram]

Since when have Brooklyn done a 4% Pilsner? Thought it was 4.6%

Are we sure that's not a typo?

They've created a watered down one (i.e. rebadged Carlsberg).

Pretty sure someone in here was talking about it several days ago.
