Went to Dicks last night after the game and saw they are now serving beer in paper cups. I was told this was because of the environment, but if this was the concern couldn't they just copy Tottenham and use thicker plastic that are washed and re-used. Personally, I hated the paper cups, the staff seemed to spend ages removing froth with a scoop to see if the cup is full, I found the beer got warm, and the cups collapsed when holding. Anyone else got complaints or is it just me being a miserable old *******.

Prefer a Harveys in a paper cup over a plastic one to be honest if I had a choice.

Paper cups for beer is a terrible idea. Got served them at an away game this season (can’t remember which) and had a funny taste.
Plus as you say they tend to froth more takes longer to serve

Beavertown Neck Oil was lovely out of a re-usable 'glass' at Spurs. We should have them if we are so environmentally focused.

I would think you need to add up the co2 cost of the making, washing and reusing cycle to work out if they’re actually better than a recycable paper cup. I’ve no idea but 20k plastic cups all needing washing propbably has an intensive energy use.

I'd prefer it in a glass! . . . if l drank beer that is, which l don't.

Realise of course that isn't possible anywhere within the realms of the club, after all that glass could cause some serious damage should it be used for the wrong reasons.

When I did drink I definitely thought the Harvey’s at the Amex tasted foul after drinking a pint in a glass in a Lewes pub.

Agreed, l don't think that any beer would taste as good from a paper cup as it would a glass. Just common sense really

Small boys in the park? Jackets for goalposts? Paper cups for beer? Hm. Marvellous. Isn't it?

I don't care what they serve it in as long it's Harvey's and not that foul shit called Doom Bar
