A few months ago I posted about the names for beer glasses and noted that Australia has some of the most complex set of descriptors which change on a state by state basis. The other day I found this handy chart which explains it all so we that I thought I would entirely igonre any copyright interest in it and share it with you.
Click on it for a large version that should explain itself. You may want to click on the original larger version for a supersized one depending on your browser. Why go for a middy when you can have a schooner, mate.

In Victoria back when, the old fellers presumably trying to cut back in their relative consumption, would drink out of smaller 5oz glasses. These were called "ponies" - after small horses I guess. Why does this work? In each shout they would drink somewhat less than the other blokes who were drinking 7oz glasses or 10oz pots.
