Tandleman's Beer Blog - Two Thirds Legislation Delayed?

Visit the Tandleman's Beer Blog site


The Publican's Morning Advertiser had the news the other day that Heineken is to launch a range of two-thirds pint glasses to trade customers from November 2011.They say that "Under new regulations coming into force on 1 October, pubs will be able to sell draught beer and cider in two-thirds glasses"

Now a little bird tells me that this legislation has been delayed until next spring at the earliest and that UK glass suppliers have no samples to offer breweries. I quote from my source "As a result of knowing this, our manufacturers currently have no pre-production samples or images yet as styles for production are still being decided.". Clearly this would, if true, disappoint some and be a matter of indifference to others.
Has anyone else heard this and does anyone know if this is actually the case?

My proposed article about the two thirds measure is delayed until the position becomes clear. And the first person that calls it a schooner to me will be knocked out.https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...g.blogspot.com
