Ahb Beer Glasses - Time To Decide

[Borret]

We used to dream o' shoebox

 

[warrenlw63]

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

The Australian Table Wines sketch
From Monty Python


A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a
pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette,
but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavored
Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's
best sugary wines.

"Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and
its lingering afterburn.

"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favorably to a Welsh claret,
whilst the Australian wino society thoroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du
Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles
of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney
Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an
hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a
bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a
wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is
particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an Appalachian
control, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine
which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning
"Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga", which has a
bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

LOL! :lol:

How times have changed. I'm picking the Poms have a slightly amended opinion of Oz wines now.

For something different I would even go for an Aventinus style glass although I have never seen them on any of the glassware sites. However I might try to get one (purchase) at this years octoberfest. Love the drink and the glass. And will look good next to my schnieder original galss.

I have a small Aventinus glass, courtesy of my fave bottle shop. Might be a good place to look first.

Seth,

Chittaway tavern (over the road from work) has both sizes (330 and 500) leading up to oktoberfest (they also put on a really go do too.) They usually come free with a five packof beer.

Is the favourite bottle shop the affore mentioned one in Kahibah?

[RichLum]

Maybe we should try and source some of these.....

could probably even fit everyones name on the glass!!!

[big d]

ya call that a glass.
try this one made in sweden the worlds largest.holds 61.6 litres which might just make the distance on a ahb shout.

 

[Borret]

More cc's than a freight train.

Bet you'd feel like one had hit you too after an encounter with that.

Borret

 

[Doc]

Pretty impractical, and would probably not last many big sessions, but nice to look at.

Beers,
Doc
