Yard Of Ale Glass
Roll up, roll up, for the trickiest and most outrageous of all the classic drinking games: The Yard Ale Glass. Guaranteed to leave you either covered in beer or very wobbly on your feet, the Yard Ale Glass can hold some pints! The Yard Ale Glass has its own place in drinking history - its first use recorded in 1683, when this "glasse of a yard long" was first utilised to toast the health of King James II. And if you’re not that into all the Ye Olde stuff, set yourself the challenge of downing it in one - a lot harder than its seems, because once you’ve started it tipping its hard to stop!
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a pro, you might like to know that the record for drinking a yard of ale was last broken in 1975 by a Don Rossio of Northamptonshire, who polished it off in 5 seconds. If you’re an ale obsessive who thinks you can do better, then invite your friends around and challenge them to the Yard of Ale! May the best (wo)man win - and may he or she be very merry indeed! [Please drink sensibly.]
