Mission Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Having a slightly different experience than Sterling; While at home on the Isle of Lewis our local does have some pint "jars" available virtually everyone old enough to frequent the Pub (Three Black Gulls) has their own pewter or glass/ceramic tankard hanging on a peg inside the bar and the barman is clever enough to grab yours and have the pump in hand by the time you cross from the door to the bar. Mine is still there with a bit of dust since I don't get home too often, but last time I went I had to wait to have it rinsed out and had to tell the 23 year old barmaid who I was so she knew where to reach for it. My Stout was served in m' own mug passed on to me by my Great grandfather.While at most events I try to keep my mug full of water at all times during the day, once the touristas leave, the contents will change to a more "enlightened beverage" That's sooo cool.

But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is it I avoided the gentleman at the gate when i was certainly consuming more than innocent water?

Mission Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah, it was you and me who got busted. ok, how is it that you 2 got busted for lemonade? And how is it I avoided the gentleman at the gate when i was certainly consuming more than innocent water? We didn't get busted for lemonade, we got asked not to hold non-PC plastic cups while we were standing guard on the dock. There was lemonade in the cups from one of the local vendors. So we complied and scrounged up our mugs. You'll have to ask Michael about being asked to dump water out of his mug when leaving the camp area (from his post, I gather he was leaving the roped off wee small campsite.) But that never happened to me - I just got scolded. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

CaptainSatan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I personally detest the Rennie fashion of hanging as much crap from your belt as possible. But I am fond of carrying my beer mug on a hand forged belt hook.On those rare occasions that it's empty that is. Authenticity Police be damned! I have never been able to document a belt hook. So I don't know if they are an invention of modern blacksmiths or an earlier item. I need to buy some more of these handy items. Anyone happen to know a smith that makes them?

michaelsbagley Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was flipping through my book with reprints of all of the 1687 Laroon's "Cries of London" images... While I was looking for something else, I stopped on this image, and paused.... and though I would do some topic necromancy and bring this up. I thought it had been posted elsewhere, but my Pyracy-Pub-Search-Fu seems to be weak today.Before posting the image, I do want to say, this seems to be a rarity, and not a common thing, but this does appear to be a gent with a mug strap on his belt.

So you can wear a hanging tankard, but only if you strap a barrel to your back from which to fill it. Actually, given that he's an ink salesman, I suspect that tankard may be for measuring the quantity of ink dispensed to the customers. (Which is still sort of cool.) I am more curious about what he has stuffed in his shoes, though. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

William Brand Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 It's most definitely for measuring. Something like a gill cup, but for ink. That's a fantastic find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
