I wish the US sold beer in the standard half liter bottle like the rest of the world. One half liter bottle is just the right size for me for one drink. A 12 oz bottle in the US is too little and two bottles is often a little more than I want.

I feel the same way about coffee.

Except the part about not wanting a second liter.

(Referring to the beer pitch picture.)

But who would see this particular advertisement??? I'm assuming though, that the field's rather remote...

Head on down to "N'awlins" They like to sell 10oz beers, even in stores.

Thanks Rupert. :thumb:
OK, so each type of beer must go in a specific type container. Do the different Brands, of say lager, get served in the same mugs or must they be Brand specific?

thanks for the warm welcome :)

@ prof. russotto: european cans are mostly 333ml - but I wanted to keep it simple, in order not to confuse you guys ;) - which was obviously an unnecessary fear!

@xoxoxobruce: usually the brewery pays quite a lot to the restaurants / bars in order to be the primary supplier. its is a very good business. They not only provide all the glasses with their logos on it, but sometimes also the tap technique or even parts of the furniture.
So it is quite unusual to not have the right glass for the desired beer. some bars however don´t give a shit about that rules, are independent and put the beer in a glass without any brand

Oh, I see. We've been seeing that with Coke and Pepsi here, buying exclusive rights at fast food chains and school campuses.
The beer companies commonly pay to paint their name on independant supply trucks here.
Thanks again for the beer culture lesson. :)

Beer comes in bottles, what the hell do you need glasses for?

Oh, REAL beer. I'll just lay down under the tap and you keep it running, all right?

I do remember and wish I had a koelsch right now.

Despite the name I beleive Kronenburg is a French beer hence the blanc and they probably don't serve it in Koln either

[quote]Glasses for Pils look like that: http://www.beerglass.nu/veltins.html and are 0,3 liter.

One of the realy trick things about Germans and beer in glasses, such as above with a stem, is that the beer "mat or coaster" fits around the stem and above the base of the glass. This stops the drips of condensation before they get to the table and also remains attached to the glass.

When I came home from Germany, I must have had 75 or so of the place mats. None the same. Mom cleaned house one day and there went my coasters and hand grenades :smack:

bB,

Reminded me of a 404 type screen I got one day when surfing that said someting to the effect.

"This URL is not available at the moment probably because my Mom has cleaned my room and inadvertently pulled out the plug...."

LCanal - you're right.
