0 Someone asked me that, I looked up on my dictionary but I'd like to confirm with you. We can say 02br
02br
01font00a bottle of beer, a glass of beer, a can of beer 02font02br
02br
00but there is not a glass called "tulip" in the English language (there is in because in my country). So 02br
02br
01font00a 01b00tulip 02b00of beer 02font02br
02br
00is completely wrong. Am I right??0-

0LOL - If they are thinking about Miller or Bud, I would agree. But at least we serve it COLD!02br

00I'm a bit of a beer snob, so I tend to like the beer from microbreweries. Please don't be disappointed in me, but I tend to drink it from the bottle.02br

00But regardless of the shape of the glass, would you still call it "a tulip of beer"? 0-

0In a pub in the UK, you'd still ask for a pint (or a half) of 01i00beer02i00 if you wanted bitter, or a pint of 01i00lager02i00if you want what Americans call beer. Lager is served cold, often iced. Traditionally bitter is served at cellar temperature, but not iced - despite long-standing American jibes it is definitely not served warm. 05002
