Don't Quite Fancy A Pint Then Ask For A Schooner Measure!
Pub as well as club all across the country could be seeing a new glass measure hit their shelves. Welcome the 'Schooner' glass. Essentially, the schooner glass is a glass that holds the equivalent of two thirds of a pint. This has all come about because landlords want to sell higher percentage beer and cider and not be forced to use a pint glass. Reports have also claimed that this beer glass will give females a chance to order a beer in a smaller measure as reports have suggested that women think the pint is too much.
The name Schooner is a nickname created when a pint becomes too hot when out in the sun in Australia. Why people think that same methodology will apply to us in beyond me but pub landlords in the UK are taking it very seriously indeed. However, many critics from around the country are scared that the schooner will herald a shift away from the traditional pint itself. At the moment pubs are allowed to sell drinks in a pint, half pint and a third of a pint. The smaller glass will no doubt cause a huge amount of confusion for any pub's glassware and the glass does nearly look identical to a pint glass so this will definitely cause confusion. However, many people are in favour of getting this new pint glass as the idea to drink less is always a preferred incentive. It is the same with wine glasses. In many pubs they will only sell a much larger size wine glasses in the bar and in their dinnerware.
The Scottish Drinking Association does agree with this stating that it thinks there is no demand for the glass. Science and Innovation Minister Lord Drayson said: 'There is no question of replacing the British pint, but introducing the option of a brand new imperial measure is good for consumers and providing them with far more choice.
