Glassware: Size Matters

Posted by in Food and Fun on February 11, 2011 5:38 pm / no comments

Recently I noticed a disturbing trend.  Bars giving small glasses.  It is one thing to order a draft beer and it be given in a smaller glass assuming the price is right.  It is totally another to be served a beer with a glass that can not hold a standard bottle of beer.  Beer as we all know is a complex beverage.  If the beer I ordered has sediment maybe I want that.  Nothing is more annoying than having to constantly tell a busboy to not take the half-empty bottle.  Besides bars have lots of options for glassware besides using a juice glass.

As for 22 oz and other large bottles.  Those get a pass on my glass must fit the beer rule.  So remember if your in a bar and beer is not being served right speak up.  Make the request for the right size glass!
