In A Barrel Landlord
 

Do any blokes still insist on drinking their beer from a barrel glass or are they now obsolete?Have'nt seen one for ages in a pub,though i suspect some country type pub might still use them.

MOst pubs still have a few and I know some people who do insist.

Having said that I like the glasses that are straight sided witha shoulder 3/4 of the way up, all these curvy ones are like vases to me :D

We had quite a few when I worked at the club and yes some customers insisted on a barrel glass

I know someone who has his own glass behind the bar at one place.

Used to be common place at most pubs, probably still done at some "local" pubs.

and some had rows of pewter tankards hung up for the regulars, got one for my 21st but to be honest didn't really like it.

Always used a barrel in the past, but have become more sophisticated now I'm getting older, I'd drink it from a lime fillers clog, never mind a barrel:D

Most pubs still have barrel glasses, you only have to ask

Do they still have the 1/2 pint ones ?

Re: In A Barrel Landlord
 

I always ask for a barrel glass were ever i drink dont like the stright glass
plus it keeps the beer cooler in summer. as for 1/2 pint potsthere are very few about these days the last one i saw was a couple a years ago

always preferred the barrel glass, though the barrels way back were better cos they only had a "Small Flat" bit at the top of the glass, so was easy to pick up n sup with yer teeth, whilst rolling a fag.:D always had class.:rolleyes:
