The Beer Prices at Sziget Won’t Shock You, But the Plastic Cups Will

A bit of a heads up to those heading out to the Sziget Festival: expect an unwelcome shock with the first sip of Dreher you get from the tap. I asked a bartender, who said the problem was with the crappy plastic cups that create an unusual amount of static electricity. So, don’t be surprised when your beer comes with a little bite.

    I noticed this yesterday and it definitely happens with each fresh drink. After a while you don’t really notice it though…

    My advice: Buy some ásványvíz, keep the plastic bottle, and then just pour your beer into that each time. A much easier and more pleasant way to consume it, and you’re less likely to spill it while drinking it.

    Although probably not while actually trying to get
    it into the bottle.

    I kinda started liking it by the Sunday, gave me a
    little kick and some extra energy…perhaps there’s
    a future for electro-beer therapy?
