Many pubs scross England could soon be welcoming a new beer glass into their sweaty palms. Say hello to the ‘Schooner’ glass. The schooner glass holds a total of two thirds of a pint. The move follows mixed pressure from the pub trade which wants the option to sell stronger beers and ciders in smaller measures. Reports have also claimed that this beer glass will give females a chance to order a beer in a smaller measure as reports have suggested that women think the pint is too much.

Pint glasses were too big and got hot in the sun so the Aussies created a schooner which is half the size and half as manly. Why people think that same methodology will apply to us in beyond me but pub landlords in the UK are taking it very seriously indeed. Yet, some critics from around the country are scared that the schooner will create a boycott effect on the pint glass. There are three different variations for a pub; pint, half pint, third pint. The smaller glass will no doubt cause a huge amount of confusion for any pub’s glassware and cutlery as the glass itself looks almost identical to a pint glass and there will no doubt be mistakes. However, many people are in favour of getting this new pint glass as the idea to drink less is always a prefered incentive. It is the same with wine glasses. In loads of clubs and pubs they will only ever sell a larger glass wine glasses in the bar and in their dinnerware.

The Scottish Licensed Trade Association said there was no call for the two-third pint measures saying, ‘What good is this going to do anyone?’. Science and Innovation Minister Lord Drayson said: ‘There is no question of replacing the British pint, but introducing the option of a brand new imperial measure is good for consumers and providing them with far more choice.
