What is a "schooner"?
A schooner is a type of large beer glass characterized by its distinctive shape, resembling a cross between a goblet and a pint glass. It typically features a wide, curved bowl with a short stem and a flared lip, giving it a unique and elegant appearance. Schooners are commonly used for serving draft beer, particularly lagers, ales, and other light-bodied beers. They are often associated with Australian pubs and bars, where they are used as a standard vessel for serving beer. Schooners come in various sizes, with capacities ranging from around 15 to 32 fluid ounces, depending on regional preferences and regulations.
