Hi all,
Hope some veterans with good memories can remember this, as I've been searching for some actual facts on this for a while.
Our group will have a gluten allergic/intolerant person with us this year (my girlfriend, hence my interest), meaning that she cannot drink beer. Obviously, she would still prefer being somewhat drunk like the rest of the gang, so here's my questions with this in mind:
1. The wacken mead - I'm pretty sure that's the honey-based wine, which means that should be good. Anybody know if there's wheat, barley or rye in for sure though? I haven't been able to find a full description of it online.
2. I see the plan over the holy wacken land says all the bars are "beer/met/cocktail" - what exactly do they mean with cocktails? Are we talking stuff like rum&coke and vodka&juice and whatnot or? I never paid attention to that stuff last year as I was happy just drinking beer all week
3. I guess cider can be bought outside the festival area (Legendary Edeka, or, if need be in Hamburg before we head out), but can anyone remember what you can actually get of that sorta stuff in Germany these days?
I'm pretty sure the food won't be a major issue as she can always get the steak sandwiches and dump the buns and stuff like that, but I do worry a bit about the alcohol
