Fosters glass and wine glass instead of a Stella glass or champagne glass is just silly.
It won't taste any different.
Plastic will make a difference but if you don't have a choice then he needs to stopp being a whinger.
Not exactly fun when you go out drinking and your friend won't drink for some silly reason and is constantly moaning. Was it a good night, did he put a downer on it? Hate people that ruin my "good vibez" on a night out.
I would just be like "well it's that or nothing so shut up or **** off".
Like to think he would get the picture after doing it a few times.

Our local here by the office doesn't have glasses for all the beers they have on tap. Leading to them apologising and asking if it's OK if it't in a stella glass instead or something.
Never really understood it, it's still the same beer.

yea was a good night watching the Haymaker as a one-off 'thing I haven't done before'.
TBH boxing ain't that good a sport live in fact it's pretty awful. It feels like the super heavy weights are punching in slow motion as they are so huge, and then suddenly one falls over, you're not really sure why, the ref calls it and you all go home 8.5 minutes after they started swinging ... :/

I'm not a fan of bottled beer in general. I'd much rather drink it out of a pint glass. The thin neck fizzes the beer up.
They serve those plastic bottles at a lot of football grounds. The beer inside always tastes ropey.
1) Retarded, its a beer glass.
2) Not exactly retarded, it's his choice not to drink from plastic. I've had them in clubs, and I prefer a glass bottle but it's reasonable and I understand why it's done. I wouldn't complain about it, that is retarded.
3) Retarded. Round a mates house, may not have or does not want the lads to destroy the flutes. If I was in an establishment however, I would expect flutes and be fairly disappointed if it came otherwise.

I think I would have taken the glass from him then given him the dog's bowl full of water.
Stella glasses are specialled designed for stella beer. I dont know if it actually makes any difference (ask in the "free stella glass" thread? 
)
Plastic bottles can make beer warm up much quicker than glass bottles.
Wine glasses can make champagne go flat much quicker.
i can see his reasons, but none of the above would bother me enough to complain about it or not drink at all.

First question fair enough. Its silly but they have different glasses in pubs for a reason if they werent meant to be used it would all be standard pint glasses.
2 + 3 what a plonker.

Seems extremely odd to me.
Pretty much all Lager glasses have small cavities etched in the base to act as nucleation points and help bubbles to form.
I'm guessing having "Fosters" printed on his glass damaged his fragile ego.
I had a friend who always asked for "Carling in a Stella glass" for the same reason.
I think it is more fashion than physics. The narrower flutes slow the rate of going flat but I'm not sure if it makes any difference for the rate most people drink at.I thought champagne glasses were shaped as such to ensure consistent bubbling and flavour
Through to the 60's the Champagne Coupe was the height of fashion:
Plastic bottle wise I think your friend is just picky for the sake of it. He drinks Stella ffs. Drink it for him then falken punch his nipples with your Stella fuelled rage!
the glasses are purely promotional for this type of crappy lager
the same beer comes in cans and bottles..it makes no difference to the beer what its served it
certain glasses do now actually come with nucleation pads on the base of the glass (fosters is one) to ensure a constant head, but it makes no difference to the taste
as long as the glass is properly cleaned thats all it needs, the shape of the glass makes no odds
what kind of arena was this? none of the big ones in the UK serve anything in glass, and I thought boxing was usually no drinks in the bowl.
They're there to promote the alcohol that's sold
I'd imagine they come at considerable discount or maybe even free from the suppliers compared to normal glasses.
