Beer Glass Sizes - Victoria Beer Glass Sizes - Victoria

Something that confuses visitors to Melbourne is "what size glass to order a beer" ...

Does one ask for a Small Glass, Glass, Schooner, Seven, Handle, Pony, Pot, Pint, Middy or Jug? Thankfully its not Queensland, where you could also throw in a Five, Seven or a Ten size glass.

Every state has their own ritual of how to correctly order the right size of beer, and that it constantly changes.
