Flat Carling? Which are the right glasses

Why is my Carling Flat? Are there different Carling glasses? We often get asked these questions. As we don’t work for them it is a difficult one for us to answer. Thankfully A.O. does and he wrote an answer to a question in the forum explaining how it is.

There are now 3 types of Carling glasses in circulation.

1. Carling ‘normal’ glasses with the white widget in the bottom of the glass.

2. Carling ‘Extra Cold’ glasses with a larger white widget in the bottom of the glass and the words ‘EXTRA COLD’ molded into the sides of the glass.

3. The brand new laser etched glasses (no white widget-looks like the bottom of the glass has been attacked with a big nail; These are universal – for use with Carling ‘normal’ & Carling ‘Extra Cold’

The white widget glasses are to be discontinued and only the laser etched glass will be issued.

This is a pity because the the white widget is an excellent indicator of glass condition, i.e if the widget looks yellow when the glass is placed on a sheet of white paper, it requires ‘renovating’ with renovate powder.

Internal company rumour has it that the ‘white widget’ glasses were the first widget glasses in the world that were designed with a scientific level of ‘widgeting’ – Molson Coors Brewers actually researched and developed a full specification for a producing a consistent level of widgeting!

In fact some batches of white widget ‘Extra Cold’ widget glasses were so powerfull that the head on the Carling would actually grow after being poured – sort of like an icecream cone.

Hope this helps

Cheers
