The Alcohol Thread

anybody know anywhere that does cans of Cubanista or Desporados? Or is there any similar flavoured lagers you can get in cans?

 

I've just had an email back from their marketing/PR people who've told me that they are only available wholesale to pubs/clubs at the moment. They couldn't supply me with a date for when they would be available to retail.

There is a Tesco in Shepton Mallet & Midsomer Norton

 

An Asda in Bedminster & Longwell Green

 

A Sainsburys in Emersons Green & Midsomer Norton (shite for booze though in my opinion)

 

An Aldi in Longwell Green

 

That's off the top of my head

I may or may not work there and be helped by 20% off, but to add to the 10 litres of Yarlington Mill I bought some toffee vodka and also Cana Negra rum from M&S which is absolutely one of the nicest rums I've ever tried. Thoroughly recommended.

Woodford reserve Kentucky bourbon is £22 in asda, great price for a quality bourbon.

 

Good call, thanks for this. My cousin got me a bottle for a birthday and I haven't found it since. He last gave me a bottle of Hudson Rye Whisky which I'm taking along this year, so I'll get one of these to join it.

In case anyone is driving from mainland Europe or knows someone who is... I moved to Luxembourg last year - first time coming to the festival from out here, and the price of alcohol and cigarettes out here is mindbogglingly low, especially with the euro being so low. I'm bringing all our group's drinks over from here:

 

3l Pinot Noir - €5.49 (£3.93)

3l Riesling - €7.99 (£5.72)

2x 5l easykegs of local lager €10.99 each (£7.87)

3x 70cl Bacardi €9.99 (£7.15)

70cl Bulleit Rye bourbon €19.99 (£14.31)

 

The only hassle will be having to do the decanting for the whole group at our end - and picking up some cans of 'home' beer on the way through (quite happy to pay whatever it costs to get some English ale at this point).

That is a damn good price for such a class bourbon. Tried to find Makers Mark at a good price but couldn't, settled for Jim Beam at £13 which is a steal.

60 cans of pisswater (Carlsberg) and a bottle of Kraken rum. debating bringing another bottle of spirit but i actually want to remember this years festival so i'll possibly just leave it at that and take it a little easier with the booze (and treat myself to a few cocktails along the way)

I've just passed me boxes Somersby ciders & Kopparberg breakfast ciders to me pal who is going in the campervan, she is kindly taking them for us as we're on the coach. what a gem. she reads these boards, she's one of the snide guests....so cheers mooch!  All I need to carry, booze wise, is me spirits - job done. Oh and my 4 cans of brothers cider (I won) for the coach. Oh man, I'm so excited...

all the major supermarkets do a 3l box of Westons

 

Tesco also do a box of tree shaker which is lovely, they do a box of perry too

 

Tried my local Tescos. It's massive. Nothing but wine in boxes.

 

Tried all of the supermarkets 'round here.

 

Was going to order one from the Thatchers website until I got to checkout and they wanted more for P&P than the box cost.

You can order it online to your local Tesco for collection, and you wont have to pay delivery costs

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
