Question About Pint Glasses

[T_O_A_D]

My wife picked these up today at a garage sale.

They told here they were from the UK

I said I'd ask my Buddies over there if they knew anything about them.

Pics are crap, but its got some sort of crown and clover on it?

Yup, they are indeed Looks like pub pint glasses as well.. No go get some real ale and enjoy a British drink

[Mayhem]

After a few pints you really won't care too much where they came from anyways.

Yup, that's just a bog-standard pint glass - and the crown verifies that it is indeed a full pint and not something slightly smaller. I think it's an offence to serve beer in a glass that hasn't got this mark.

The glass is of the style we call a "sleever". The one you have is for girlies - note the bulge about two-thirds from the bottom, designed to prevent the glass falling through the gripping hand. Real men use a straight glass (without the bulge) and rely on their grip to guide the foaming ale to the quaffing-hole.

Down South you can also find the other standard English beer-drinking utensil - the tankard. These are fairly girly too, which you can tell by the headless nature of the beer within. Or could that be lager?

Real men drink real beer from these.

Thanks Brando

I'll let her know.

I drink from the later two over here, But mine differ just a tad than what you posted.

More like this, and this one like frosty out of the freezer!
