2024 Beer Pricing?

[kemosabe]

Tbf, I think you'd pay about that in any major city these days. Let alone somewhere like London

[Memory Man]

Some of those prices are kind of ok, some are a total joke

The shocker is the Diet Coke... Gone are the days of carrying spirits and buying cold soft drinks to save money... Costs you much more now than buying pints... 

£3 for a half!!!

[theciderviking]

This years “per unit” calculation, Burrow Hill being the cheapest option if you want to get pissed without breaking the bank! 🍻

Who does the cheapest cocktails on site? Asking for a friend. 

[al_coholic]

Both the Brooklyn Lager and Brooklyn Stonewall Inn IPA watered down from the high street product, and yet still stupidly expensive.

How much is a beer at a US festival?

 

I was at an Aussie festival a lot of years ago and that wasn’t hugely worse price wise than a decent bar in a city centre, but you could only drink it in a marked alcohol zone and couldn’t take it in front of a stage.
 

Snuck in a bottle of rum, obvs, I’m not an idiot!

More expensive for a pint than at Download is it?

I'm sure last year Burrow Hill had a markup in bars other than their own, so we may see it at £6 at the cider bus.

 This is from last month at Just Like Heaven which is a smaller fest. And Coachella. But yeah, I laugh cause ya'll think thats expensive for glasto. Beer cost is pretty consistent across most fests here btw.

Presume you also have to whack a tip onto those prices as well?

5p more, I think.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair enough I think that the budget can absorb that.

Heineken silver is a 4% ‘more accessible option’ they’ve made - sounds fairly dreadful, but any port in a storm I guess.
Coors is absolutely undrinkable slop, I wouldn’t clean my sink out with that 😁Blue moon FTW by default! 
 

US$19 is £15 btw, for interested parties. Sobriety seems a hell of a lot more appealing all of a sudden

Not round here.  £5 is an expensive pint.

Jesus, £15 a pint. Makes £6.50 for a pint of cider a bit more palatable

You dont live in a major city then im

guessing 😂

[LeFreak]

Is there much variety of pints available throughout the festival or will most bars just stock the Brooklyn Lager and Brothers Cider? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's some variation, but what's been posted from the Village Inn seems fairly standard.

[balti-pie]

I could get behind $19 pints if it was knock your bollocks off excellent stuff - I’m thinking Heady topper, Pliny the Elder type 10% monsters - proper decent bang for my (many) bucks. Not for standard slop though, no siree

Yeah. But its changed quite a bit with just cashless at most u.s festivals. If youre paying with cash then just dropping your change would be easy. They just put the screen up and has percentages or custom amounts. But easily it would be $50 for 2 drinks and people wonder where their money goes. When you could pay wirh cash I would buy a water and drop a dollar in the tip jar. Doesnt happen anymore now.

Since when was Derby a major city Dave.

Is the Burrow Hill cider exactly the same at the other bars as the cider bus, or is it a keggy equivalent?

[CaledonianGonzo]

In plastic kegs isn't it?
