Pitchers

In certain countries, especially New Zealand and Australia, a 'Jug' refers to a jug (usually plastic) containing exactly 2 pints (just over a litre) of beer. It is usually served along with one or more small glasses from which the beer is normally consumed, although in some student bars it is more common for the beer to be drunk directly from the jug, which is usually served without the accompanying glass. (In the U.S., this may be called a pitcher -- although few U.S. pitchers are as small as a litre, generally holding between 64 and 128 U.S. fluid ounces, approximately 2-4 litres. In New Zealand and Australia a pitcher likewise refers a much larger measure of beer).
