    Talking of Oktoberfest and whatnot, I'm enjoying a litre stein at the airport

    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.

    I dislike it as well b. Particularly on a hot summer's day when it gets warm by the time you get to the bottom. A pint is definitely the right amount for a decent drink. Which beer have you got?

    Also, the glass is too thick.

    They seem such a good idea at the time, though, don't they?

    Yep - sometimes they are just right, most of the time they are just a hassle

    I remember when we visited, the glw tried 1 stein and gave it to me half way through as she got fed up trying to lift it.

    Slip hand through handle with thumb over the top, lift stein and drink...simples!

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