    Those Pint ESB Glasses that look like a over sized Wine glass You sometimes get ESB served up in A Fullers House.

    Not keen on any of the above. I also find it difficult to drink out of a dimpled pint glass. They give me an ache from the back of my hand upto my forearm. Possibly a form of W****ers Cramp.

    Long glasses used to serve continental lagers like Peroni etc, especially when my Guinness gets served in one.

    Pewter tankards as well. As rp says, it does nothing for the taste, but also you can't see if you've got a cloudy pint, and it's impossible to tell how deep the froth is and thus if you need a top up.

    Yeah pewter tankards generally I don't like, usually dispensed by a pub as part of some misguided medieval pastiche.
    It's not big and it's not clever

    Yes-despite my whimsy on the other thread-I don't really hanker after pewter. Surprisingly, I quite like branded glasses, as long as they contain the right beer-Harveys in a Harveys pot!

    Me too, althouth the previous version (i.e. not that in PaulOfHorsham's avatar) was a much better glass...

    The last time I was in a Davy's, for reviewing purposes as I don't like them, I asked for a half and the manager served it in an over sized half glass and told me the measurements where exact and he couldn't fill it to the top. Hmmm!
