Can you settle a dispute for me? A friend and I were debating (and placed a bet!) on whether one is to drink by holding the wood handle or by removing the glass from the stand. I find a lot of disagreement about it, but no official source.
- jnurmine 2y agoIsn't it a bit difficult to get the glass full of beer out of the handle without making a mess?
- cnity 2y agoSomewhat, but then on the other hand when you are down to the last bit of beer in the spherical portion of the glass, you have to tilt the whole apparatus so much that the bulb starts to slip out of its wooden bowl. I nearly broke the glass this way because it toppled out. Honestly the whole thing is a bit of a gimmick and it would probably work better if the glass had a flattened bottom. The beer is delicious though, IMO.
- madaxe_again 2y agoI’ve only ever taken the glass from the stand - holding the whole apparatus feels unworldly. Also, as a gentlemanly rule, once you pick it up, you do not put it down until it’s empty.
