TWO-thirds of a pint of lager and a packet of crisps please, barman.

It may sound odd but this is what drinkers will soon be able to order after one of the biggest changes to booze measures for more than 300 years.

Britain’s biggest brewer Heineken expects to be the first to see some of its beers sold in the new-size glasses from November. They are known as schooners in Australia.

It is pouring around £3million into the initiative following the change to laws dating back to 1698 which ruled beer should be sold in pints or quarts – which are two pints.

The brewer is ordering about 500,000 new glasses for its Heineken, Amstel and Tiger beer brands and will help plug them in pubs.
