Conflicted on these cups at Wolverhampton Halls, love the idea but not sure if it’s redundant. Will update…

  1. They are great if you are carrying multiple of them, you often see them at German events 

  2. The handle is to help you stack a bunch of them. Pretty redundant if you’re not buying a few at once but the person cleaning probably thinks they’re amazing :p

    Also – am from Wolvo and have been intrigued about Halls – Hows the venue now? Worth the big ticket?

  3. looks like it’d be easier for me to carry whilst using my crutches.

    could also help people with limited grip strength.

  4. They use these cups at the William Webb Ellis Weatherspoons in Twickenham on game days, they’re great for buying rounds as the handle allows you to stack your pints to carry them with minimal spillage

  5. You use the pointy bit to stack multiple, then grab the bottom one’s pointy bit to pick up a stack of 3/4 in each hand. Went watching ice hockey with a large group and I managed 7 pints in one trip on my own without having to take a tray back.

  6. Use these at the Hammersmith Apollo I work at. We charge £1 for them on top of the drink, and no you don’t get that money back if you return them…

  7. It’s just a tessellated version of a sidecar…if you put aftershock or apple sourz in the handle.

  8. Just read all the comments and there was me thinking it was so you could hang it on the back of the seat in front of you.

  9. For anyone unsure, it’s supposed to be a handle, it’s hollow so they stack properly. It’s a very cool idea but as the handle is quite narrow you hand does cramp after a few minutes so just easier to hold like a normal glass, or with your hand between the cup and the handle, like you would sometimes with a mug if your hands were cold

  10. I’ve seen 10 pints stacked on rotation with this handle carried by a single person – without spillage. An engineering masterpiece!

  11. I nabbed a couple of those from the Hammersmith Apollo (they ushered us straight out of the door at the end and not past the bar).

    They’re pretty good for hot drinks as well…

    P.s. you can put a spoon or other utensil in the handle as needed…

  12. Btw if you get a plastic pint please for the love of god do not complain. The person serving you has no control over what your pint goes into and we have already faced a hundred other people giving us the same moans, grunts and questions as to why they can’t have a pint in a glass.

  13. i’ve got a few of these from when they had the baseball in London a few years ago, they’re incredibly useful, i saw people carrying 6 of them at once and not spilling a drop
