Mayfair&Jackson's Pilsener glasses: fine-edged beer glasses with 416ml
capacity. I cannot recommend them highly enough for top value - if you are
willing to spend a little, that is.

I've seen them in most of the sort-of bargain department stores (Harris
Scarfe in Adelaide, Allens in NSW/ACT, don't know what the equivalents are
elsewhere).

RRP seems to be $24.95 for a set of six, but they're often on some sort of
special. I've never paid more than $22 for them and got my last couple of
boxes for $14.95 at Allens.

I know you can't buy them in person, but you can get someone to get these
sight unseen and you will be happy with them, I'm sure.

Cheers,
Richard F.

Guess that would be one approach, give up on the Washington
style and go for the less desirable for me Pilseners instead.

Yeah, the price is only a minor consideration, dont break that many.

Interesting. Dont get any hits in google with
<Mayfair Jackson Pilsener> or <Mayfair&Jackson Pilsener>
But Tom's url is exactly what I need.

Yeah, I can do that, get someone to show up in
person and just check that they are thin rimmed.

No need for that with your recommendation
tho, thanks for that, I'll get some.

Rod,

It's so great to have you back again. We have missed you so much!!

Was it something we said that drove you away?

Just curious Rod - what styles do you brew? Given that you do not seem a
slapdash sort of character, I'm wondering whether you go for the more
difficult styles?

I think I need to get some beer glasses with lids on them! Sitting on the
back deck last evening, I had to throw out 2 half drunk 375 ml glasses
because of kamikaze blow flies! Geez I hate that! I go to a lot of bother to
make a decent brew!

The humble beer coaster can be used on either end of the glass :-)

My local bowling club sells schooner holders with a lid. So when you're
bowling at the other end of the green, you can pop the lid on and be safe in
the knowledge no flies will land in your beer.
