Description
This clear pint beer glass carries a printed panel in the style of a wartime Civil Defence poster, with a crown at the top and the words "Drink for Victory" in bold cream capitals. Beneath them, in a looser hand, runs the line "This beer won't drink itself", and a small arrow sits above the words Civil Defence at the foot of the panel. The panel is a deep maroon brown with a mottled, aged look that gives the glass its old notice feel, while the rest stays clear so you can see the beer inside. The glass has a shiny finish and a classic tapered shape, wider at the rim than at the base, and it stands 16.4cm tall, 8.9cm wide and 9cm deep.
It is a fun glass for the home bar, a kitchen shelf or the table at a Sunday roast, and it makes a cheerful Father's Day gift for dads who like a pint with a bit of wartime humour. The joke lands well with anyone who enjoys history, old posters or a dry British sense of fun, and it gives you a ready talking point when friends come round. Pour in a favourite ale, lager or cider and the maroon panel stands out against the drink behind it.
Made from glass with a shiny finish, it has the printed panel on one side and clear glass all the way round, so you can turn the slogan towards yourself or your guests. As with any printed glassware, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth to keep the print looking its best. For a Father's Day gift, set it beside a bottle of his favourite beer and a card, and he has everything he needs to raise a glass on the day.
