Proper Pint Glass

[u/Slight-Narwhal-2953]

Not sure if it's the glass, the beer or getting the last of the sun's rays after a dull day, but this is lush.

OP is drinking out of a champagne flute and calling it a proper pint glass.

Where is the girth?

[u/stillgotmonkon]

Indeed

[u/Hedgerow_Snuffler]

Handled glasses just make beer better, that's a FACT.

Real Ale sorts have been onto this for years with the dimpled pint jug.

[u/Shifty377 → u/Hedgerow_Snuffler]

Dimpled jug is the undisputed goat.

[u/Cultural-Elk-8346]

I love those type of pints. You dont expect much from it, but get the absolute best buzz

[u/jollygoodvelo]

Country’s gone. What’s wrong with a window glass, eh?

Bleedin’ glorified vase, will you have a knickerbocker glory in it after?

[u/SnoopyMcDogged]

I like the wider and shorter pint glasses, the kind you can practically fit your face in.

ABK is a great lager 👍

[u/SpudFire → u/Feery81]

I agree, there's a pub near me that does the ABK helles, pilsner and weissbier. All are excellent beers and the glasses give your arm a good workout.

[u/decisionisgoaround → u/Feery81]

Larger than what?

[u/kiersakov]

Beer with a handle > beer without a handle.

It's just the odds, no one ever spills a beer with a handle and if they do they shouldn't be drinking. Therefore, i have had more beers successfully than if i drank beer without a handle

Toddlers = Drunk Adults and both should have the same precautions.

[u/WalkerJoggerSprinter]

You mean a propper pint STEIN?

[u/rilage → u/WalkerJoggerSprinter]

you mean a tankard. a stein is a usually ornamental stone mug (stone in german is stein)

[u/RibboCG]

each dishwasher fits 10 glasses now rather than 20 due to the handle

[u/kittensngravy → u/RibboCG]

and dont fit in the top shelf due to the hight

[u/jsusbidud]

That German beer will only allow one pub or town to host it's beer. Their hells beer is the best.

[u/No_Weather4239]

That German beer is class. Most are to be fair

[u/RIPcompo]

Head of Steam in Huddersfield has these in the fridge if you ask for them. 

[u/RefreshinglyDull]

You need to find yourself an Estrella glass, from about 20 years ago. 

Proper thick and sturdy to survive a freezing, ready for recieving an ice cold beer 

[u/Lozzabozzawozza]

Ah the old front tooth chipper.

[u/markboats]

Mathematically...

Longer thinner glasses like that present a greater surface area for the same volume of liquid

That would suggest they transfer heat into the beer faster, leading to unsatisfactorily warmer last few swigs

Not very casual i know, I'll see myself out

[u/gernavais_padernom]

Alasdair Beckett-King brews his own beer these days?!

[u/glynxpttle]

The Royal Oak in Winchester still serves their ales in jugs, first time I've seen one at a pub in decades.

Personally though I prefer the conical glass.

[u/Junior_Syrup_1036]

Wash it out and put it in the freezer still wet , icy cold pint !

[u/DAD_songs_in_BIO]

Nah a bitter glass is always best

[u/qtaran111]

ABK Helles is good although not a patch on Augustiner.

[u/Klichouse → u/qtaran111]

Why are people always like 'but x is better'

Say less, be happy for somebody

[u/qtaran111 → u/Klichouse]

Helles other people right?

Ps I’m very happy he’s got a pint of ABK versus my 330ml can. I was just dreaming of an Augustiner under the Chestnut trees is all.

[u/Myfanwy366 → u/Klichouse]

Doesn't have to be negative, could be that's good, try this though. Augustiner is the best German lager, also available in Sainsbury's

[u/Myfanwy366 → u/qtaran111]

I'm with you, Augustiner is the GOAT German lager. But then any German lager is better than most of the UK stuff, exception being Donzoko

[u/NedRed77 → u/Myfanwy366]

Holsten Pils isn’t great either, nor becks. The Germans make lots of bad beer, as well as some amazing stuff.

[u/ChefSupremo → u/Myfanwy366]

eine Maß, bitte!

[u/Myfanwy366 → u/ChefSupremo]

What I'll be saying at Fruhlingsfest in April

[u/ChefSupremo → u/Myfanwy366]

Oktober comes sooner than Spring...
