must admit i usually drink 1/2 pints at festivals just to get round as many beers as possible
I wonder if this is a pathetic attempt to camouflage high prices. Personally I wouldn't bother with it at all if they don't sell pints. I HAVE drunk a third of a pint before but it was the 22% Brodie's Elizabethan Ale which costs the same as a pint and to be honest is so sweet and heavy that you need to knock back a pint of Romanov Stout afterwards just to clean the palette.Quote:
