This is what i am bringing, no photos of the 32 bottles home brew i am bringing (in plastic bottles) The Vodka will be put in a 2 lt (i jsut cant drink that cheap vodka) They have Smirnoff Ice in Plastic now and the strong bow is just awesome english cider. Bitburger is a good german Lager, and Oberon is a regional Wheat ale. I decided on a mixed drink that some guy at the liquor store recommended, 2 parts Absolute Ruby Red, 1-2 parts Pineapple juice and 3 parts orange juice, refreshing and with vitamins. The Coors is for guests (can't afford that much of the good stuff), The Frazia is Sangria, good in the heat and good for guests... Also some jim beam

as a first time Roo-er, I'm getting the impression that you should have extra beer just for people who don't have beer. Right? Which is cool...I'm not exactly poor and I'll be happy to share with some of my less fortunate brethen and sistren.
I remember when was I poor and smoked...I used to stuff Marlboros in a Newport pack when going to events like this. Then, when asked if I had a smoke to bum, they'd turn me down once they saw the green pack. I was the guy drinking your Coors...and I probably inadvertently stole your lighter. Sorry.
At 'roo it is always nice to have some extra beer for the less fortunate or just to share with whomever is up walking by your campsite at 5 AM looking for some people still awake to hang out with

I just went to the alki store today and was a good boy....only spent about 60 bucks.... but I think I might go back and get more beer and liquor before I leave. Can't help myself.
I have a cabinet full of glass, half drank bottles. Might be a good idea to premix some drinks into plastic bottles.....
That's a mighty haul. Well thought out too. I'll probably just end up bringing a bunch of cases of MGD, some sort of cheap plastic bottle whiskey and apple cider. I don't mind cheap stuff though, I haven't fiscally established myself in life to the point of growing accustomed to good stuff yet. Quantity over quality until I can afford otherwise.

Bought some fun stuff in duty free on my way home today - Mango Absolut for flavored margaritas and cachaca for caipirinhas. That's certainly not all we'll bring, but it was the fun stuff I found for a good price. Stupid weak dollar.

I love to drink the darker, more flavorful beers (big fan of Sam Adams, Yeugling and Amberbock); can you suggest some ales from any area north of Florida? I'm looking forward to partaking of the local tastes...

As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
you can fly with booze, it's just a pain in the ass. ask the cabbies in the city you fly into, cabbies know everything and they will be more than happy to take you to the best L store in the city (for a small fee).

While I sometime drink the beers you spoke of, i suggest that you take your love of the darkies to the next level, try some of the more flavorful dark beers like Schiders Avintinus (a Dopple wissen bock (sp?) or strong dark wheat) or some local indian brown ales. My problem with Sam Adams it they try to appeal to everyone and when you strive to offend no one, you astound no one.

speaking of alcohol.. i swear i read somewhere that there was a limit on how much beer you could bring. i'm not sure i would be anywhere close to bringing that limit - but i just wanted to know what it was... except now i can't find this information anywhere.

I'm pretty sure there IS a limit, but I am too lazy to find it, they've had it the past few years.
I think they dropped the limit this year. We had an earlier thread about this and no one could find the limit listed anywhere. Unless of course you read the back of your ticket, where it says alcohol is expressly forbidden. (not likely)
so as far as buying booze around the roo does anyone know where to go Im flying and would rather buy all the booze there
There are a couple liquor stores really close to the airport. You can get a cab to take you there. Be aware that liquor stores in TN sell only hard liquor. For beer and mixers you must go to a convenience store. Here's a map
1 - is a mom and pop liquor store w/ avg selection 2- is a big liquor store with a huge selection

Limit? I've never heard of a limit....seriously

I think there was a thread on this last year, but many of the good beers listed only come in bottles. What are the best beers available in cans? Something medium or dark-ish for me, but in general is fine too.

Mooching while maintaining dignity is a fine art. I'm glad those days are behind me.
Come on by--we'll be in an RV with a smiley face flag. Gee, that narrowed it down, huh?
;D
