Blimey, and from memory, opening day is generally a bit cheaper.  That's a bit steep for a pint of standard Otter beer!

Carlsberg!

Anyone who thinks £5 for a pint of Carlsberg is decent doesn't have a clue about the world.

3.8% mate

This is quite shocking.

Calsberg tastes like piss too

I haven't taste tested since the change, but Carlsberg changed their recipe recently. Heard it's better.

Yeah, bit shocked at £6 for a pint at Avalon!

After a meetup with friends I went back to my caravan and filled my rucksack with cans

In the same way that a broken arm is better than a broken leg.

Right, beer drop will be asked for on Saturday I fancy given these prices, well above inflation over 2 years. 

[thewayiam]

Getting too pricey now.

[Memory Man]

Fiver for a pint most places, i honestly dont think thats too bad? Especially for brothers and burrow hill each of which are strong! Its a nice round figure

Any interesting soft drinks available, rather than just coke, red bull etc? My girlfriend is on antibiotics which are likely to make her sick if she drinks, so will be a sober festival (in  terms of alcohol anyway) for her this year. Not there till later so not sure whether to stock up en route?

Main bars and stalls are pretty limited from what I’ve seen so far. Standard cans of coke, sprite etc. 

Loads of stalls selling juice and smoothies though.

I guess the Co op will have some sort of selection?

Thanks! Thought so. Will bring some and rely on co-op for the rest

Any idea if WBC bars are going to be selling alcohol free beers? Things have got better now as quite a few are in cans so I can take my own but it'd be nice to get some cold ones.

Spotted some on sale but its a crew bar ( Arcadia)  have a look at public bar in Arcadia area as they may be connected !!!

£4.50 a pint for otter ale and a couple of other options at the beer bus in the theatre field.

I seriously doubt it. Anyone who believes their marketing guff saying "we have made it taste better" without having said how and keeping the percentage the same, is a gullible person.
