Oh man...
How in the sweet blue Christ am I supposed to get all this microbrew in?
My beautiful Sierras...My lovely Magic Hats...My sweet, sweet Maudites...
And what about the Green Fairy? ???
Okay, I'd planned on going in clean this year. You wanna search me? Be my guest. Bring your dog too. But now? Now I'm gonna be the kind of smuggler that makes Han Solo look like a CHUMP!! They've turned me into an outlaw by outlawing my last vice.
green Fairy??? Is it REAL absinthe or the fake stuff with no wormwood??
Yep, my Bonnaroo mailing list email came and bummed me out. I guess the land owners cows got injured on some idiots broken glass they didn't clean up. A few bad apples ruin it for all of us.

Seriously...Do I not take all this good Oregon bottled beer with me?? I don't want to get our backpacks searched going in and have to get rid of the 24 beers right then and there...Although we would feel pretty good after downing them all....

My other half says we are repacking our bags and leaving the bottled beer at home.... ...bummer Less weight to pack to TN though... Guess I should look at it that way

I guess Ill have to hide my bottles of vodka in towels or something, but be sure to throw out your bottles if you do sneak them in folks, we dont want to step on any more toes
the searches are never that intense just pack the beers in your bag or in a cooler that is out of site. at first i was kind of bummed. worried that no jack daniels breafast before kings of leon. but not going to sweat it. the first 2 years it has said no fireworks and both years have seen tons of fireworks.
if you're planning on bringing beers to sell/drink, just bring some cups to poor them in. as for the larger liquor bottles, i dunno... milk jugs? (shrug)

i can see where they're coming from...the land owners are cool enough(and also enjoy the money) to let us use their land and glass is difficult for the cleanup crews to find, let alone pick up... hte landowners main business has to do with cows so they have to protect them...
bring your beer in cans...but my only problem is with liquor...how do i bring that in?

yeah, right...they also said they were gonna b strict about Nitrous Oxide...we all know how strict they ended up being....the people that search u r local kids most of the time who will b attending bonn as soon as they r done with what they do...so i say chill out and just b smart of how u pack...glass on the bottom, cans on top
Having spent real money on tickets; driving for ten hours; being esentally locked in the grounds for 4 days; and expecting to have a great time; I WILL NOT DRINK CHEEP CAN BEER. I am able to get a keg of local micro-brew. Anyone see a problem with such a concept?
On the other hand, if the owners cows are being injured by broken glass, he may decide to not have Bonnaroo on his land next year. Lets try to be careful with our discarded glass, folks, if you must smuggle it in. I was already planning on canned beer.

Having known a few dairy/beef farmers, I can easily say that he makes way more from renting it out to Bonnaroo than from any cattle grazing.
He needs us, not the other way around. Not that we should be disrespectful, but I'm sure if they offer him the money, he will accept - glass or no glass. Just put it in a recycle bag and everything will be OK.
In my mind the owner is worried about broken glass - spirit of the law.
The exact wording says no glass at all - letter of the law.
I ALWAYS (even at home or at a friends house) recycle my bottles and put them in a place where they can't easily be broken (can with liner). I think I could follow the spirit of the law, but still break the letter of the law. Besides, I'm going to pour my nice beer into a cup the minute I open it. I honestly don't see a problem there.
I'm assuming the above posters won't be breaking any of the other rules that weekend? No illegal chemicals, fireworks, etc. ? Those are also rules set up by our hosts.
this really does suck that means no good beer I think this is a scam so we all have to support budwieser yuck what do you think ? budwieser has america wraped around it's finger have you ever noticed any and just about avery event bud has a tent or is promoting
We're going to be bringing beer but I have to disagree that ALL canned beer tastes like a donkey's sack. Icehouse in cans is pretty good, and so is Corona. However, there is always the quintessential Guinness...
I will definitely be bringing my Big Black Guinness Hat.
They've turned me into an outlaw by outlawing my last vice.

I can't wait for this clean, wholesome adventure!!
