Can't guarantee all the bars, but it should be on some of the main ones.

Oooh!  Proper falling down water.  Nice to have the insider info!

Wth any luck you'll find hobgoblin on the main bars this year....

sorry I cant work out where your getting you information from as the Main Bars are run by the WBC and all the beer contracts were signed ages ago and there has been no mention of hobgoblin .

Sure they may be in the independent bars but they are not the main bars at Glastonbury

Edit: too much info.

We have a route to market, if you look at the list of beer suppliers, wychwood wont be on it, that doesn't mean our beer won't be there.

absolutely with you on that one, i'm just really discovering a taste for ale in the last year or so (i'm in my early 20's) and it can be brilliant if done right.

we have some great stuff up here in leeds from the leeds brewery, pale and best. You must try it if you're ever in leeds, quality stuff.

Indeed - Pilton Pop is a decent golden ale for a good 5 or 6 through the evening

Avalon & (what was) The Red Flag have loads (up to 10 or more)decent ales.

Roll on a couple of weeks.

i often find festival beers very cold, which could well be  why there isn't as much flavour.

Yes its true that a pint bought at a festival will be colder than many Pubs but this is on the advice of the Brewery

check out some of the images at

http://www.wbc-team....ing-2007-2.html

as you can see how much equipment is used to try and pour a pint .

in a perfect world every pint would be poured on the spot but with such large demand we have to use MDU's so the temperature is set assuming the pint may stand for a few seconds { which could be a few minuets }

You just cant win as some people will complain its too cold and others will complain its too warm.

There's compromise on the mass production of any food or drink stuff and paper or plastic cups do make a difference.  FWIW I think that the bars at Glasto do a decent job of it.

Agreed - as good, if not better, than many pubs, in fact.

Cold is good, especially when it's scorchio!

Too Cold is definitely better than not cold enough IMO.

Agreed, much better to be colder, at least you can wait for it to warm up a little, in reality never lasts long enough.
