They certainly do sell Real Ale there. I worked for Shelter for two  years and that was  the bar we were at for our first year. The best bar by far. 

I don’t drink ale but that particular bar seems to have a good selection of drinks. I go there fo the Guinness.

Got 4 crates of Mallets the other day, to enter the ticket competition, but I drink cider anyway so it was a win/win, especially if successful in the comp, please god!  It's not too disimilar to Strongbow, even the can looks like it a bit.  And it's made by Brothers, they've done well to get this contract rather than just have the one bar, which I believe is being replaced.  I do prefer Thatchers but after a couple of days at the festival the tastebuds are about gone so it doesn't really matter!

I would be surprised if the Brothers bar vanishes.  Their Twitter account still posts vast amount of Glastonbury linked stuff, and they've made sure there's a clear difference in the branding of the two drinks.

Tuborg looks like and tastes like its been scooped out of the longdrops and mixed with purified white dog shit. Its amazing that its still a thing. 

Glasto HQ need to have a look at EOTR and let a decent craft beer company have a free run at a bar and see how it goes. 

Yes was thinking the same about EOTR. A good look a Green Man would also be a good shout.

Tell me more, sounds like somewhere I need to check out?

It's the pennard organic wine stall on the walk towards Avalon. Always stop for something refreshing either hot or cold depending on the weather

What about if you usually drink wine, Prosecco... what would you suggest? ??‍♀️

There are wine places too with huge inflatable wine bottles on top. Sure there's one on west holts and another somewhere. Memory is flaky but they definitely also sell prosecco. They will sell you a bottle but obviously has to be decanted first and about 30 of your fine English pounds. Might be worth investing in some water bottles.

My mate disappeared for a few hours in 2011 and reemerged with some delicious hot rum punch, it took us until 2015 to work out where it had come from.

Is there any back up to the Brothers Bar not being there? Whilst not a fan it’s still a Wednesday tradition to have a 7% pint by the time I should know better 

It was something I was told the other week, I've tweeted them to see if it was true but not had a reply yet.

Tuborg is far from the worst choice for a 3-4% lager. It's not bad on draft from a pub... much better than its brewer's main lager... Carlsberg! Be grateful its not that sweet tasting piss water...

Uhh.

While I've not seen any confirmation of anything for this year, in 2017 it was Carlsberg and not Tuborg.

Neither are anywhere near acceptable.

And what would be?? Considering it has to be a 3-4% standard lager to cater to the masses....

I don't accept that it has to be 3-4%. But even if you accept that arbitrary limitation, then Amstel would be infinitely better than either Tuborg or Carlsberg, or if they still make it, Becks have/had a pretty decent 4% version. Even Coors Light or Carling would be better than Tuborg / Carlsberg - hell, the only beer in that part of the market that I actually think is worse is Bud.

But as I say, I don't accept that it needs to be 3-4%. A large chunk, possibly a majority, of the cans people are bringing in are around 5% and other festivals are able to have a 5% lager as the standard offering.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
