    Having a BBQ - don't have a lot of beer glasses - is it ok to have disposable beer glasses at a BBQ?

    And of so where might one get some easily? Does tesco have them?

    Of course it is. Saves you cleaning up too. I regularly use them for gatherings. Deals or Mr Price would be your best bet for price but a lot of shops and supermarkets do them, especially round summer.
    Get some paper plates too while you're there.
    Enjoy!

    Give them the bottles or cans.Unless it's a posh BBQ?

    Disposable beer glasses is what the lower class use and are not acceptable at a BBQ. Surely you have champange glasses you could use?

    Give them a bottle or can. If they aren't happy with that, give them a tissue to wipe the edges with

    Only time they could possibly be 'not okay' would be if your friends/guest are stuck pretty far up their own h**e that your hospitality isn't good enough.

    Nonetheless, enjoy the weather and BBQ :):D

    Is it a rough crowd?
    Are they likely to throw glasses at each other?

    Genuinely not trying to be smart but what would be not ok about it?

    Would you drink milk out of a cow's udder? The clue is in the name 'glass'

    As said, Dealz and/or Mr Price have those red cups that you always see in American films


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    I'd rather the can or bottle than a cheap plastic glass that you can't grip without it spilling over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    You can pick up glasses fairly cheap in Homestore and More, possibly even Dealz. Be very careful about using disposable pint containers, you might attract riff-raff.

    Bit easier to hold a can or bottle than a cow.

    Of course OP isn't supplying the beer, in that case it would be a BBBQ.

    The extra B is for BYOBB.

    shouldn't that be BYOB?


    There will be home brew but everyone is invited to bring what ever they would like to drink too..

    In that case then, just give them a few mugs to put under the tap. Works out better, you can hold them by the handle and don't have to worry about the condensation forming on the glass, making it slippy and also getting a wet hand which just leaves you making your burger buns all soggy. No one likes soggy buns.

    I won't drink anything that isn't in a Tennent's glass.

    Or isn't Tennent's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I wouldn't give a shít OP, I'd drink it out of a sweaty sock tbh!

    A day like today, I'd have drank my gargle from a sweaty **** sock. Disposable beer glass would be least of me worries.
