Apparently, the two-thirds pint “schooner” measure is being shunned by pubs (http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/General-News/Two-thirds-pints-are-being-shunned). I had imagined that they would have been of particular interest to specialist beer pubs offering higher-ABV draught beers, but apparently not. I can’t say I’ve seen them on offer in a single pub. Indeed, the whole raft of changes in measures and beer duty that came in on 1 October have so far proved to be the dampest of damp squibs. 2.8% ABV Skol? Result!
