yard of ale
Long glass challenge
A yard of ale is a tall, slender drinking glass approximately three feet long, typically holding two to three pints.
The glass flares into a bulb at the bottom, making it tricky to drink—tipping releases a rush of ale as air enters the bulb.
Drinking yards of ale is a traditional challenge at British pubs and ceremonies: He downed a yard of ale in under a minute.
