Thanks!

In joke with my crew is if I'm missing I'm in the Organic wine bar. Path opposite greenpeace, on the left for those asking. 

 

Love Avalon. 

 

Not strictly a bar, but the food/chais at the Lizard stage is my other hang out.

Where do you tend to buy from I find at the time I always bail on craft because of expense and carrying in is a bit of a ballache. 

Closer to the time we will have a thread going on what and where to buy in terms of craft cans. I may even have to sample a wide variety of these brews, just to be able to inform you.

Little tip - head to the iron workers to the left of the Park stage, and get them to pop a little hole in the top rim of your cup. This, with a little keyring ring can be attached to belt/bag when not in use.

You can also buy  a kind of rope / strap that fits around it

Although I already knew this.... I have to confess my parade is now somewhat damp!

Anyway, armed with a steely determination, and a steel pint pot, and perhaps a couple of twix's, anything is possible!

The dream goes on.

I only met one person who had a festival wide AAA Pass but there is lots of ' AAA Lite ' - not sure if they are still doing them - anyway I said to the guy ' where have you been with your AAA Pass ? ' and it turned out he just could not be bothered to find out as he did not have a motorised buggy - I know how he feels.

so stick to your quest

I'm sure its on the left of the main drag down towards Avalon. I pass it frequently and spend a lot of time over Avalon and Cabaret. I'm Irish and genetically unable to give adequate directions. I tend to know where I'm going by accident nor purpose. 

That’s good enough, cheers! I’m sure I walked past it 10 times last year & never realised. Will probably be the same next year & I’ll only realise I never visited when I get back & read about it here again

 I have done a few festivals in London where I have worked on the gate line and the VIPs tickets holders whose tickets cost hundreds have absolutely no idea what they are entitled to.

I normally go to a really good local off licence in Brighton to stock specifically for Glastonbury. It is pricey(ish) but I have cool bag storage for around 15 cans and they act as nice punctuation points to the more prosaic everyday drinking I do at Glastonbury. The rest of my group will bring the usual wine box and supermarket booze, but I do find a few select good ones work a treat.

 

 

Aha! Sussex ?? you might mean Trafalgar wines under the station, which is quite simply one of the best offies on the planet. Lovely owner too, very knowledgeable and helpful. Top man. 

I favour dark canned beers, as others have stated: my preferred tipples: 

magic rock common grounds 

gun brewery imperial whisky stout 

Oskar blues death by coconut 

evil twin even more Jesus 

mikkeller beer geek brunch 

and I dream of getting canned Omnipollo - in particular Noa, but the crazyarse coffeealmondream I had would be hugely high on the list too. Holy shit ???  anything that suits a) the first can of the day as readily as it suits b) headliners on stage in five mins, let’s get sideways

Trafalgar Wines is indeed a very fine beer emporium. I also use the Seven Cellars wine shop which also has a good range of beers in Seven Dials. I shall investigate your recommendations, the first can of the day always has to be special one!

Had a bottle of that recently is Lisbon. Was so good I had it again a few days later but found out it had been costing me 14 euros each time. Totally worth it.

Never cheap: always amazing! It was on tap at the Evening Star in Brighton a few months back, the pecan mud cake version - £7 a third I think, but I had three in a row ??? really don’t care how much it costs, amazing things are worth having! 

 

So they need to can it, and then I’ll bring 5 to Glastonbury next year - one a day

Gentle heads up:

I popped in for a tipple on Sunday last year,the chaps running it were saying they were thinking of calling it a day.

Yeah totally agree, cans should be the standard for all good beers.

I only live a mile or two from them so can always get the plonk, but would be devoed if they weren't at Glastonbury.

I pass by it all the time but don't think I've stopped despite hearing its a cracker.

Bimble Inn - best sesh I've ever had on Sunday 2016. P'ing rain outside, great craic, great music and way too much alcohol (is that possible?)  inside. Oh and comfy loungers too.

The Glade because with the mirror-ball, trees, little pathways is truly magical

Perhaps you’ll have to deem a new magical place with @SecretFish

I heard a brand new (small) tent is going which should amuse many...

[uscore]

I had an access all areas pass at the Reading Festival a while back, and I got absolutely wasted, and spent all day just seeing what was behind all the doors and gates behind the stages. I've never been so excited to be in carparks and crew toilets.

Hello fellow Organic Wine dweller, are we drinking friends already? I’m morph with the flamingos, crown and assorted fancy dress....

[gherkin8r]

Normally don't spend a lot of time in bars at the festival. Remember havi g a pretty serious cry in rock the casbah one year in late morning and came round after a few jars so for that reason it gets my vote.

I think you're referring to the 'secret' Rabbit Hole, which was renamed as Funkingham Palace this year.

My favourite might be West Holts bar, not because it's a fabulous bar or anything but that's where Freddie and the Freeloaders regularly play.

I saw a good band in there around the time Solange was playing - I got a bit fed up with some silly giggly teenagers in the crowd so drifted away but had a blast in the bar.  No idea who it was playing in there though!

Bring back The Dog Faced Geisha Girl Bar.

A walk in art installation if ever I've walked into one.

Just stunning. Possibly a Banksy?
