Quote:

Neil Williams from the association said he was concerned that drinkers would notice a drop in quality.

"For the drinker, the pint glass feels better, it has a nice weight and the drink coats the glass nicely. That's why people go out for a drink, to have a nice experience."

a shame.

I have three types of glasses at my home

Crystal weizen type glasses (pint)
Whiskey Tumblers
and pint Mugs

i always have at least 2 of each type frozen.

the Weizen glasses are for any of my wheat beers, where i really want to savor the color and scent of the beer.

the whiskey tumblers, i enjoy Dissaronno Amaretto almost exclusively

pint mugs, mainly for american beers, or any particularly dark beer...

plastic cups are for broke college boys.

The bars that have a problem with people smashing gasses in each others
faces don't tend to be the classy kind of establishment where one can relish
the authentic feel of real glass. I have no problem if hey are required to use
plastic.
Some of the rougher places near me already do.

All my beer mugs and glasses are pint sized. the size beer is ment to be drank in.
