Plastic Beer Glasses

[rachelbean]

Pint glasses made of 'safety glass' have been around for years - if you try to break them for use as a weapon they shatter into thousands of tiny pieces rendering them useless.

Yep. Walked by spoons the other day and there were a couple half shattered outside, just a bunch of tiny safety glass type pieces.

You know what's nasty? Beer in a steel can, which is the reason you don't have steel beer mugs. Leave it to the stupid French to fuck up beer. No wonder Belgium is a separate country

[Svartalf]

What the fuck? I always pour my beer from the steel can into a glass, I don't like to dring from iron.
and Belgians know to brew, they just have shitty taste and too sweet a tooth.

What about plastic beer goggles?

That god damn steel can ruins the taste. As bad as the Greeks that put wine in pine barrels. Oh wait, I forgot you like that shit. You Sir, are not French

Retsina is quite tasty, if the taste be an acquired one. As for steel ruining the taste, let it rest a couple minutes in a glass vessel and the beer is clean and crisp as it should.

Well I might try the steel beer suggestion

I had retsina once by accident. My uncle used to be a big time wine merchant working for a large US importer, he and my father tasted this abomination and then it somehow ended up in my beer bottles in the fridge. This was twenty year ago when I was back from college and I still remember that horrid taste. This was probably the good stuff because my uncle did not drink cheap.

There are quite a few beers that you can get either in cans or glass bottles here. I dare you to come over and tell me which has been in which, once I have poured both into glasses for you.

There are also beers that are simply disgusting regardless of draught, bottle or can(Carlsberg comes to mind with it's distinct aftertaste of vomit).

If you want lead, just ask Seth and Collector for some.

"Eat hot lead, asshole!"

I heard they were selling ersatz kalamari that was similar, but I'd never heard they were making it from lead...

beer doesn't come in steel. What century are you living in? They are aluminium cans. Secondly, beer comes in aluminium (and probably formerly steel) kegs, so when you drink real draught beer on tap, you are drinking beer that came from a metal container. And the stuff is brewed in steel and/or copper.

My usual brand uses mostly iron cans, only the top and bottom are non magnetic.

I don't know if the vats where you brew beer are steel, but no copper is involved: no distillation (distilled beer is called whiskey, remember?)

Maybe it's brass then. But the point is, beer is brewed and packaged in metal before it gets in your glass. Leaving it in metal doesn't change anything about it.
