A 7 fluid ounce glass of beer served in a Western Australian or Victorian hotel: Can I have a glass of Swan Lager please. Compare butcher, handle, middy1, middy2, pony, pot, schooner1, schooner2, seven.
Contributor's comments: In the Hunter Valley NSW, we ask for a "seven" of drink.
Contributor's comments: A 'glass' of beer in Melbourne, and I believe, generally in Victoria, referred to a 7 oz glass of beer, compared with the 5 oz 'pony' or the 10oz 'pot'. A 'schooner' which means a 20 oz glass in Sydney was not used in Melbourne. This usage refers to the '60's.
Contributor's comments: A schooner in Sydney is 15 oz (425 ml) and not 20 oz. A 20 oz glass is a "pint".
