A few weeks back I attended the Welland Steam Fare and wandered into the Craft tent.
My wife drew my attention to the woodeden tankards on sale.
I was not particularly interested, but after talking to this gent and handling the tankards I became warm to the the thought of owning one.
He is a retired skilled man who obtains scrap wood fom the merchants and craft them into a range of products using food safe varnishes and adhesive
My wife purchased one for my birthday.
It is truely a thing of beauty and a great pleasure to hold and drink from, only 275 grms in weight has a great lip to the tankard.
I chose the Walnut version with Brass Hoops.
One important benefit he nevered told me was that being wood, unlike glass/ceramics that quickly adapts to the ambient temperature, the beer holds it's temperature longer
Go to http://www.provenancecoopering.co.uk for a list of tankards available.
My wife paid about £25.00
Happy supping

Re: Coopered Wooden Tankards
That's my mind made up then! I was tossing up between Walnut, Oak or Cherry and Ash. As each of you two has one of the others, I'll get me a Cherry and Ash one!
In fact, f**k it! What else am I waiting for? I'm getting my plastic out right now!
Cheers, all

Re: Coopered Wooden Tankards
Ideal for my occasionally cloudy beer.
Would make me feel like a Viking drinking out of one off them.

well recomended
