The glass size you refer to is pictured below, fourth from the left, whilst next to it at the end is a just-smaller-than-a-British-pint glass. I know which I'd prefer, and also a glass of beer is a glass of beer here, not a glass of beer is half a glass of beer and half glass of foam! :roll:

Well, ideally it'd be the Litre jug on the left, but I'm not a greedy person :arrgh!:

Bitburger is from the barbaric regions across the river. And the glasses are about 0.3 liters, my guess is that the Einbecker next to it is also 0.3 as it comes in 0.33 bottles - never drank it from a glass ;)
I have never tasted the Aventinus in the middle, but the pale color makes it look like used beer...

Here is a size comparision:

Our delicious brew is the one in the middle. On the left, in the flower vase, is the "beer" from Cologne, also in 0.2l "glasses".

The picture shows a dangerous situation, if the Alt and Kölsch glasses would touch each other, the world would explode...:o

Should I feel honored my necro'd bday thread has turned into a beer thread?

YES :DL And let me continue the topic:

I preffer the 0.3 glasses. I can't drink a pint fast enough without that nice cold beer turning into a warm glass of stinking liquid. I usually order two small bottles (0,3) than one regular (0,5) to keep it cold

Happy smurfin' B-day.:salute::woot:

necro bump

hey, maybe we'll keep this thread alive till Gargamel's next bday! :DL

Jup, this is the reason why small glasses are better, provided that the resupply works.
I don't understand those primitive tribes in the South, like the Bavarians, who let their beer become warm in their 1l Mass glasses.


wouldn't this be considered swearing, in relation to Gargamel? :know:
I mean this is the equivalent to saying "Happy satanic bday" to a devout Christian :D

Either drink faster :yeah:, or drink real ale - the stuff that doesn't need to be cold :yeah:.

And how do the Slovenes fill the glass, with liquid or foam? :hmmm: :arrgh!:

Pee :DL:O:

I think we have a "post of the year" winner right there.:har::haha::har::yeah::salute:
