A KIWI AT AN AUSSIE BAR | Australian Beer Sizes

- “A KIWI AT AN AUSSIE BAR | Australian Beer Sizes” is a short comedy sketch about Australia’s unique and confusing system for beer measurements.
If you’re ordering a beer in Australia, you may need to decide between a pot and a pony, a middy and a schmiddy, or a schooner and a pint… Just remember that the names and sizes change per state so if you’re in South Australia a schmiddy is a schooner and a pint isn’t a pint…
Pretty straightforward really!
Meanwhile, if you’re in New Zealand, just ask for “a beer” and see what you get.
She’ll be right!

In NZ, we can order by the Jug. But there are different sized jugs. There is the 750, 1l, 1.25 and 1.5. Hence, the first question you need to ask a barmaid is “What size are your jugs”.
It depends what state you're in
Well I'm a bit drunk
I went into a pub in Victoria & asked for a schooner, she looked at me as if I had 2 heads, a voice from the kitchen said give him the biggest fucking glass you got.
He understood fucking Gold.
I’m from NSW
That's super weird. My local in Melbourne is all about the schooner. It's the perfect size. Pots are too small and pints are too big.
Just wait till it's time to pay for it,,,then comes the aussie Haka, ,,"where's my flaming wallet...."😀
In Queensland we originally did not have schooners... but have now.. for the last 20 years or so.. we used to have a pony..
Pony 140ml.
beer / Seven (fl oz) 200ml.
Pot 285ml.
Schooner 425ml.
Pint 570ml.
That's was a genuinely informative comment, thank you for your wisdom
Yea, I remember working in a bar in Brizy at lunch time, and an elderly wealthy Chappy would buy his ponies with his Burger with the lot, and head back to work 🐴😃
I became acquainted with the cute little pony when I went to Brisbane in 1985. There was no such thing here in Victoria and I haven't seen any since.
This is the way I know it as well. 5oz = pony, 7oz = glass, 10oz = pot, 15oz = schooner, 200z = pint
I asked a barmaid in the U.S. for "a STUBBIE of your local beer". Her expression changed to anger and I knew there was an uppercut coming. So I quickly added "No, no. It's a 375 mil bottle. (They only know fluid ounces over there) Just as quick her expression changed to completely blank. I had to just grunt and point. Shit! I just wanted a drink.
A Brit friend of mine told me of the reaction when he asked an American barmaid "Do you serve fags in here?"
What the h did she think it meant?
@@jocelynhunter2359 Well, you know to the "ragged rebbles" a 'stubbie' is sometimes a slang term for .. how should I put this? .. an erect member, a ridgid rodger, a roarin' hard-on, a stiffy. But be assured that I don't mix in those circles.
Depends what state you're in, oh I'm a bit drunk, lol that's gold.
At least the kiwi didn’t ask you for six
Why would he ask for 6 when his mate only wanted 1?
Many thanks to the TH-cam algorithm for bringing me here. I must visit one day. Maybe now, since we have half a meter of snow on the ground here.
Better than in NZ where the size of a beer is 'what ever the pub reckons is a good amount'
On the west coast we drink 12s as standard
Swappa bottles at my local. 😂
@@waynepantry7023 used to be 2 litre glass jugs but everyone keeped hitting each other over the head with them
@@singlefin7768 Which is good, cos I find the 1 litre jug much easier to swing around
@@waynepantry7023 yes, but not all jugs are created equal, there is the 750, 1l, 1.25 and a 1.5. Hence, the first thing you need to ask the barmaid are “what size are your jugs”.
I asked for a jug or a handle in a oz pub and got laughed at. They laughed even more when i told them we have a 1000 litre keg on a trailer called a mini tanker and we usually drink it over the weekend of our 21st birthday.
I recall a time when the shops at Auckland airport sold tee shirts stating that "Aussies have an underarm problem".
We shower regularly.
I can't tell if ur joking or not
@@warthunderwithkiwi4953 not joking @ 20 years ago
@@presidentxijinpingspoxdoct9756 it's because in cricket they beat us by doing an underarm bowl

Dude it was such a shock moving to Victoria from WA and having to translate beer sizes.
Schooners and Pints are the same over there though?
@@jayburgess4962 Starts with ponies generally for pensioners then glass then middy which is called a pot in Queensland and finally pints
Being that I’m not Australian or a Kiwi, this one was totally over my head. But I’ll continue to watch your channel
I’ve lived in Aussie for 15 years and don’t understand it and to be honest I don’t really think local Aussies do either but it’s all fun.
@@doneB830cuz ur not from aus u came here for reasons of travel or work or career but a Aussie Aussie like born and raised would
Saying that u think local Aussies won’t understand it when we were the ones to come up with it but u saying that being Ignorant when it’s our lingo for us to know not for outsiders like u to understand
As an interstate truck driver, I generally just ask for the biggest they have wherever I am.
Especially since some places are "fancy" and sell pints or steins
I thought "pint" was the international safe word for ordering an acceptable sized beer
@@fongdimbulator Australia stopped using pints and adopted the metric system in the 1940s I think.
You go into a outback town and its pots and schooners. Order anything else and you're laughed at. Used to be able to get 7oz too but not anymore.
Go into a city and it could be pot, schooner, middy, half pint, pint, stein.
I just say "beer. Big one!"
In NZ at lest where I live it 7oz, 12oz, a handle, a pint or a jug which comes with 7oz glasses
@@devlinpratt2598 the 7oz was always known as the barfly drink when I was a kid.
They were like 29 cents and the old guys that sat in the corner of the bar drinking all day would buy them because they were cheap and they would sit on drinks so long that anything bigger would go warm
@@1one3_Racing yeah I think 12s are more standard now but you still get the odd older fella who drinks 7s
Cher, no thanks I’ll just stand!
Jordan Parkyn I don't usually correct spelling mistakes, but it's chur, not cher! I'm a very forgiving Kiwi though. 😂
The Scarlet Fire muffled in the background is hilarious.
hahah one of the best videos I've seen in a while.
Classic classic classic
See, we British solved this by the Pint, a standardized measure of Beer.
Yea nah we have schooners and pints here a pint is slightly bigger
Every state now serves pints. Problem solved.
@@Yesntss so why would you want a schooner?
In WA we say pint, schooner sounds ridiculous
@@brett1983 when I lived in NSW, a schooner is in between midi and a pint
Got a 'Zespri Kiwifruit AUSTRALIA' ad during this video. 😅
South Australian born and bred and I still have no idea about the beer sizes.
Me too lol that was a good one 🙂👍🇦🇺
Glass sizes used to be Butcher, Schooner. Pint and Imperial Pint. Haven't been to pubs or clubs for years so they may have changed.
As an Aussie who has lived in three states and a territory can confirm. Simplest to just point at the glasses and say "that size please"
Clear as mud, and entertaining! Makes me smile as I reach for a tinnie......!
'True that' - in the good old days, one hot afternoon I was in Surfers, I needed a pint of beer (large amount stet). I asked for a pint of beer. The bar tender lady thought my kiwi accent had asked for a 'pot' of beer and gave me a teeny 7 oz glass. WTF - is with that??? Post international incident: advice was that I should have asked for a midi (apparently pronounced Meedee - like needy) and if I was feeling lucky I could have asked for a schooner, but to this day I am not sure what I would have got.
Do what I do and just order the brand you want. Most places now just serve you a schooner straight up no questions asked! It's bloody simpler this way. If you want something smaller then just ask for the middy (who wants a small drink when you're out drinking with mates anyway - what sort of a dumb idea is that - and who ever thought of it?).
Pronounced middy
Classic, exactly the same thing happened to me, I still remember the first time I went into a pub in Brisbane and asked for a pint and I got this ridiculously small glass of beer and I was like what the fuck is this??!! The bartender said it was a pot ... still the silliest size drink I've ever seen!
Over at my brothers once, he'd bought a case of VB throwdowns 'cause they were on special. His mate "Tiny" came over, dude is a Maori the size of a small house. As he's ducking and turning to fit through the doorway, my bro offers him a beer. "Chur bro!" as he grabs it, then holding it between his thumb and forefinger, he looked at it, looked at my bro, looked back at it. Said "whet the fick us thes bro?" Pissed myself, still one of the funniest things I've ever seen, this giant Maori holding this tiny little throwdown with a confused expression, thought my bro was taking the piss.
@@masondegaulle5731 Do they sell VB throw downs any more...gees you get drunk on them quick, because you've no idea how many you've had and suddenly the floor is littered with them!!! 🤣🤣🤣
i'm on my 3rd thimble gettin a bit rowdy
Pace them out m8.
Haha go easy brudda!
hahahaha, that's why I always send my boyfriend to order beer for me.
This is a true story.
Sitting in the railway hotel in townsville, early eighties,
2 tasmanians walked in.
Both asked for a beer. The barmaid, playing it safe gave them a 10oz. Along the bar were stubbies coolers. One of the tasmanians asked what they were, the barmaid answered, you put your beer in them to keep them cold.
They looked at each other and one of them actually poured his beer into it. Naturally it went all over the bar.
The barmaid gave him another beer and explained to him that they were for stubbies.
one of the funniest things I ever hear was a Kiwi talking to a South African. Do that one next.
Some of the other amusing differences between nomenclature in Australia and New Zealand:
Australia: Platoon New Zealand: Army
Australia: Coast Guard New Zealand: Navy
Australia: Air Force New Zealand: Non-Existent
Australian thong = jandal Rest of the world Thong = underwear that rides up your butt crack.
Australia Scooner large class of beer less than a pint.
Rest of the world =yacht
Australia Kangaroo
Rest of the world = Giant easter Bunny.
Australia johno,tommo,gazza,bazza,
Rest of the world = john,tom,gary,barry
Get it right:
Australia: Platoon NZ: Dave and his mate., Ken.
Australia: Coast Guard NZ: I think Ben has a boat we can borrow for the afternoon.
Australia: Air Force NZ: Is that some kind of bird? We have a few of those, but half of them don't fly either.

Australia's first satellite was designed, built and launched by Australians from Woomera in 1967 making us the 3rd country to do so. More rockets were launched from Woomera in the 50s and 60s than anywhere on Earth apart from Cape Canaveral. Rocket Lab got a foil-covered football into orbit 40 years later, and then relocated its registration and headquarters to the US after the American government essentially took them over.
I really wouldn't be boasting about NZ's intellectual prowess when Australia has 7 of the top 100 universities in the world while the best NZ can boast of is the University of Auckland at 147 which is lower than Indiana State. Australia has won 12 Nobel prizes for science while NZ has just 3.
Rutherford might have split the atom, but he did it in the UK and died there. Wilkins left NZ when he was 6 and was a British citizen when he photographed DNA but did not discover or first describe the DNA double helix. Alan MacDiarmid died an American citizen, and he and his two other non-NZ collaborators were merely building on the work of the Australians Bolto, McNeill & Weiss who were published some 30 years before.
Congratulations for giving women the vote 138 years after the Republic of Corsica and 1 year before South Australia. Congratulations also for being the first country to grant human being status to a river which proves what a progressive woke utopia Chairperson Belinda is leading the disarmed People's Republic of Aotearoa towards. Is there truly and wonder why 1 in 4 New Zealanders have already fled over the "dutch" to become second class coolies here in Australia to pay taxes but not receive any government benefits and quickly deported for spitting on the sidewalk?
@@lewtscott3346 Typical Kiwi. I can take it, and would love to see you "hand it out" further. Surely you can come up with something better than a koala joke, my little flightless bird? Have another shot.
That accent is spot on 🤣

I've seen two of this guy's video's and they both have been very good. I think I might follow.
Thanks Ray, happy to have ya on board. 😁
Bet he loves sitting on a nice hard polished deck! And having friends over on his deck!
I ran several pubs in the NT for years, never heard of handles.
What about a Stubby, is that
Kiwi or Ozsie

no one makes the truth funny quite like you do mr Drabble
Nah, here in west Balkan got it figured out. We have small and large. That's it.
2 pots is always nice too.especially when poured into a pint glass
Lol Love it!
Believe it or not it's been somewhat standardised. and in a lot of states a Pot (or equivalent) was the biggest you could get.
You know the Kiwis attempted a mission to the moon?...But it failed!...They ran out of scaffolding🤔
Yeah the Aussies failed too because they relied on the Kiwis to build it for them.
"A thimble of IPA" hahaha
So many southerners in Queensland no one knows what a pot is and alot of pubs dont even sell fourex. Its a bloody different world. Great Norther is a bloody good drop though🍻👍
I love it!
Don’t worry bro I fucked that up too when I first came to australia, now I (used to, don’t drink no more) just say “new thanks” they know exactly what I mean. too easy cuz.
I'm a New Zealander and yeah that's how it was when I was in Darwin back in the day.
Hahaha yep when we think we're the same , think again. Ask a kiwi what's a texter is
Im a N.Z Maori and i have quite a few solid Aussie brothers.. A tad racist, total wankers but top blokes..👌
All my mates are bloody wankers, but yeah nah top c##ts!
Yeah sounds about right!
Grab us a beer out of the chilli bin bro LOL ITS AN ESKY MATE 😂😂✌🇦🇺
@@mickythompson3807 it’s a chilly bun you eejit
Why do kiwis wear kilts, because the sheep are use to the sound of their zippers
hahaa Love it! Carry on...
Just use "Piss" if a Kiwi asks.
We say schooner in NSW too though.
Yup, they have schooners in every state. It’s just in SA schooners are smaller than schooners elsewhere. In SA a schooner is the size of a middy in NSW and the size of a schooner in NSW is the size of a pint in SA. Hope that clears it up! 🍻

Just get a jug no pub or person can fuck that up.
They not allowed to serve jugs anymore, not in WA anymore
@@mortymorty5771 well apparently you can fuck a jug up I stand corrected
@@lukeclarke8054 Jugs were easier and cheaper .. the pubs make more money by the glass ..
@@mortymorty5771 here in qld they had it pretty well figured out how to get the same profit no matter how you brought it.

😂😂😂 Chur bro
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏. How about a FOB in a Bar🤣🤣
All i heard was kiwis, where was the aussie
Yeah, travelling interstate can be hard at times.
ill hive sux beers and the mumum of chups thinks
Loved that commotion...
I finally found out what chur means
RIP me Mr Google would've answered the question! 🤙
Spot on!
This made my day 😂🤣😂🤣😅
Just give me the largest beer you've got 🤣
Lol, good one
Hahahhah nice one bro
Chur, bro!
That is the dingo lingo !
I didn't know it was this bad. I still have trouble with beers in Victoria so always get a jug or a pot lol. It's not worth the effort to relearn this stuff so that's fine with me. I grew up with 8 and 10 ounce beers on tap.
100% underrated content
And that is exactly why I stuck to bottles when I was in Aus.........
Long necks, stubbies, growlers, or squealers?
@@chrisdrabble I was a stubbies man. I was young........
Tallies
Chris you look exactly like that Kiwi waiter dude in this video. Uncanny
Just fill my box off long necks up from my crate behind the bar.
Wow, I'm told my Grandfather used to get them to keep a crate of long necks behind the bar at the old Gluepot in Auckland because he didn't like cold beer.
Hahaha goddamn Aussie slang
love it
That Aussie looks like a shandi man. I have bought scooners in NZ before.
Really. I thought maybe a lager top.
Never knew that it’s only called a pot of beer in Vic!
And qld for small 285ml
Used to smash 2 dollar pots in the day! Distant memories now.
We used to use schooners in NZ up until the 80s maybe 90s I'm sure if you visit a small country town they'll know what you're talking about.
Yes, schooners, pints, handles, all the same.
now that was bloody well funny as fak.. lmfao now i know !!!!
Hahahahaha awesome
Hard time finding a bar in NZ!!
My favourite part of this is that they’re using DankPods background music
So true... And try using a trailer. Theres half a dozen different trailer plug variants... I reckon it's to limit the risk of theft without alerting everyone... (Aussie is full of opportunist thieves).
no matter what size. i always order x2, or a jug, chur
Where I live in regional WA, there's a bar, that sells pony's, it's about the size of one of those small Vegemite glass jars
true but u can/could (1980) only order a pony ( i think 7oz) if u sat/stood up at the bar. Personally fresh off the boat from Pomland I thought it was superb - u got a fresh chilled beer (not over 2 or was it 4 deg C) in a glass from the freezer cabinet every time. Talk about civilised :) Good onya Oz. A midi was 10oz and a schooner 15oz. if memory serrves me well.
Depends where you are but a pony is either 5oz (half a pot/midi), or 6oz. Schooner in Vic is 15oz and pint 20.
Well a pony in WA is a beer in Queensland, and things go downhill from there.
Foreskin or no foreskin 😂😂
Half Broom and shovel.
Chur bro! In UnZid they make you take your glass back to the bar for a refill - choice ...
The politics of beer we can't even get that right
Just ask for a pint 5/6 states will get you by just fine.
🤣🤣🤣 crack up maaate
Love aussie !
I will instead go for a gallon...
That'll confuse the visiting yanks though. Their gallon is 3.78 litres, not our 4.54 litres. Lol.
Mind you, at least they'll drink the Fosters for you. Lol. They think Coors Lite and Bud Lite are beers, so funny.
Aussies blady strange guys...😜
