good or bad Ian????LONDON (AFP) - The British pint of beer is famous worldwide but now -- after a hundred years of neglect -- the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is reintroducing the "nip" or third-of-a-pint serving.
Beer will be dished out in nips at the Great British Beer Festival, which starts on Tuesday in London, Iain Loe, research and information manager at CAMRA, told AFP on Thursday.
There are only three ways legally to sell draught beer in Britain -- in pints (0.57 litres), halves and thirds -- but the nip has hardly been used in recent years.
"It went out of fashion in the early 1900s. It's a very sensible way to drink the stronger beers which were popular back then," Loe said.
The pint has become the standard way of serving beer in Britain, with the half pint slightly less popular.
Now CAMRA would like to see pub landlords bring back stemmed glasses with a third-of-a-pint clearly marked.
Its research shows 61 percent of 25- to 34-year-old women thought the smaller measure would help people drink beer in a "more responsible" way.
Loe said: "If you were drinking beer with a meal you could have three different beers and still only drink a pint.
"The third-of-a-pint gives people the chance to sample many different beers."
He is hoping the nip will prove popular at the annual Great British Beer Festival, where around 800 traditionally produced real ales will be on sale.

I go to a few beer festivals and the amount of dickheads that throw strong beer down there necks in the first hour are ******* hilarious. Seing them throwing up all over the place because they have had 4 pints and can`t handle it. Smaller measures for these weekend ale warriors is good news.
