Well, assuming that the glass came with a case of 12-oz. beers, I don't see the problem. It works perfectly for the cans or bottles with which it came.

If your looking for an addition to your glassware collection, pint glasses are fairly easy to find. ;)

440ml ones to be precise.

So? It may look nice, but it smells of someone trying to pull a fast one.

Indeed, which why I've already got a couple. :wink: However, the box was going cheap - ten for a tenner from Tessies' :)

Hey, you're English. It just wouldn't be right if we weren't screwing with you in some way.

You can't invade them like you'd like to, so you'll just keep messing with them until their head's explode?

Cool. That's pretty much the only show on the Discovery Channel worth watching any more.

I've heard that they're going to be testing that as well. It'd be great if it worked. :)
