Steel Cups

Steel Cups seem to be back. £5 deposit

[BlurryFace]

Happy days! I thought they were quite good

[Sasperella]

Yay! I can't find mine anywhere and need to decant my Wyld Wood into one during the day 

[Wakey321]

Just packed mine from last year along with my new Glastonbury enamel mug for my brew in the morning!

[fatyeti24]

we brought back three from last year's festival.  while their benefit to the festival is obvious, home use has been limited:  glass will always be the favoured vessel chez yeti.

one steel cup, however, has seen valued and purposeful employ as a scoop for the dry food that we feed the dogs.

Mine is my pint vessel of choice at home now. I find drinking out of it rather pleasing. Plus, the beer stays colder longer. Will definitely pick up another one this year.

[AmyShambles]

We brought 2 home last year and they stayed, amongst other stuff, in the boot of my car until about 4 weeks ago.  Been used a lot since at home since then.  To be honest, I only had a couple of beers out of them at the festival last year as every pint I got seemed to be completely flat.  Not sure if it was the cup or the beer though.

Just packed mine, with the lanyard and all  haven't used it since last year but it is a nice thing to take home

Where did you get the lanyard for it from? I heard about them last year but didn't find any. Went to the bar in the Park to get the cup though.

I had forgotten i had one, but found mine yesterday stuffed in a welly

[ripcurl85]

I've used mine a fair bit after last year's festival. Seems to keep lager in particular colder than a glass and is rather pleasing to drink out of. Happy to see that they are making a return.

I swear I didn't come across a single one on any bar I bought pints from last year...

Which bars were using them because I'd like to get one this year?

I got mine in The Bimble Inn. I think they were mostly found in the Park last year, but perhaps they'll expand it this year.

Bimble Inn for the lanyard. Had to specifically ask for it, got mine Thursday afternoon! Think it was maybe a quid? Not sure if they ran out at all later.

Available in more than half the bars this year!

Cool thank you, that was the only annoying part of them but a lanyard would solve my laziness issues completely

Got my lanyard and fluffy holders (great to stop your hands getting FREEZING with the cold beverage) from the WaterAid stand next to the ribbon tower.

[Hawros]

I love mine. Will be leaving them at home and purchasing more from the farm next week (!).

[dimus]

Are they plain or engraved? Cool idea either way and I'll definitely be purchasing one. 

[marathonsteve]

I was working in the Park Bar Area last year selling them but there wasn't any lanyards

[When Jokers Attack]

Will need to get one, forgot/didn't see them last year.,

Great info, thanks. I looked last year but couldn't find the fluffy bits anywhere.
