Mystery Pint

An opportunely discovered unfinished and unattended glass of beer or cider which is swiftly acquired and consumed by the seeker of such mystery pints. Often these can be found in Wetherspoons or other watering holes close to the closing hour.

The risk of being caught and/or health consequences of finishing strangers’ potentially adulterated drinks in a pub is the crux of the ‘mystery’ of this money-saving technique and conducive to the thrill and excitement of stumbling upon a holy-grail of fermented grains.

A: “Good time at the pub last night?”
