Thatchers Gold 10x440ml cans are 3 for £21 at tesco from tomorrow until the 2nd June. Very good value

Sherbert Vodka? How is it made please??

[jamesrfisher]

We are way too organised, puchased 24 cans of Rev James direct from Brains and 24 cans of London Pride from Bookers Cash n Carry. We are able to leave them as only drink from cans at festivals, always order some in bottles for drinking at home.

Will also take a bottle of whisky decanted into several hip flasks. Not sure which yet most likely to be either Makers Mark or Macallan depending on supplies and prices if needed.

ive brought 3 x 12 bottle boxes of Tuborg from tesco for £6 each which i thought was a bargain and with the wife working there i get a 10% discount too........so £5.40 a box

It's not beer,it's vodka, specifically Green Mark vodka for £16 a litre at tesco.

[Smash1984]

Thanks for these, very useful. I love this forum!

Will be on the strawberry brothers this year, normal cider makes me gag when I have it for the whole weekend haha.

Might try out some skittles vodka too.

12 pack of fosters aswell. Not sure what else I'll take.

that is lovely stuff! I normally only get to drink that at Sidmouth Folk Festival! I didnt know you can get it in boxes

[Paul_w]

Fosters 15 x 440ml 2 cases for £18 in sainsburys. Good deal i think

[sjp61]

Sidmouth Folk Festival is still going?! Used to get dragged there every year when I was a wee lad.

Although you will have to decant these from the bottles? I'm assuming they aren't plastic bottles?

[Drinky]

I'm brewing my own this year - I usually bottle in glass, but will be using PET bottles to be farm-friendly. If you've not had a go at brewing before, you could just about squeeze a batch in before the festival if you had a go this weekend.

I have a batch of German kolsch and a Belgian saison on the go with the intention of bringing them to the festival... no doubt I'll bring some cans as well for when those are all gone

[addicted2noise]

I ordered 20 cans of Strongbow and 12 cans of Caffrey's from Tesco for £23 delivered yesterday. I don't think I would really drink anymore than that.

[BA4 4BY]

Port was mentioned on here a few days ago as a good drink that doesn't need to be chilled and I like a drop of port, so having decided to add some to my packing list I was well pleased to find Dow's Master Blend Finest Reserve yesterday in Tesco, currently on offer at £7 reduced from £15.

Also, Westons Stowford Press cider, 4 x 440ml cans, 2 packs for £7 (amongst lots of other ciders on the same offer), and litre bottles of Pimm's down from £18 to £12.

On the subject of Pimms. Try the cheapo Aldi version "Austins" it is actually pretty decent and quite a bit cheaper. Their gin recently won a taste test beating everything including the Harrods own brand (£35), Gordon's, Bombay Sapphire and Hendrick's!

I have this morning spoke to Rog (awesome recommendation from on here) and he's setting aside 20l of cider for me to collect on my way down :-)

[Filthy]

Ocado have 4 for £3 on Stowford Press with a further tenner off on orders over £40 if it's your first order with them. Thought I'd upgrade on Strongbow this year

[greenArmy12]

So is sherbet lemon vodka just vodka with sherbet lemons left in it for a while?

[John_P]

20 cans of Coors and 12 strawberry and lime kopparberg so far. Need a few more ciders and some spirits and I'm set
