Coulnt finds can but found this! http://www.westons-cider.co.uk/shop/old-rosie-and-trad/_product/15/old-rosie-stillbr-20l-bag-in-box/

Oh christ... Old Rosie in a bag? I think I'd be blind by the end of the first hour.

[sloseph]

i've never seen it in cans but you can buy a bag/box of it from Westons

http://www.westons-cider.co.uk/shop/20l-bag-in-box/_product/15/old-rosie-stillbr-20l-bag-in-box/

or just put it into plastic bottles yourself, it's not like you need to worry about losing fizz

[gmb1992]

sounds dangerous

[Memory Man]

Waitrose stock not one but two different boxed ciders from westons. Neither are old rosie, but one is wyld wood which is oaky and strong at about 6% (my festival tipple of choice) and now also a less strong one but i forget its name, at about 4.5%.

These are the 3 litre boxes. I usually wait for them to go on offer and stock up. Trigger point for buying wyld wood is around £5-£6 a box. Its full RRP is about £7-£8

I think its a great idea, i may get one and strap it to my back

[sloseph]

the thought of spending 5 days in a row drinking rosie is sending me west, more power to you if you can manage it but i'd be a broken man by Thursday

she's a cruel mistress

I buy the 20 litre box every year, me and my brother finish it off by the Saturday morning usually. It's also fun when you get down to the last 5litres or so to carry it round and offer people drinks from a bag that looks like throthy piss

[GlastoSimon]

Quick question, toying with the idea of taking one of these 20L bags rather than the usual cans. Some decent offers too (Thatchers Cheddar Valley/Heritage for £38 isn't bad value). But surely the boxes must be huge?

Basically, if I got one of these things would I be able to get it on site without suffering an intense amount of pain?

I've been drinking a fair bit of Aspall cider recently, as part of my Glastonbury training. It's a shame it don't come in cans or bags

Wyld Wood has been my choice of boxed cider for the past couple of years, purely for the portability. I do love old Rosie but the 20 litre box that people are mentioning would likely be an issue where transportation is concerned. However, in a search for decent deals I've just come across this:

Anybody familiar with it? Seems remarkably well-priced for what you're getting.

Here's it scaled with a London double decker bus.

Brilliant, shipped from Shepton Mallett via Tesco's, back to Pilton!

Be careful, this stuff was responsible for a spontaneous bladder incident for me last time I drank it. The shame.

[___S_o_m_a__]

Old Rosie. Named after a steam engine. Steaming is what it gets you too.

I know OP is after cans but if you get stuck there's always these:

Usually found in glass which could be decanted but I have seen them in plastic.

[kaisherz]

Ahhh Old Rosie, my Kryptonite.

You can get it in a old fashioned glass bottle, in Costcutter Supermarkets (our local garage has one). I believe they're around 2.5l - So just decant this into a 2l bottle, and drink the rest on the spot, unless you're driving.

EDIT - Please see SOMA's post above, my apologies.

Haha my mate had the same issue with a walk back from the silent disco on the stuff. i did the honorable thing and ran back to the tent shouting man down.

[greenArmy12]

It's genius. A student classic. Drink for the day, inflatable pillow by night.
