Schooners

Feeling a bit of a buzz from dinner and got to thinking. Is schooner a reconizable size of beer to order in a restruant outside of Canada?

Haven't heard it around here. The most common would simply be a pint, on rare occasions you might stumble into a pub that will sell you a yard.

Myabe you should just get a man sized Pint :eyepoke:

Glass is 12oz pint is 18oz schooner is 32oz. Rather common around here but wasn't sure if it was anywhere else. Man sized pint, aren't those for kids and women?

Ouch! I do believe that most states will not allow a restaurant to serve that much beer to one person at a time!!! Stupid laws

Down here pint is 16 oz and 32 oz is a quart. Now I've picked up a few quarts back in the day!

Just seems like the perfect size for decent draft beer. You start to catch a buzz after 4 and are loaded by 8. No need to look like a drunk ordering pitchers to yourself.

There's a brewing company near my place that serves 20 oz pints. Yes! and no, schooner is not a recognized term in American taverns for the most part.

Truer words could never be spoken my brother!!

Yep. Back in the day used to frequent a place that you had the choice of a schooner. Never knew it was a specific measure. Always knew it was a bigger glass. "Do you want the regular glass or a schooner of beer sir?" Stupid question.

I was in a bar that served those a couple of weeks ago. I felt like I was working out and drinking beer at the same time!

I've never heard it used in Chicago.

I go to an "English Pub" called the Cock 'n Bull in Covington, KY and they serve many great beers in those huge glasses. It gets pricey real quick!
