I love german beer. I have a load of paper-thin 200ml Kolsch glasses here from an old German friend from Cologne who used to live in a bar there. He brought them over along with a barrel of the good stuff last time he was here. 200ml is the standard size there, two to three mouthfuls typically then I'l need a refill which keeps the bar staff busy particularly when it's always table service and you pay your bill on leaving. They circulate constantly with a tray of fresh ones and keep bringing replacements and marking your beermat till you signal "enough" by putting the beermat on top of your glass. If you don't know that you can get accidentally pissed pretty quick as they relentlessly replace your beer. Fun times.
He tells me that really valued customers get the ultimate honour of the 100ml glass which ensures that every other mouthful is the first from a freshly poured new glass.
genius.
