    Who likes a handle and who likes a straight glass. And does anyone like one that looks like a vase with the flowers taken out.

    I like a handle. Especially when supping cold lager in the summer.

    Booze in jugs, is that what happens when a breastfeeding woman has a bottle or 2?

    My local always asks which you’d prefer if you’re on proper beer instead of crappy mass produced stuff.

    When I lived in NZ you were served beer in a 2.5pint jug and given a half pint glass. Much easier

    Jug with a handle. Very rare, had my drinks in one for the first time in ages last night – and at a pub I spend a lot of time in and have never been given a jug before. Highly appropriate as I was with a load of people dressed up Victorian style, and it’s kind of an old fashioned thing. Bloke I was with beats either though – he brought his own pewter tankard!

    Straight. I have a nice leather and pitch tankard too for when I’m playing out.

    Doesn’t sound very STW. As a minimum standard you should be aiming for freshly brewed 15% Imperial rasberry sour stout colab ipa at an invite only tap room in an industrial estate (or a barn). Plastic school chairs and tables made out of pallets, candles for lighting and fresh food provided by a married lesbian couple serving goats cheese and vegan crisps.

    I only used to drink from the skulls of my vanquished enemies but sadly they aren’t dishwasher safe so I had to go all modern and use a pottery tankard instead.

    My first shift in a very nice country pub I used to work in (been in Country Life magazine etc.), and I made the mistake of serving the person who’d been waiting longest instead of one of the local farmers at the far corner of the bar.

    The chap – who I later learned was called Joe – threatened to come behind the bar and lamp me if I didn’t get my priorities in order. He had a glass tankard with his name engraved on it, and much later one of the waitresses accidentally dropped and smashed it. Joe took it better than I expected, but she was very, very attractive 😆

    The pub I now have as my regular drinking spot not only has sleeve and old-style dimple mugs, it also has these, which I always ask for:

    They cost £6 on Amazon!
    I’ve got one, put a fiver in the charity box, and one from another pub I was a regular at, with Fuller’s ESB etched on the front.
    Even better, my regular pub has a beer loyalty card for regulars, buy five pints and get the sixth free! 😀

    No, Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre – we were doing a themed interactive street theatre thing https://www.facebook.com/events/102979060426337/ – which the public seemed to really enjoy, though apart from spending 4 hours a night in the cold, I reckon it was far more fun for us performers! (those who know what I do should be able to find some pics of me in https://www.facebook.com/pg/WorcesterFayre/photos/ 😉

    Back on topic, the really strange thing is I was at the same pub again last night, but went initially with a different group. My first pint bought by one of my mates from that was in a straight glass, the next ones bought by the organiser of that event came in jugs (yeah, I was “freeloading”, but the beer was “payment” for our labour)

    surely id depends what your drinking ?

    at home i like a pilsner glass – in the pub i do like when you get a tankard but alas most of the time when i drink out its in a shit hole and you get an “ale” glass.

    what i hate is the dinky glasses brewdog use(legitimately my local brewery ;)) . what is this thimble of uselesness i asked for a pint. try again.

    i was being slightly tongue in cheek but i posted the picture so i could identify the glasses i like to drink from as other wise i would have said something like “the tall wineglass with the short stem style”

    Well there we go, I’ve been drinking stout out of jugs. But then I’ve been drinking a lot of stout recently, including in that pub and always got straight glasses before.

    They don’t show a proper straight glass in that picture though – of the sort in bikebouy’s pic. That’s what pubs round here mostly seem to serve in nowadays rather than an “ale” glass.

    Straight with a bulge at the top to stop your hand slipping off.
