Kekel  +  342275 Thu, 22 Mar 07 10:55 PM Someone asked me that, I looked up on my dictionary but I'd like to confirm with you. We can say a bottle of beer,        a glass of beer,          a can of beer but there is not a glass called "tulip" in the English language (there is in because in my country). So a tulip of beer is completely wrong. Am I right??

	Clive  +  342317 Fri, 23 Mar 07 01:35 AM Hi guys, A stemmed glass, obviously tulip-shaped, wherein the top of the glass pushes out a bit to form a lip in order to capture the head and the body is bulbous http://beeradvocate.com/beer/101/glassware.php The above site includes this info, plus an illustration. GG, you obviously need to associate with a better class of beer drinker. Do you know this joke? An American goes into a pub in London, England. American: Bring me an American beer. Bartender: Sorry, sir, we don't have any. American: OK, bring me the nearest thing you have to American beer. The barman brings him a glass of water.

	Grammar Geek  +  342318 Fri, 23 Mar 07 01:45 AM LOL - If they are thinking about Miller or Bud, I would agree. But at least we serve it COLD! I'm a bit of a beer snob, so I tend to like the beer from microbreweries. Please don't be disappointed in me, but I tend to drink it from the bottle. But regardless of the shape of the glass, would you still call it "a tulip of beer"? Grammar Geek

	Kekel  +  342336 Fri, 23 Mar 07 03:59 AM But would this sentece be accepted in a regular basis?? In which places would somebody order a "tulip" of beer?? Kekel

	Clive  +  342352 Fri, 23 Mar 07 05:10 AM Hi, But would this sentece be accepted in a regular basis?? No, definitely not. In which places would somebody order a "tulip" of beer?? Nowhere, really. Best wishes, Clive. Clive

	Kekel  +  342543 Fri, 23 Mar 07 04:04 PM Just to sum up, so there is a glass called tulip, but no way we can order a "tulip of beer". Thank you very much. Kekel

	Lil' Ruby Rose  +  342546 Fri, 23 Mar 07 04:12 PM In a pub in the UK, you'd still ask for a pint (or a half) of beer if you wanted bitter, or a pint of lager if you want what Americans call beer.  Lager is served cold, often iced.  Traditionally bitter is served at cellar temperature, but not iced - despite long-standing American jibes it is definitely not served warm. The distinction is beginning to blur a bit with cans of beer and bottles of beer (which can be lager or bitter).
