Beer Glass Sizes Australia
i noticed in Australia, everyone drinks beer (well, lager) out of girly sized glasses called Schooners. Why?
This was in Sydney, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Cairns, Port Douglas etc. Incidentally, Sydney has no pubs at all really. Kings Cross was supposed to be lively, but it was empty and had only a few bars. Has it always been like this?!
Interesting! I don’t understand your idea that they drink Schooners so as to keep the beer cold for longer -it’s scientific fact that a greater volume of liquid takes longer to heat up, than a small one. So drinking pints would keep the beer colder.
Still most places we went to (not all) gave us little schooners even when we asked for pints.
Also, I admit there WERE pubs… but you’re right.. you do have to look harder for them than in England.
As for the English liking warm beer… beer/ale is best when it’s not cold. And we also put lager in the fridge.
Bloody hell mate, with the conversion from pound to Oz dollar you got the schooner for around 1 pound….but good to see you lived up to the stereo type and still found something to whinge about.
