Hipster type sitting next to me has a jam jar full of water. What’s wrong with a bottle?

If you can see anything other than that hat in the distance, of course.

When did all this silliness of drinking from jam jars start? Seen also in bars recently.

More importantly, when will it end?

As I understand it it’s a faintly embarrassing nod toward environmentalism and recycling. I saw someone doing it in the Tyneside the other day whilst working on his screenplay and playing with his pipe.

Are you sure it is water and not good old Moonshine?

is that a boozer?

looks grim.

Been in bars we knock about in for about a year.

Where you been drinkin? Local workin men’s club ? 😆

It is all to do with the trend for environmental push back.

surely it’s his “beaker” and he’s reliving last night’s entertainment ?

Do their bit for the environment, whilst on the internet! -shakes head!

Ton, it’s in a piddly little airport in Montana.

Recycling? OK, but I’ve got my Camelbak Podium bottle with me and am refilling as and when. Much more practical, surely?

Camelbak Podium

Goes with the cheap luggage I suppose.

We sell them. 4 jam jars with screw on lids and a straw.
Won gift of the year 2014.
Stops people slipping drugs in your drink as well.

Jam jars

PAH

The Canadians have been doing this for years.

LOL @ kimbers, series one was the bomb.

CFH did Montana run out of post it notes?

He’s away ?

Piss in the jamjar 🙂

Clearly a marmalade/syrup jar

Whilst waiting for a plane.

He looks like a right self-facilitating media node in that hat 😀

aren’t there restrictions on what size bottle you can take on a plane, even if it’s not full? Maybe the jar can be a way to carry a drinks vessel (empty) and get around that. If you take the lid off you can claim it’s a glass.

+ maybe he prefers drinking out of a glass than a bottle and this is free rather than buy a wide necked nasty chemical free plastic bottle.

Its not a jam jar its a mason jar. And the hipsters love the mason jar.

Where you been drinkin?

Paradise by way of Kensal Green. I am definately cooler than you and I have not witnessed this fad 😛

Just pop in to Apple before ‘hitting’ the Mason Jar store…

Good lord

I was hoping the hipster thing was already fading away

Thing is I reckon CFH would love one of these

I dunno. Normally I’d say live and let live. Some people have different tastes and ideas and ways of living their lives, it shouldn’t really bother me. Hipsters, however, seem to be the exception.

Gin in a tea cup and vodka in a sweet jars FTW.

I thought Thin Lizzy did whiskey in the jar?

The Dubliners released it prior to Thin Lizzy

Hipsters, however, seem to be the exception

This

It’s just so false, forced, trying too hard to look like a top hat.

I don’t know why it riles me, but I found myself annoyed by a guy in the gym because of his beard and rolled up sleeves on his t-shirt 😀

Its simple, they are attention seeking pricks who are desperate for you to engage them in conversation so they can spout utter shite about how innovative and wonderful they are.

Upcycling or some shite like that.

Get with it. Glasses are far too mmainstream.

Here in China, it is quite normal for them to use Jars for drinking tea of it.
Why pay for a bottle, when you can re-use a Jar for it.

(beer in this case)

Anyway, that ain’t whiskey in a jar.

Was in the slug and lettuce in Manchester last weekend and noticed that some of the cocktails came in jars, but with holes in the top for a straw.
Just wait until he drops it

The jar doesn’t bother me, the wearing of hats indoors however..

There’s a barbers down the road where the staff wear woolly hats. What sort of advert is that?

Reminds me of STW’ers and 29’ers

I hate it when people aren’t exactly the same as me. Properly winds me up.

You clearly are waaaayyyy cooler than me, post pics, lets decide 😆

Are they? Are they really or is it just a different image? An image you don’t like, fine. Punks got a lot of stick too back in the late 70’s.. Most Hipsters are normal, just like the rest of Human society.
Though had to laugh, my friends came over from Berlin last year and they came over just as the nekkid Boris Bike event was on and the first question they asked was… “show us some Hipsters and take us to the places they hang out” hilarious. 😆
They went back thinking London was proper Trendy 😆

Anyways up, whose not been in a Pub and asked for a “jar” of Beer?

It’s about time we recycled all those Bonne Maman Jam Jars donchafink? 😆

Using jars as drinking vessels is described in a few John Steinbeck novels (Cannery Row from memory) so maybe that is where this trend originates?

Fwiiw I was served beer in a jam jar in a diner in Downieville, CA about ten years ago.

I agree with CFH that a Camelback bottle is far more practical.
