Ok I've tried to get over this but 3 days later it still irks me.
What the hell is going on in the bar at the club - standards have dropped through the floor!
To paint the picture for you (and you might want to sit down with a nice cup of tea for this) I was served my Kronenberg larger in a, almost can't say it, glass designed for a different brand!
I could not enjoy my pint know this breach of trademark had just been committed. I had to drink this pint quietly seething!
Yes it still looked the same and I will agree it even tasted the same - but I've not slept since this horrific incident.
The match passed me by in a haze whilst I considered the wider implications of this disaster. What if this had happened to someone else? Someone less precious than myself? The mere thought of this sends shivers down my spine.
This could have been a kid for f**ks sake, maybe his first pint!!! Ruined on the whim of a barmaid. What then? 'Beer doesn't do it for me, I'd best move on to Crack!'
All for the sake of a different glass, you've ruined a life. I was a nervous wreck at work for the past few days - no doubt there will be a performance meeting when I come back from holiday (which will be ruined because of the worry) and I'll be sacked!
I won't be able to afford the rent, my family will become homeless! We’ll all be living on the street regretting that barmaid’s laziness for not getting the right glass.
Or I suppose I could just get over it……………

Get over it man! It was only lager for gawd's sake, a horrible foreign invention designed to destabilise the men of Britain. It's not as if it was proper English ale. Remember Agincourt!

I wish the bar would sell Weston's.

Why not bring your own in a can that says Kronenbourg on the side, I think they let you drink on the terraces, don't they?

fox, I have shared a similar dilemma quite recently that left me seething for days. I was in a London watering hole that I now cannot bring myself to mention, and I ordered my favourite tipple, a pint of Stella Artois. Imagine my disappointment when it was served to me in what can only be described as a effeminate drinking vessel. I described my displeasure to the sympathetic barmaid, and I could only agree with her when she commented that despite its appearance the glass still held a full 20oz pint, and featured the classic embossed Stella Artois logo (which always reads "Steel Tortoise" to me when I've had one too many), and that it wouldn't alter the flavour and texture of the beer. Even though I couldn't argue with her logic, I asked her to pour my drink into a more appropriate container akin to my masculinity (bring back the old proper mans beer mugs with thick handles). She refused, saying that it was a corporate thing, and if her boss found out she would get the sack. So there I was, sat in the snug nervously sipping from a dainty stemmed chalice, having visions of myself turning from a normal hetrosexual male into one that suddenly gets the urge to dress up in womens clothes as a result of a landlords whim to satisfy his brand suppliers. I could see it now, my wife would abandon me, my kids would renounce me, and I would be left as a lonely transvestite in a shabby old bedsit. Oh well, I suppose I could just start drinking Fosters.

It's a new initiative to bring out the feminine side of those who imbibe the loony soup known as "Wife Beater".
Either that or so everyone else gets to laugh at you for drinking beer from a bird's glass.

It's the same shape glass you tend to get on the continent. I hope you had your little finger sticking out while you supped.
