Whats that HUGE glass that people drink out of in the british pubs?
Its really long and sphere shaped at the bottom.
Has it got a specific name or anything?
Just thought i'd ask coz i dont know what its called lol
Thanks x x x x
It is called a Yard of ale glass and it dates back to the days of horse drawn carriages, where the long glass could be handed up to the driver.
They vary in the volume they hold between two and a half to three pints, and often used these days as a drinking challenge, here's how they are drunk.
