I drink at places with good beer, and I really don't want to get drunk so I don't mind glasses of different sizes.<br /><br />I go to Shallo's because they have a great selection of draft beer. Sure, it's 14oz shaker glasses but some of the beers would be served in 8 or 10oz glasses at other establishments. Plus I can try a variety of beers that I can't necessarily get other places.<br /><br />I fully understand "the principle of the thing," but personally I don't get bent out of shape for that reason very often. When they say "pints" they're talking about shaker glasses, which people commonly refer to as pint glasses (they're thinking it's a beer glass, not a 16oz glass). It's just a perception thing and it's easier to call the glasses something people will recognize. I really don't think there is a vast conspiracy to take over the world 2oz at a time at Shallo's.rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280976642258884193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-68017841026039951572011-09-09T13:23:11.246-04:002011-09-09T13:23:11.246-04:00My issue simply needs to be full and fair disclosu...My issue simply needs to be full and fair disclosure with a place. If they use 14 oz glasses, go right ahead and use 14 oz glasses, but don't call it a pint on your menu, your staff can't call it a pint, and my receipt can't say pint either. <br /><br />Give the consumer the information and let them make up their own minds.<br /><br />I go to Shallo's though still because of the bartender Doug. He is good people, and I will continue to frequent Shallo's just because he is working there.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913054347911490028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-86941001484994042602011-09-09T13:20:26.539-04:002011-09-09T13:20:26.539-04:00It was my use of the word pint, not Shallo's -...It was my use of the word pint, not Shallo's - in fact, our very own Matt had a similar concern about Shallo's prices and brought up that Shallo's receipts said "pint" - if you check that receipt now, there's no use of the word.<br /><br />Would you have preferred I said glass? To me it's just semantics, but perhaps I failed to understand the importance of the issue to some readers.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047590428827738771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-81483233625534012762011-09-09T12:09:43.813-04:002011-09-09T12:09:43.813-04:00It only upsets me to the point where I leave Anon ...It only upsets me to the point where I leave Anon comments on blog postings recommending them for a 'pint'.
