Synopsis
Pub mugs form an interesting aspect of Britain s social history. They were not just drinking vessels, but also measures, and as such the subject of much regulation, because drinkers wanted to be sure of receiving what they had paid for. The pint itself has a chequered history and is an anomaly alongside today s metric system. The question of a fair pint has never been resolved: should it include the head or not? Many people have a sentimental attachment to a favourite mug or glass and have perhaps collected a few. Drawing from a wide range of sources, the author has brought together all these strands to give the first ever overview of 350 years of beer mug history. This book is believed to be the first to treat the subject of pub beer mugs and glasses as a whole.
