Queens arms hotel

Yes! That's where they used to do the 20 buck chuck back in the late 90's?

I think the queens arms had topless barmaids at zome stage in the 90s also

It had huge $3 beef Parmis in the 80s. Used to go there on a Friday with the olds as a kid.

Heading to Melbourne for a few days next week, and something I always get wrong. What do they call there what we call pints here?

They call them pints also (or 15's)
Their pot = our schooner (10's)
Their glass = our butcher (7's).

I thought they called pints schooners - or is that NSW?

Cheers, buying the correct size beer is the hardest part about travelling around Australia

If our pints and their pints are the same, then theirs are much bigger!

Our pint = NSW schooner
Our imperial pint = NSW pint (20 ounce).

Some places in Melb will also give you a 20 ounce if you ask for a pint.

When I become dictator of this country (after the people's revolution) my first act will be to standardise beer glass sizes across the nation. I won't be using the South Australian nomenclature, either.

Fritz, however, will be known nationwide as fritz. Not bloody devon/stras/german sausage/etc.

You at least have to keep the butcher - the name has history behind it - the name invented at the Newmarket hotel I believe.

I otherwise agree with your polices.

Who the f#$& wants a butcher?

A territory schooner is a SA pint. A handle is a SA schooner.

and the NT stubby is a f****n barrell

Old people still like butchers, other than that they're bloody useless except for Jagerbombs. *edit* and spirits.

Some pubs in QLD still serve ponies (5 ounce).

Used to play a bit of social night lawn bowls and loved the $2 butchers

I'd get sick of going back to the bar after the 40th time.

It would be much better if they sold joints rather than beer.
