Beer is serious business here @WeegieWoman so in case you or any of the others make ya way down here this is an ordering guide for you:

 

What do you call different size beer glasses....

 

24... in order.... glass, pot, schooner, pint, jug... but we don't really do Schooners in Melbourne... we are pots and pints but usually pots or jugs.

 

 

but cos if you mob up North come here for ya hols you may not come to Victoria... here are the translations for the other states:

 

[WeegieWoman]

I think but don't quote me in this but we go as far as a pint, and a half pint (we call the half pint simply a half). Why tf so many different measures of beer lol oh there's the big jug type they get in the German bars here I don't know the name though...do we say pitcher. We say pitcher for the jugs of cocktails.

[Doreensfree]

We say going for a jar...just sayin !!!

[notsmokinjo]

German one... is that a stein?

 

I dunno why so many sizes... probably cos if you were poppin in the pub for mornin tea or lunch at work and ya just wanted to wet ya whistle and not have a real drink you'd get a glass... but a pots a nice size to drink and top up from the jug if ya drinkin in shouts.... the little ones probs go back to the depression... ya wanted a beer but ya couldn't afford a big one... I reakon also cos we like our beer icy cold... if ya go for the big ones and ya wanna sit on it a bit it might warm up before ya drink it.
