Workers Beer Company bar opening/closing times

[Paul ™]

Ahh great idea Kerplunk.. watching the sun coming up (ok so that's a bit earlier but you know what I mean )

[MIXFEST]

It's usually Wherry bitter at the main bars - it's not a bad pint and it's good that it's widely available but after a few I'm normally hankering after a bit of better bitter from somewhere else...

As you walk onto the acoustic field there is only one bar on the left - the Red flag bar - It's just a very long bar.

Further up the hill you have the acoustic tent in all it's glory,

[Birdy]

Does anyone know which ones sell Guinness, I think the one kind of behind the other stage sold it last year

We need more real ale bars by the sound of it!! Why not start the first ever Glastonbury festival real ale festival!!! You reckon the local CAMRA group would be up for it?

[posthuman]

Think we need a Glastonbury bar crawl... Though maybe split out across the festival. I wonder how many bars in total there are on site...

Was it the Park bar that had the indie disco on the thursday night last year?

and opposite the bar there's a fantastic 24hr cafe serving some great food.

[William of Walworth]

The Red Flag definitely is the real ale bar!

Tken last year, cropped from one the big ariel shots...

The Café is run by some religious sect. Nice bunch of people, they don’t try and convert you or preach to you at all. They don’t sell anything alcoholic though. They have a small cosy open manqué where you’re invited to debate about God. Thing is, it’s to near the bar so you do get some heated discussions, not nessaerly sensible ones.

Right so in theory I only need to carry enough booze to drink for 5 hours a day and the rest I can buy on site. Hmmm....

[Kinning Park Don]

Well done ya radges. Quality having some bars open that late. Cheers for keeping us all going.

I dispute this -- theyy're one and the same, surely?

[William of Walworth]

Read the rest of the thread then before disputing it

Mr Bizarre, cheers for confirming that the Real Ale Bar is run independnekly of the WBC. It might be semi autnomous rather than fully independent, but I had some contact with the Manager last year and the separateness thing was what I vaguely remembeed ...

For Real Ale, as well, don't forget the Bimble Inn, people! There won't be so many beer outlets at that end of the site (they/ll be near The Park this year) and the Bimble is quality -- and a little cheaper ...

I wish I'd known this last year. When I was freezing cold and wet at 2am on the Sunday night/Monday morning and the bars by the Pyramid stage were all closing, I could've wandered off and found somewhere warm and dry to loiter.
