Schooner (glass)

A schooner is a type of glass or a fluid measure for serving alcoholic drinks, which varies by country.

In all Australian states other than South Australia, a "schooner" is a 425 ml (15 imp fl oz), or three-quarters of an imperial pint.

[citation needed] It should not be confused with Schooner Lager, which is a regional brand of beer found only in the eastern maritime provinces of Canada.

[citation needed] Since 2011, beer and cider have been permitted to be sold in 2⁄3 imperial pint (379 ml) glasses known by drinkers as "schooners", though these are not defined as such in UK legislation.

[4] In most places in the United States, "schooner" refers to the shape of the glass (rounded with a short stem), rather than the capacity.
