Has anyone already on site seen the prices and beers on offer yet? Hoping for a more interesting option than lager!

£5 for a can 😕 

[rubenz]

5 quid for a smallish can of lager is a bit steep,  thought the workers bars might be a bit cheaper

Especially a fiver for a 0% one!

Yeah cheekily named that. I'd probably gravitate towards it just by virtue of it having more descriptors 

[Justiceforcedave]

I really hope they've not gone the same way as many of the London festivals and have majority can bars!

[stopwn1981]

This is hard times. c**ts 

 

[Lucy92]

How does a fiver a can compare to maceos last year?

How has White Claw caught on so much here? Tastes like someone added flavour to a fart

[stopwn1981]

If it’s 440ml can in a crew bar for £5, punters are going to get raped hard at the main bars for a pint. Shameful

[incident]

Not having been in there for a few years, when did Maceos switch from Draught to Cans? That's a very disappointing move.

Brooklyn Special effects is the absolute don of NA beers, so I’m really quite chuffed to see it - albeit a fiver a can is a bit mean in a staff bar, that’ll equate to £6 on public bars I’d have thought

Surely this won't happen

We all have cans already, a served pint is ultimately what people are after

[catavento]

Cans!? Really hope that isn't replicated across the site, that would be really disappointing. They kept it quiet if it is, unless you have a situation where certain bars have draught and others cans.

NA beer on the other hand would be a good move if it was, I know it's not to everybody's taste but you've got an increasing number of people doing the festival sober.

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

I have many cans….I would like a pint please..

[stopwn1981]

It won’t be cans. Everyone can bring cans, so why would you buy them. And if it is, I’ll react quite poorly to the usual environmental virtue signalling we get!

[Sawman]

Definitely had draft at maceos last year and as choice is also low I wonder if just cans for now until in full swing tomorrow and Tuesday - hope so as pretty piss poor in terms of choice and price. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Can't roll out cans all over the site, people would kick off about bringing their metal pint cups and that.

All of the London outdoor shows seem to do this. All Points East last year had one draft bar which had a queue out the door then a ton of empty can bars (granted this was on Nick Cave day). I assume it's some kind of condition of being sponsored by Brew Dog or whoever it is!

Genuinely never heard of it until I saw that poster.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Yeah, what the f**k is White Claw? Alcoholic seltzer water? Sounds rank, tbf.

Basically fizzy water with vodka I think. I’m not the biggest fan

Parklife bar prices from this year:

[FloorFiller]

Maybe it’s already been covered but somebody on Reddit is on site and saying it’s £6.50 for your standard pint, which seems about right.

Same cost as a Brighton bar. I can live with that!
