What beer does everybody like to drink? I'm obviously aware that there is no glass bottles allowed at Glasto which restricts my choices a fair bit. I like my White & Blonde beers, however am having a hard time finding them in plastic bottles or can forms. I have no problem drinking your standard lagers i.e) Fosters, Carling etc... but just wondering in case I'm missing something special... enlighten me!

I do like drinking ale from the bars but out of cans it'll be larger. I usually take a few crates of Stella but my mate who comes can't handle the stella, it turns him into a dick. So I'll probably take half stella and half fosters, along with a few premixed vodkas. :)

Edit: Just reread title and the question seemed different in my head, got a habbit of doing that lol

What's ale like decanted into plastic bottles, isn't that a possibility or would it spoil it?

Partial to an ale myself but it'll be cans and spirits for me until I get to the bars.

Anyone have any recent prices of ales? Heard there's a few places that have a variety.

There's not really such a thing as a decent tasting ale in a can - I've done lots of research into it - so you're better off getting stronger stuff, so you need to wee less. Tanglefoot, hobgoblin and speckled hen are all about 5%, and taste reasonable. A quid a can or £4.50 at the bars? I'll be doing both, but if you have ten a day then you'll be saving £35 a day.

£175 over the festival!

I've not seen any tribute in cans, but I'd happily give it a bash. I wasn't (and aren't) a fan of Abbot though, in cans or on tap.

What would be ideal would be on site polypins from local brewers - but I guess the bars would never allow that to happen, cos their business would halve instantly

OOH that big can has got me right excited! Living in Sussex is often quite a good thing - Harvey's and Dark Star for starters - but our access to Cornish ales is crap.

Besides anything else, I'm off beer for three weeks before a charity walk, I'm only three days in and I'd murder that big tribute can

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
