And there is more to “the consumer’s experience” than the aromatics or head retention of whatever you may be drinking. For that matter, there is more to the experience than the beer itself. Focus more on the glass in front of you than the place and people around you, and you’re likely to miss that.Personalized Pint Glasseshttp://glasscoasterstore.com/personalized-pint-glasses.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988439539543243190.post-27214769910510926882013-02-25T11:42:29.230-08:002013-02-25T11:42:29.230-08:00I love the idea of metred (marked) glasses but sus...I love the idea of metred (marked) glasses but suspect there would be major push back from the hospitality industry. For the protection of the consumer and for the appearances of transparency, laws like those that exist in the UK regarding using approved glassware only would be a major win for consumers here in BC.Paddy Treavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360223916204727525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988439539543243190.post-79173907236776203102013-02-25T06:56:15.756-08:002013-02-25T06:56:15.756-08:00Thanks Paddy - I hadn't noticed these differen...Thanks Paddy - I hadn't noticed these different-size-glass shenanigans locally, but I love how you proved them to exist - I think this is a nice bit of sleuthing that will benefit beer consumers. Great work. I'll certainly be keeping a sharper eye out in the future. <br /><br />Here's another area where marked glassware might also help: it's pretty hard to slip you less beer when there's a full volume mark on the glass, regardless of its shape. The only way would be to put an inaccurate volume mark on the glass, which is a good way to suddenly find yourself in front of a judge. Unfortunately, I expect those venues using volume-reduced glasses would be the last ones to voluntarily place volume marks on them. <br /><br />Cheers!hoploghttp://www.hoplogblog.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988439539543243190.post-74081263179936135932013-02-24T13:38:57.185-08:002013-02-24T13:38:57.185-08:00The problem for me, other than the ones you have a...The problem for me, other than the ones you have already highlighted quite succinctly, is that "shaker glasses" or "sleeves" here in Vancouver do come in various sizes. I can walk you into three different restaurants on Commercial Drive, all serving "sleeves" with one version having a 16oz capacity, one a 14oz capacity and one a 12oz capacity. I know this because I have taken a digital scale into these places, filled the glasses with water and weighed them, then weighed them all empty to get their capacities.<br />They all look the same to the untrained eye. The 12oz & 14oz "cheater sleeves" have thicker glass on the sides and a thicker bottom. <br />The licensees are not using a standardized size but do use a standardized term, "sleeve" for these glasses here in Vancouver and most likely in most places in BC. That is why I was pushing the CAMRA Campaign Fess Up to Serving Sizes (FUSS) so you know exactly the size serving you are ordering as sleeve has no standard size.Paddy Treavorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360223916204727525noreply@blogger.com
