This thread is going to get misinterpreted given the title. But here goes...
On the Bonnaroo website, under the announcement for the Troo Music Lounge, there is some comment about relaxing "sipping an ice cold Bud." Please tell me that Bonnaroo is not going the way of Langerado and limiting us to Budweiser products.
That would be a HUGE disappointment for me. The brewer's tent has always been a highlight of Bonnaroo for me.
Last year, if I remember correctly, most of the drink stations sold Bud and Bud Light along with water and lemonade etc. and there was one tent set up for the microbrew fest with all kind of good stuff
Yeah- let's all calm down. The Troo Music Lounge is one of the only sponsored music areas-- it's a Bud tent. But it also serves a bunch of other beers and I'd be remiss not to point out that the Broo'ers tent (full of nothing but microbrews) is right next to it.
Budwiser has been the official sh_tty beer of Roo for a while, but thankfully there are nearly a dozen microbrews available as well, for nearly the same price (VIP people can get them for basically the same price as a Bud in the catering tent).

As I was leaving last year for a father's day enagement as a restaurant in Knoxville I passed a couple guys selling cans of Guinness for a dollar each in the campgrounds. Arriving at the meal sober took a backseat to such an unpassupable deal. This has nothing to do with the thread at hand but, um, yeah, drinky drinky 'til the hippies aint stinky. Or something.
Yeah, Budweiser has been the official beer every year that I've gone.
Also, you don't just have to hit the Brooers Tent to find good stuff. I remember random good beers popping up around Centeroo. The stand that was selling Dale's Pale Ale stands out in my mind.
I emailed Magic Hat recently (I just bought a t shirt from thier online store) and asked them if they would be a Roo this year. They said yes - so they are confirmed...
If you don't like Natural Ice, you will be disappointed. That's pretty much all that anyone sells outside of Centeroo. Oh, and Natural Light.
hmm, sorry to post twice, but that's not really the case. I just saw a pic of myself holding a Sierra Nevada I bought on Shakedown when I was looking for pics of myself to post/use... I remember seeing Guiness, SN, Magic Hat, Bass and a host of other good beers for sale.

I've never been a huge drinker, but nothing beats pregaming with some Steel Reserve. Bar nights usually consist of pounding at least 2 before I pay for overpriced drinks.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!

Sure, you can get a Bud or Natty - but why!
Exactly!!!! If there was ever a time to cheap-out and get buzzed off nice beer. It would be Bonnaroo. I'll drink Bud, too. But I think the circumstances are grand enough to step it up a bit. You'll find be sipping on a Terrapin in the Brooers tent!

I bought ALOT of Guinness in the camps last year. I saw lots of people selling/buying/drinking Heineken too. You can find almost everything outside of Centeroo.

*WAAY Off Topic*
I got a cap out of a twelve pack I split with a buddy that said "You're a Winner! call *this number*." Then My Buddy (My Buddy, My Buddy and Meeeee) got one that said the same thing on his. I guess you win a t shirt, but I've been drinking MH for years and years and have never even heard of such a bottle cap and there were 2 in the same twelve pack. Freaking Nutso!
