REQ: Pint of ale

REQ: Pint of ale

alt.ascii-art · 7 messages · 8 Feb 1999 - 11 Feb 1999
Does anyone have ASCII of a pint of ale or lager?  Preferably one with a nice,
foamy head?  Preferably a British-style pint glass, not a stein with a handle? 
(No offense against the 'steins!  :^) )

Thanks,
C.

Now what possible use could anyone git outta ascee picher of a mug o' beer.
An' I allus want the cloud cut off'n mine, anyway. Take my advice - git down
to the local pub, and git yourse'f a real mug of beer.

I just fancied having a go at this. Here's my attempt:

         _.._..,_,_
	(          )
         ]~,"-.-~~[
       .=])' (;  ([
       | ]:: '    [
       '=]): .)  ([
         |:: '    |
          ~~----~~

I know it looks a bit 'flat' (the pic, not the beer!) but I couldn't do 
much to it with regard to shading.

See ya - GPF.

Thanks for the help so far, y'all! :^) And thanx for the good advice, JRO!

The reason I asked for a Brit-style pint is 'cause I'm a member of a newsgroup
where we discuss a British TV show where the characters are always getting a
pint at the local pub. Sometimes I buy the rest of the newsgroup a virtual
"round," but it'd be so great if I could just send them some nice ASCII pints
of Theakston's or Bass or 6X or something.

When I think of the stein w/the handle, I think of Germany. Not that I don't
love German beer (mmmm.... German beer....) but it's kinda a Brit-oriented
newsgroup. The British pint glass I remember has no handle and has a slight
v-shape with a wave near the top designed to allow the glasses to be stacked so
they don't stick to each other. If I wasn't so damn untalented myself I'd draw
you all a primitive ASCII to show you.

Thanx agin,
C.

This is old (and therefore not v. good) but ti's a start. :-)

Well, I'd drink the Harp or Guiness, myself.  In truth, though, I've
found Australian Stout to be far superior, and cheaper. But, really
now -- anybody wasting money one beer, when you can get
Everclear, just isn't thinking right.

I ain't got no "pint" pichers, but I have seen a lot of them around
in the past.  If you keep checking some of these folks askee sites,
or keep begging, some will show up....
