Glass Or Handle Sir?

Pubco M&B is running a trail in three Leeds pubs to see whether there is any demand for the old dimple pint mug. Once we had given up the drinking horn, we passed through leather, earthenware and pewter to heavy glass tumblers. The ten-sided handled flute appeared after the Great War and the dimple after the Second. The Nonik of the 1960s sounded the death knell for the mug. The dimple might be more difficult to "logoise" but there is an argument that it stops your hand getting cold and stops your hand warming up the beer. The Victoria pub reckons that three out of four drinkers choose a mug in the evenings while it is only one in three at lunchtime.
