Ah yes. The fabled yard of ale. That true progenitor of the perfect party, the art of drinking a yard of ale dates back in time so far that its origins are lost in the murky shrouds of history... maybe.

That aside, this beautifully made, hand-crafted glass yard of ale holds around 3 pints of your favourite fermented foamer, and is guaranteed to ensure the onset of rowdy drunkenness, superior spillage and general all-round raucousness.

You may think that it is facile, simple, downright easy, to neck a litre-and-a-half of liquid, but be prepared for a surprise, and, quite possibly, a lot of splashing. As the yard empties, you tip it further back, increasing the flow of the liquid, resulting in the need for some heavy-duty gulping or a resignation to a soaking!

Want to know more about this unusual glass? Read about the history of the Yard of Ale.

Want to have a go at breaking a world record? The world record for drinking a 3 pint Yard of Ale like this one is 5 seconds, and is held by world champion beer drinker Peter Dowdeswell!

Customer Reviews
"Great once it arrived, but the 1st one was shattered."
Mat Appleton, 4th September '07
Drinkstuff says: Thank you for your comments Mat. Unfortunately, items are occasionally damaged in transit. We endeavour to resend damaged goods when contacted.
"I had a yard glass shipped a while ago to the US. I'm not sure if you remember doing this or not, but I couldn't locate one here, and across the pond was the only place I could find one. I had to speak to someone and I believe it was you, but the yard glass made it, and I've been putting it to good use. I had a carrying case made for it, and a nice stand as well. So, just wanted to thank ya for the trouble and the you tube link is me at a party, showin people how to drink. Thanks again."
