Jaysus EP is such a rip off.
I would happily strangle every last dope in those Orchard Thieves adverts.
There were some kids drinking around our gaff a few weeks ago. I’d say they were 14-15. All lashing down Orchard Thieves. Slightly different than the ads, I thought, as I cleaned up the detritus the next day.
It’s high-class hipster nonsense.
As the resident coeliac of the board, I have to agree; I’m sick of Bulmers and so a widely available alternative was to be welcomed.
And then this advert. So yeah, you can’t *actually* ask for a pint of OT without thinking that the barman thinks you’re the kind of sap who’s been swayed by that advert. And if I DID buy a pint of it, the thought of the merest shred of a scintilla of an iota of a percent of the purchase price going into the pocket of the genius who came up with the ad would give me nightmares.
Maybe try not to care so much what other people think.
Sound. That leaves me buying the product with the gammy advert, thereby rewarding them.
The name is mortifying. Orchard Thieves! Jebus! Scrumpy Jack’s posh cousin.
€2.30 a can?
You can already bring in 2 x crates each anyway, why would anyone do this?
Someone who drank all their crates, and is still thirsty.
I’ll bet they’ll run out of every else so people end up buying rip-off Desperados.
Why don’t they come to their senses, they’ve been out riding fences for so long now.
One of my favourite lyrics.
Oh, you’ve a hard one.
*posting on a handheld device, please excuse typos.
Laughable. It was a good idea when they started it a few years ago and it was €20 for 24.
THIS should be in your “How Much” series. Dry punters who want a beer don’t really have much of a choice on where to buy as opposed to idiots who complain about the price of a Pint in the K Club.
Aye. They “I can’t fit all my 50s in my wallet and my diamond shoes are hurting me” crowd.
*the, not they.
wait, does this not go against the whole ethos of lecy picknik
oh hispstery types need to get paid 2…i see…ok then
suppose the admin costs in unloading & moving the booze from truck to tent justify pricing
It was bought out from Aitken in 2008/2009 by a giant festival promoter and hasn’t been eco/hippy/sustainable since then.
There’s a Supervalu in the town, to which you can come and go as you please.
You’re welcome.
They take the drink off ya going in to see the bands once you leave the camp, so there’s not much point in selling it. Oh wait…now I see the scam.
Electric Picnic has deteriorated so much, the past couple of years.
It’s become oxygenated.
Absolutely Dreadful.
Went to Knockanstockan this year instead. Really enjoyable. Great vibe, beautiful location and great music. Won’t go to EP again. Unless they can get Bowie back from the dead to headline.
Zombowie!
We are forgetting the trauma of having to carry all your cans, your tent, your seven million jumpers, blow up mattress etc from the car park a million miles away from the campsite. Not saying their pricing is fair but let us not judge the people who are availing of it.
If there are any designers / freelancers / small businesses out there who have worked on Heineken related events and are now finding it difficult getting paid, please make contact with me, Tks. Ciaran Adamson Design
If anyone else from St Kevins CBS loaned Ciaran a fiver in 1987 and didn’t get it back feel free to contact ME….
lol
I thought I recognised you as one of the gurriers egging Mary’s on my last day…
Wasn’t me… I swear, I think Bertie was one of those caught mooning at the nuns though!
It was like he wanted them to catch him.
Of course, why else would I have carried a ghetto blaster blaring out the Benny Hill theme tune as I made my “escape”?
Ah a fellow Mary’s goer, what a school!
Too right!
Serious Question: Who drinks Deperados? I’ve never seen anyone order it. I’ve seen it in loads of promotions, and sponsored events, but I’ve never seen anyone walk up to the bar and buy one.
I think I must have one night as I have a Desperados lizard keyring. Obviously it was a promotion, though.
It sounds like the most hellish drink. And I’m a fan of a Negroni, which a lot of people can’t fathom.
A Negroni’s a proper grown-up drink.
It makes most people wince when they try it.
Those people are scarcely worth the consideration. I built up my taste for drink the hard way by scoring nips from my granny’s liquor cabinet. None of your alcopops in the early 80s – a ganseyload of Satzenbrau and we were good to go.
Satzenbrau…. the pre-pills pils
Furstenberg.
It’s what your confo money was made to be spent on.
Aye. It was all about a “can a Satz” before yer fancyass Holsten appeared.
What was the one with the “follow the bear” ad?
Hofmeister.
There’s a blast from the past.
I togged out for Dorfmeister myself.
Jaysus, there’s a few names I haven’t heard in a while. Throw in a can of stag and we’re all set
Sure isn’t it great value at €4.10 a can?
@rotide: Get some Ritz and a few Smithwick’s Barley Wines and the job’s a good ”un
yokes yokes yokes?
morons
It’s a running yoke on this website.
I feel that now would be the time for Sarah Murphy to appear.
* chants like he’s on the terraces *
There’s only one Sarah Murphy!
We only deserve one Sarah Murphy
i preordered a tray of heineken from them last time i went to ep, best decision ever. and they’ll keep it in the fridge for you as well, so you dont have to take the whole tray at once.
