pie-eater 207 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Beer should not be drunk from a bottle. Cool it is not. The end of the story. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 What? So, you take a perfectly good glass container (the bottle) and pour the beer from there into another glass container (the glass) before you drink? Seems a waste to me! The peeps who make the beer go to extreme lengths (at least here) to make sure that the bottle is clean and sterile, why tempt things by pouring it into a glass that might not be anywhere nearly as clean?

surfarthur 22 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 At a restaurant, from a glass, other than that, bottle is fine. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If its a 750ml bottle, like used in home brews, and how beer USED to be bought all the time...(ok, so I am old), then a glass is expected, swigging from the bottle means your missus is cheating on you, or you lost your job. However if it is the single serve kind of beer bottle, go for it. A little slice of lime in the neck will posh it up if your friend is offended. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Let me explain a bit. I suppose the biggest point is that in a pub or restaurant I never drink lager. I always drink fine bitters and ales. And they are always pulled, and come from a barrel, into a pint glass. When I'm not in Japan anyway, where we always get the little glasses of jokki. Secondly, thirdly and fourthly, reminds me of these things: - chavs - 'pretend posh', as big-will so eloquently put it - American sitcom Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Depends on the situation, but if im at home I will happily drink from the bottle especially as it is already chilled. Waste of a glass that needs to be washed after, bottle I can just toss it into the recycle bin. End of!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I just called my wife to put a mug in the freezer for later this evening. I'm going to fill that puppy up and gulp it like I'm auditioning for a Japanese beer commercial....can't wait.. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There's a definitey ales / lager difference going on, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
