The Alcohol Thread

[donshakey]

not the person you asked but I always drink it when I'm at Academy gigs. Its quite sweet. it's made with actual apple fruit juice rather than the way cider is traditionally made. I like it, but I suspect it's not for everyone

I bought 4 taster cans tonight. Think I'll get a slab of 20 just to bulk up my supplies. I'm in a Motorhome so don't have to worry about carrying anything.

Anyone know which bars sell good cocktails?

I know the beat hotel do but where else?

 

The one with the bird cage above it in the circus field, there's one in, I think, the arse end of Shangri La and the NYC Downlow do a mean cocktail. The Glasto Latino bar is good for a mojito. 

 

I've heard good things about somewhere in Silver Hayes. Sadly, or not so sadly, I can't really remember anywhere else.

What's sommersby cider like? £10 for 20 cans has got my interest.

I took some to 2000trees in 2013 and it was almost undrinkable when war. Wouldn't suggest it, but it could have changed since then?

I'd agree with the one in the circus field and glasto Latino, lovely stuff. The bar near john peel usually has a side bar in the tent that does cocktails

I really liked it, I won't touch wrongbow again. Which is in the same price bracket. The flavoured ones are really nice too, the cranberry especially, but ive only seen them in bottles. Worth a go at that price dude.

The wife has picked up 2 boxes of echo falls red from b&m bargains for £9 each today, she phoned me in her excitement to tell me, said each box holds the equivalent of three bottles.

 

I was coming here to ask about boxes of red - definitely gonna have to make a quick trip to B&M now!

 

Failing that - anyone know where else does decent boxes of red for a good price?

[yellowsnow]

Somersby cider is really nice, never had it warm though

[madstartin]

I've just picked up a 3l box of red shiraz from Aldi for £15, doesn't taste too bad at all.

 

No Echo falls at my local B&M unfortunately.

Where is the best place at the festival to get a really good Gin and Tonic?

[Badlands]

Got my Wainwright in yesterday. Promptly drank 8 cans of the stuff already.

[Tiesto FTW]

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.

 

I have bought 2 x 3l boxes of Country Manor from Tesco (4.69 a box) and it tastes great. Nice warm aswell which is a must for Glasto!

 

Maybe worth buying a box to see if you like that. Not as nice as Thatcher's but good all the same!

I got a nice 3 litre box of Shelton mallet cider from Tesco this week 7-49 they had the organic Westons at £7 odd aswell

[wilem]

The question is... how do I carry 80 litres of cider into the festival?

Anyone got an answer for this? Would love a good G&T at Glastonbury.

[Guest]

Off to do the big booze shop! I'll report back afterwards.

[Anderson19]

Yeah I also wouldn't mind knowing anywhere that does G&T ?

[angelin]

What about that bar near the acoustic stage it was pretty fancy. I think it was new last year. It did old school cocktails for sure.

[Jackmypie]

got 18 cans of stella for £12 in tesco, also bought 24 cans of strawberry brothers off their website, 1L of pimms will probably get some flavoured vodka tomorrow too

 

will buy the rest at the festival

[Greenish]

Good gin n tonic at the bimble inn

[The Placid Casual]

hahahahahaha

Eh?

[FloorFiller]

fuck it, was gonna stick to the one bottle of sprite but i'd rather have too much than too little, so gonna pick up a bottle of gin tomorrow from Aldi. only a tenner - what's to lose!?

[Anderson19]

Your mind

[zero000]

Sphincter control.

[FloorFiller]

yeah but... a tenner!

[Anderson19]

I'm partial to a bottle of Aldi gin its great stuff for that price.
