This is a bit off topic, yet seems like the place to ask:
I was looking at a menu of a restaurant I was considering taking SWMBO to this past weekend. They have their own brewery there, plus serve several local brews. On the menu, though, your beer options for $4 for a pint and $6 for a pilsner. Anybody got any clue about this? I was looking on-line so couldn't ask the wait staff. Do they think pilsner is another word for "big glass"?
A Pilsener is a type of glass, in addition to a type of beer:

It's still a bit confusing, though, because Pilsener more implies a shape than a size. But if that's how they do things, that's how they do it, I guess... It's not completely crazy, just a little bit of a confusing way of listing it.
Edit: Also, I was going to say that IME pilsener glasses are usually smaller than pint glasses, but I thought maybe I was misremembering and decided to keep my mouth shut. But Wikipedia seems to agree with me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_glassware#Pilsner_glass So that's doubly confusing...
