This is good because a) big beer = happy Berni and b) I don't have to get up to go to the bar again, but the downside is that lifting the fûcking thing is properly effort. When drinking beer one shouldn't have to exercise one's bicep this much, surely?
Can you just sort-of tilt it towards you on its fulcrum and pour the beer into your mouth that way?
Yes, but it's an uncomfortable experience, a. I'm thinking of asking for a straw, tbh.Quote:

I go to Oktoberfest every few years so I've had plenty of practice.
