About 7 Euros a pint on average. Friday night, all day Saturday and most of Sunday - so quite a bit of beer.
I bought tokens on the ground last year, the same number as my mates and spent the lot! Cant understand why one of them still has 7 left!!! Will have to watch him this year!
Also allow 30 euros for food.
Last pint I had last year was the best but cant remember what it was - was there a 1664 white beer? - very vague recollection only.

correct along with all the other (bieres blondes) largery type beers - they all taste pretty much the same to me though I prefer the Loburg if it's on tap - there's always your bog standard Stella of course.The 24 packs from the supermarkets are still great value if you can smuggle them into the ground....

Actually having checked I have 4 left. PS I bought first and last in the Melting Pot Saturday night and re the food we always split the bill and you order more than I do. Sent my passport for renewal this morning will let you have details when the new one arrives ok. I will phone you to save you the cost of the call.

Well that is because I wanted another poster (not on this thread) to see his advice about how to post links has been successfully taken on board.

Re Marsala not for me as I think it is very sweet ie the wine/sherry not the place.
