Look out for special offers at your supermarket. Mine were doing a deal buy two 4 packs of Carling and get a free glass. I think I have 5 or six
They look like this

Also when you go to a beer festival you buy your glass on the way in and use it all day tasting/drinking beer. Take it home and you have a nice straight glass with a remnder of your day

I've just bought that glass so thanks or the link. I've never been to a beer festival as whenever the one in my town in on I'm always working. I might see when it's on then see if I can get the day off work.

That was only an example to show what it was like. If you can cancel it, here is 4 for £12.20 or just nick one from a pub

I only want one so I'm happy paying £6:55 for a single glass

Yes, Carling as I quite like the design. The important thing is I don't drink Carling.

Tell that to your house visitors.

I like Carling and apparently im not the only one

UK sales in 1999 were one billion pints, in 2007 2.3 billion pints (over six billion worldwide), in 2009 4.1 billion pints (11.6 billion pints worldwide), in 2010 17.6 billion pints worldwide, in 2011 24.9 billion pints worldwide.

The masses are, on the whole, thick and have no taste. See pop music and Mcdonalds for other examples.

Pint of carling and a beetroot Efag.

Wonderful.

I have a Dartington tankard I was given for my 18th birthday which is still going strong over 20 years later (probably helped by my not drinking ale through my student years - I only saw the light later on). The closest match today is this, though the lip is slightly different.

Must admit treated myself to some of these http://www.waterford.co.uk/drinkware/by-collection... and find them very nice for drinking beer (as opposed to the assorted variety of pint glasses we have)

I like those. But for £25 a glass I'd want free refills.

They do beetroot flavour cool

I recently broke my favourite beer quaffing glass; an old Caffrey's pint+ straight. Slightly oversized to accommodate the lively head of the original Caffrey's nitrokeg draught, it was perfect for taking an imperial pint.

I've got another 60-odd old / odd / rare beer glasses to choose from, but nothing I'd want to press into regular service

It seems my memory was wrong as I bought the Carlsberg glass not the Carling glass, also it was the Carlsberg glass I preferred the look of. I did have a look at bigger glass specifically this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Giant-Beer-Glass-Holds-Pin... but then I thought it might be too heavy to lift just for a casual drink.

I've also looked to see when the local beer festival is and found out it was a few weeks ago so no luck there, I also found out that the Sussex beer festival was 2 weeks ago so it looks like I won't be able to go to a beer festival till next year.

Im always on the lookout in summertime for a lovely pair o jugs! They seam to feel much nicer and make me feel happier too.

I can't work out if this thread is a wind up or not, but on the assumption that it isn't, I recently picked up a glass similar in shape to this:

...a nice shop in Bruges where they sell glasses to match the beers they sell.

As a fan of Belgium beers I tend to pick up a glass or two when over there. I like the tradition of serving specific beers in their own glass. My other half doesn't like this tradition as I have a cupboard full of diffrent beer glasses.

I recently got one of these from Ikea, it's a really nice solid glass and only cost a quid, holds 630ml.

A few years ago, I mentioned to a barman that I really liked the look of the Carling pint glasses. He wrapped up six and gave them to me. Apparently, he gets them for free.


It might be worth asking down at your local.

2. This one is a sad momento of when they closed down my local pub. I assure you I did my best to keep it open.

I still have a very similar one after my old drinking hole got closed for refurb - and was promptly ruined.

That was about 1989 and is probably the only glass my wife hasn't managed to break yet! All my beer festival & folk festival (not a lot of difference tbh!) special glasses have met their doom in the washing up bowl...

OP, get yourself a Stein - then you can happily tell the Missus that "Yes dear, I've only had two glasses..."
