http://www.wacken.com/de/main-news/news/ansicht/article/endlich-wacken-flaschbier-erha-ltlich/

Liebe Metalheads,

endlich haben wir es geschafft eine leistungsfähige Brauerei zu finden - die uns special WACKEN FLASCHBIER liefern kann. Mit der traditionsreichen Maximilliansbrauerei aus Bayern konnten wir endlich unser gewünschtes WACKEN BIER kreieren.

Und daher ist für Euch ab sofort bestellbar:

Exclusives limitiertes gekühltes WACKEN FLASCHBIER 0,5 l mit kultigem Plopp-Bügelverschluss zum
Preis pro 20 Flaschen/Kiste = 20,- Euro zzgl. 5,- Pfand:
Zahlbar direkt im Sparmarkt oder Supermarkt
Abholung ab Montag, 01.08.05

Dazu gibt es für jede Kiste for free eine unserer speziellen Luftgitarren mit Flaschenhalter.

Ihr könnt hier unter flaschbier@wacken.com Eure Kisten vorbestellen und gekühlt beim Sparmarkt (Dorfanfang) oder noch besser - direkt auf dem Gelände im Supermarkt (siehe Plan P3 - link) gekühlt abholen. Ihr habt dann kühles geiles Bier und nur noch wenige Meter zu eurem Campingplatz zu schleppen - mehr geht doch nicht.....!!!

Wir hoffen Euch hiermit gedient zu haben.

SKOAL!!

Euer
W:O:A Team

yay! Long live merchandise! Didn't they have Wacken energy drink once?

 

[gnoff]

Guess they have a brewery that made a beer that's gonna be labelled "Wacken bottled beer", to be sold at the super market in the Wacken village?

 

[My Selene]

I want to bring an empty. Just for the logo

 

[mugabe]

Why do I feel reluctant to send an e-mail and then go beerless to Wacken and count on the organisers not to mess up the orders/supplies?

It would be a good idea if you paid in advance.

 

[Zombi]

What is all this label crap? It's like wearing calvin klein underwear because of the name on it...

yes. Short translation:
The bavarian brewery Maximiliansbrauerei now made special Wacken bottled beer for us.
You can order it in advance by sending a mail to flaschbier@wacken.com .
1 box = 20 bottles are 20,- Euro plus 5,- Euro deposit.
You can fetch and pay your pre-ordered and cooled beer boxes at Spar market or festival supermarket from monday, 01.08. on.
For every box you´ll also get a special air guitar with bottle holder.

*sighs*
you know, actually we could learn a lot from Sweden, but obviously German politicians don´t want to learn

We also do have this other deposit system on the "real" returnable glass bottles and some plastic bottles like the CocaCola ones - you can return them in every shop too. That system has been working since I was a kid too.
Its only those non-returnable bottles and cans (which will actually be recycled after you return them) which is so strange

It's not the politicians fault that the supermarket chains in Germany are too stupid to cooperate...

I'd like one bottle just to try the taste of it.
MAybe one more to bring home to a friend.

Can you only pre-order, or is it possible to buy on site without order too, preferably not in whole cases, but single ones

 

[Lucretia]

well, I have no clue

 

[mikemyres]

Whats this deposit thing I still don't get it, can I buy like 48 cans from a shop aswell as the ones I take, and if i bring all 48 empty cans back where I bought it from I get money back? wtf?

yes. But you also get money back when you only bring back a few of them - well, at least then you get the deposit for the few cans

 

[mikemyres]

So huch is it in the beer garden at wacken for a pint of beer?

I reckon 3 euros for the beer and 1 euro as deposit.
