I tried the cheapest pint at Glasgow's TRSNMT Festival 2025
There have been warnings to stay hydrated as temperatures have soared this weekend, and speaking from experience, it's an absolute scorcher. According to the weather app I have, it's 28 degrees in the East End right now - Costa Del Glasgow stuff. I took to the food stalls and bars across the festival site to track down a thirst-quenching pint of beer in between seeing some great acts.

However, on a roasting hot day like today, there's nothing that's going to satisfy my dry mouth like a nice cold pint of beer. There isn't a selection of different beers, just Carlsberg Pilsner - in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options - on the menu and for cider drinkers, there are pints of Somersby. And the bars are all standardised, so there wasn't a lot of good in my shopping around. I tried the cheapest pint at Glasgow's TRSNMT Festival 2025 (Image: Newsquest) READ MORE: Singer James Bay tells his Scottish fans THIS during his TRNSMT set The Carlseberg pint, a 3.4% beer, comes in at a price of £6.75. Now, it is a price that I'd baulk at paying for a bog-standard lager in any pub. However, I felt the price was worth the pennies as the pint I received was ice cold. On a day where Glasgow feels like it's been pulled closer to the sun and with sweat literally lashing off of me (apologies for the detail) it was worth it. All credit must go to the bar staff who were working tirelessly to ensure that the drinks were flowing and kept cool. It's a struggle to battle the heat at TRNSMT this year, so for the extra few pounds and pence on a pint to have it kept cool, I'd gladly pay the price. While the acts keep playing and the weekend continues, there's one thing that's taken centre stage - the sunshine. If Carlsberg did festival weather.... Please stay hydrated at the festival this year, as temperatures soar, and make sure to drink responsibly. There are free water point throughout TRNSMT.
