Pubs to sell beer by the schooner

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.

Our Top Picks of Pubs to Watch the Tennis from

Murray Vs Nadal… what better excuse to head down to your local to cheer on the tennis in the sun! Here are our top 5 pubs to enjoy the tennis in.

Number 5: The Northcote, Clapham.

A lovely pub in Clapham, offering a great food menu and a wide selection of drinks. Leave your office early and head down in time to get a round in before the match begins. We recommend trying one of their imaginatively named beers such as Dog Fish Head or Timmermans Strawberry.

 

Number 4: The Famous 3 Kings, Fulham.     

The largest sports pub in London, you can support Britain from one of the three big screens, eleven plasmas or two TVs! We recommend a bottle of Heineken to quench your thirst.

 

 

Number 3: Durell Arms, Fulham.

Watch the drama unfold from this stylish pub in the heart of Fulham. With a large menu of food and drink this is the perfect setting for a long day of tennis-watching. We recommend a pitcher of Bulmers cider from the tap to enjoy with your friends.

 

 

Number 2: The Hand-in-Hand, Wimbledon Common.

With a charming beer garden to enjoy the sun and a vibrant atmosphere, the Hand-in-Hand pub is the perfect spot to enjoy the match. We recommend a pint of Sambrooks Wandle Ale to compliment the *fingers crossed* victory for Murray.

 

 

Number 1: The Common Room, Wimbledon Village.

In the heart of Wimbledon Village, the Common Room hosts large plasma TVs to enjoy the tennis from, and if the sun’s shining take your pint outside to the beer garden during the breaks! We recommend a glass (or jug) of Pimms to aid your cheering!
