There's at William's Green that does Grimbergen Blonde, lovely Belgian beer.

That was at the T+C bar mate. Yes, Lovely Beer but very strong!

is there a bar built in to some trees with fairy lights around it by the Glade?

[bellboy]

One of our group cannot bring himself to say the "Th**cher" word so usually asks for a pint of "milksnatcher" or a pint of "witch"!  Gets some funny looks from the bar staff!!

Anybody had a try of Thatchers Haze? That stuff has overtaken Thatchers Gold for me, amazing stuff.

Definitely give it a go considering I'll likely be surviving on canned Strongbow for the weekend.

Cider is definitely the most enjoyable tent-warmed alcohol in a can.

I'll have to remember that! I never went in but walked past it and it looked very pleasant!

Il agree that cider isn't that bad warm, but strongbow? Really?

It's not out of choice, believe me.

The Glasto ticket takes up the majority of my festival funds. Beyond that, it's the only cheap cider avaiable in large quantities to me.

Surely real ale is the best tent-warmed alcohol in a can?

Admittedly it can be harder to find ale in cans in any big numbers, but I always bring a few packs as the taste is always more bearable in the sun compared to lager beer.

Brew ur own mate, can make a 40 pint kit for £15 if you happen to have a big enough bucket. Far nicer than the commercial canned shite, it goes neatly in tapped water containers / wine bag in box sort of things too

I got a free pint for being the first customer of the day on Sunday last year.

When you get left with random stuff like that click the tool that looks like a SIM card on the far right ^ & it clears the entire post

I remember seeing a few stalls, (I can't say bars because I only bought a drink at 1 bar) that we're accepting cards. It's not that difficult to process payments with a phone or tablet these days so you will find somewhere taking them I'm sure

some are ' cash only' and some take Cards - see price list as they will also say if they are ' cash + cards '

They're obviously dependent on connectivity to the outside world, so I think it's good to have a card as back up, as long as it's not your main plan in case they have issues with card payments.

which reminds me of this - Years ago there was a Huge demand for K { its a Cider 8.4% ABV } at first it was only on sale within the Guest Bar - we just could not unpack the bottles fast enough - it even sold faster than Brothers a year or two later - I don't drink cider all I know is ' all of a sudden it was the most requested drink in the  Guest Bar - anyway one year we ran out { we still had stock but it could not be transported at that time } and the next two customer who asked I said they would have to wait until the morning but we had ' Draft Cider ' - this female looked at me as if I was daft and said ' but we don't like Cider ' - I explained K was Cider - she did not believe me until I showed her a empty bottle - they were stunned.

I have no clue what they thought they were drinking all I know is they were well upset that K was Cider.

it was in fashion for so long and then all of a sudden ' there was no demand ' - Brothers was in big demand.

I wonder what will next be in fashion.

The cocktail bar between the Circus and Theatre fields also played some "very good" music last year.  When Guilty Pleasures had to close early, we ended up down there singing and dancing to 70s disco amongst other things. 

sounds like a good place to look for

Does anyone remember the Fish and Tits bar? They had half naked blue mermaids and a door which led to a secluded area complete with little shelves and mirrors
