[Closed] Booze in jugs

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

Handle glass every time, hard to find in pubs in the UK.

Plastic, straight sides, every time

Traditional pineapple tankard, half if I'm running a beerfest 'cause halves don't count.
Plastic litre beaker for vino.

Will it have the same feel as silicone .

Yeah Eddie ..my idea of heaven too 8)

Yeah Eddie ..my idea of heaven too

...won't the beer get warm though!? 😕

Tall, upright and straight..

No “froth” or “head”

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

Straight glass . With a head.

Booze in jugs you say?

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

Straight.

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.

There's a pub in arncliffe in the Dales that still only serves pints in a jug out of a barrel.

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.

....close.

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.

i Drink my special brew straight out of the can like everyone else down the park benches, although this time of year I Like to keep it cloaked in a festive bag to stay one step ahead of plod.

JimJam, that IS my local! 😉

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! 😀

Real beer in the pub!

Not the Dickens Festival down in Rochester by any chance?

No, Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre - we were doing a themed interactive street theatre thing

- 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

😉

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)

straight glass every time

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.

surely id depends what your drinking ?

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.

trail rats picture is correct. I drink ale hence an ale glass

Definitely prefer a jug, preferably dimpled.

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

It's nature's way.

stumpy tulip glass for bottled beer.
a handle for halves.
straight with a bulge for pints.
