    €2 extra when you come in. You have to ask to upgrade. They may let you do it retroactively.

    €2 :)

    As Ronan|Raven said he got the old one, I'm guessing it's the same type as last year, a straight half-pint glass like these.

    This is the new fancy one

    Apart from ciders and whiskey, are there any celiac friendly beers on offer that do not use barley/wheat?

    thanks

    I'd prefer the straight sided one for reuse actually. The other one looks like it won't fit in the top of my dishwasher!

    just home, great times, some great beers there. The layout is better than last year, new toilets and a large outdoor area out the back. The Mountain Man guy gave me a badge with "That Beard is Mighty Club" on it, which is quite frankly, the most amazing thing that has happened in my life, with the possible exception of the kids getting born.

    That's nice and all but their beers are fairly bad this year. Tried the Blueberry one and the coriander and anise one. Two of the worst beers I've had in a while. Medicine.
    Very disappointing.

    That is true. My favs so far are kinnegar guzeberry, White Hag chocolate Stout through the coffee Randall, brown paper bad auld bruin, White Hag sour (dunno what it's called). I've yet to have a good IPA. A little sumpin sumpin is as close as I've got to delicious hops so far.
    Rye river Marzen was decent aswell. Great spread of beers overall.

    The stemmed glass is lined to the 2/3 pint mark; the regular is a straight-sided half pint.

    Does the stemmed glass cost extra?
