Brothers Bar

[Pinhead]

How are two brothers bars an monopoly?

From what I can remember there are more than one wine bar, and then the main bars which were run by Tuborg (Carlsberg) and there are loads of them dotted around, including one in the Jazz / World field.

Lemon, every time. Just gutted you can't get it outside the fest.

Would 2 spots help the crowds? I, like a lot of people it seems, sacked it off from the Thursday onwards, but it didn't stop hoards of others, never seen it that busy. I think it must be something to do with the publicity they generated over the year preceding the fest by selling their product in pubs & shops.

Selling the strong stuff in all bars may help, but I believe for some reason there was a fallout between Workers & Brothers last year which led to it being unavailable fullstop from the main bars for a day or 2 over the weekend - its on a thread in here somewhere. Could pose problems for next year perhaps.

Still, its bloody good stuff!

Nail hit on head. Simple solution and stops the massive queues. Stupid idea when that got stopped.

Each to their own Mr Funk... Burrow Hill has been a cider farm for 150 years now, Brothers has been around since 1658!!! has for Brothers being compared to D$amond White what poo

Personally I'm glad Brothers is called 'pear cider' rather than perry, as it tastes nothing like a proper perry whatsoever. It's just a sugar that's been turned to alcohol then had flavours and sweetners added.

eco-political correctness gone mad.....

their main argument i thought was the litter...

what about the litter of all the paper bloody cups...

we can reuse the bottles...

say make a bottle 5 pounds 30 pence...and if you bring back the bottle to get recycled you get it for a fiver saving the change...

it does fcuk me off a tad...i know i would def be alot happier with the bottles..

I thought that last years £10 for 3 pints was quite a decent deal. Would like to see another Brothers bar at the other end of the festival but pretty sure they won't due to the cost of a new stall and the ground rent

Seriously, neither of these drinks come from fresh pressed juice, it's all rehydrated and imported concentrate with added sugar and chemicals, so the comparison between the two isn't too far off. Especially when compared with Burrow Hill, which is just fresh pressed cider apple juice that's been fermented.

I particularly enjoyed my two free pints last year

Should plant a wee Brothers bar in The Park, that would be good.

So by the time I've walked down the hill towards the mainstages I'll be ready to go to the big one and get another

None of them compare to my own cider made from the apples from the trees in my back garden.

Strawberry ALL the way

i managed to sneak some into T last year but just so happens that no1 in my group of about 20 had never tried it (ANO!)

plus pubs have started selling them alot more now,

The one time I went last year there was no queue. It was the day before it became absolutely scorching so either Thursday or Friday. An extra bar would be a great idea though, hopefully it's not just a pipe dream!

[LondonTom]

Currently sipping brothers strawberry right now, so any extra bar has got to be a plus in my book!
