Not all of us require a decent head. It’s a myth that only Yorkshire can brew good beer.Northern British drinkers demand a decent head, the only limitation is getting full measure. That's not a problem when it is your own beer and you don't have to pay full price for the head.
But a fact they brew among the best.It’s a myth that only Yorkshire can brew good beer.
But so do all regions of the UK.But a fact they brew among the best.
Change your name to Eric the TykeIf it ain't from Yorkshire it's shite.
Like @Brewskey , relegated to 12 oz. pours for now though I plan on using 22 oz. "bombers" for the long-aged 1848 RIS and vintage IPA I'm doing coming up. As lame as it is....just can't bring myself to pour an English bitter in a standard, insipid, straight-walled 12 oz. glass.Northern British drinkers demand a decent head, the only limitation is getting full measure.

Nice, man! Doubly so, using your own landrace hops!Heres my current bitter on tap. I might have mentioned in this thread I've started to grow some hops, and this is a beer brewed using homegrown hops for late boil and dry hops.
All 3 plants are old, domestic heritage/landrace varieties.
The one used in this one is called "Gamla Källmon"(most names are given after the place they are found). Gives a prominent , spicy, herbal/grassy aroma/flavour, reminiscent of Japanese green tea.
On it's own it's a bit too strong, but is probably very nice in a 50/50 mix with Goldings.

Sadly, no.Are the “pint” glasses in the US the same size as in the UK? Ours are 20 fluid oz (568 ml).
That 568ml is to the pint line marked on the glass. In Yorkshire, and some other places, you’ll find oversized pint glasses, leaving enough room for a head plus the beer you paid for. Why most Southerners and others don’t appreciate good head, presumably.Are the “pint” glasses in the US the same size as in the UK? Ours are 20 fluid oz (568 ml).
Still Yorkshire yeast, though.You don't need a good head on a pint of Harveys Sussex.
Just finished watching Ted Lasso for the first time. And yes, I noticed. Richmond, SW London.That 568ml is to the pint line marked on the glass.

I’m about as Southerner as you can get, but I do like good head.Who are the Southerners?
Harald Hardrada tried to become a tyke, didn't work out so well for him. My dad once had a job that involved going to the farm where the Battle of Stamford Bridge took place, there's still a hillock which is meant to be where the Vikings ended up....Change your name to Eric the Tyke
But US floz are slightly different to British floz, which is why you get all those weird 19.2 US floz cans in US supermarkets, they're actually imperial pint cans from Britain (and funnily are far more common in the US than UK)16oz is a standard US pint
So you buy your beer in 568mls then....Strange how the US had a dollar worth 100 cents early in its history ( the UK went monetary metric as late as 1971) but stuck with Imperial UOM. I was brought up on £sd, miles, furlongs, chains, hundredweight, stones, pounds and ozs. Yards, feet, and inches. In Engineering we had thou’s , tenths, BTU’s. But most of this confusion was swept away thank heavens. I still think distance in miles but for the rest good old metric.
No half litresSo you buy your beer in 568mls then....
There’s no popular opinion to return to Imperial measurement, I’m 71 years old and work in metric as do most people of my generation. It’s people like Rees Mogg who wants to return to Imperial’s and be able to beat your servants.It could be conveniently rounded down to a simple 0.5L, but expect unprecedented rioting by disciples of a 'reformed' Brexit party surfing a fake wave of English colonialist 'values'. Even if the price were adjusted down more than fair. Even if the first 0.25L of each 0.5L was free for the first year as a special introductory offer during a transition period to metric. They'd still be goaded and out in the streets with pitchforks. I was mainly taught metric at school (in the UK) in the late 70s to early 80s. Imperial was only taught in maths classes and used for basic problem-solving exercises. I can understand clinging on to imperial measures in daily life for older people more used to managing things in imperial, but, honestly, what happened? Did that ridiculous clown Johnson actually ban metric? Strange times.
The modern world is, only USA and two others aren't.Kg, g, mg.
L, ml.
And the world would be much easier.
It wouldn't be convenient - you'd need to change every pint glass in the country, for a start - for no real gain.It could be conveniently rounded down to a simple 0.5L,
Same would apply if you tried to make the US go metric, would you describe that as colonialist?but expect unprecedented rioting by disciples of a 'reformed' Brexit party surfing a fake wave of English colonialist 'values'.
No - but metric measures have long been banned, draught beer must legally be served in multiples of a third or a half imperial pint. The regulations have been tweaked by just about every government, but if you want to you could go back through the various Weights and Measures Acts to the Duties on Beer, etc. Act 1802. It was even explicitly written into a European directive by the colonialists in Brussels.Did that ridiculous clown Johnson actually ban metric?
They’re only glasses. They could be smashed up and down the land, as a national event to mark a transition to metric, then recycled in France to make new 0.5L glasses. They can still be called ‘pints’*. Not as much hassle as changing to driving on the ‘right’ side of the road.It wouldn't be convenient - you'd need to change every pint glass in the country, for a start - for no real gain.
Yes, absolutely, I would. In fact, I suspect it might be even a bit worse in the US. English colonialism, that is.Same would apply if you tried to make the US go metric, would you describe that as colonialist?

Imperialism. Do you know that a ‘royal pint’ is 54 French cubic inches?Which unholy beast did I unleash?!
