A schooner at Eastlakes is 425ml so they do exist.

I always ordered Imperial pints if so inclined to have a larger beverage.

Nowadays I prefer my drinks to be at least of legal age, single, and around 30ml

When it comes to abs I have something much better than a six pack, I have a beer barrel.

And down south, in my youth we only had pots. (middy in some states) Schooners didn't exist.

We get em all now. Beer is proof that there is a god and he loves us.

The whole of WA drink pints pretty much exclusively.[bigsmile]
They do have a smaller ladies size glass available......

I always thought that it was bacon that was proof....
But beer works too!
Although VB's existence would suggest he/she has questionable tastes [emoji38]
