Hedgecutter Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Only problem about glasses getting nicked is the wankers who insist of the correctly branded glass for their pint. Fancy lager glasses are the first to go. Won't lie: I've previously said that I'll have a Stella on the condition it doesn't come in one of those goblet things. The frilly bit of paper added around the base of the handle would probably send me over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Pinched a few over the years, some from just staggering home with one, others deliberately. My favourite is my West Beer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I have an extensive selection of nice pint glasses purloined from various drinking establishments. I find in some places, if you're honest about it and shove a few quid in the tips jar as recompense for the glass you've just "smashed" they turn a blind eye.

John Lambies Doos Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Pint's no a proper pint if it doesn't come with a handle attached to an assortment of glass rectangles. Unless it's a pint of guiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I once nicked a pitcher out of a pub. Just walked out with it at the end of the night and the bouncers didn't even blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobles Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I heard they didn't use them in Scottish pubs (well, Glasgow..) because the handle made it easier to smack somebody in the face with the glass. But your explanation makes sense. The pint glass being used as a weapon was what I was always told.The newer ones of similar design have no weight to them at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I haven't took a pint glass from a pub. Though I have took a lot of beer coasters and also a bar mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your explanation makes sense. You can't stack them and they don't fit efficiently in the dishwasher either. That's why we got rid of them.

senorsoupe Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've only got one nicked pint glass, i took it home while completely hammered with it half full of beer. I put it in my fridge thinking I would drink it the the next day, seemed like a good idea at the time. The next morning I took one sniff of the now stale beer in the glass and immediately tossed the old beer down the sink, still have the glass though.
