T_O_A_D Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 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?

Mayhem Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 After a few pints you really won't care too much where they came from anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Brando Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
