Men's place setting
A men's place setting (sometimes also for short ) is a certain combination of two alcoholic drinks . It differs from the women's table setting , which usually combines sparkling wine with a non-alcoholic drink.
Regional variants
If a man's place setting is ordered in a pub, a beer - a Pils (in Bavaria a Helles Bier , in Cologne a Kölsch , in Düsseldorf an Altbier ) - and a Korn (in Düsseldorf a Killepitsch ) are served, that is a so-called "long" and a "short".
In some parts of Germany, a beer cocktail is referred to as a men's cover . It consists of pilsner with sparkling wine. A bottle of Pilsner is served with a 0.2 l bottle of dry or semi-dry sparkling wine. First the beer is poured into the beer glass, the sparkling wine is then carefully poured in.
In Hamburg , a man's place setting used to mean a bottle of beer and a 0.2 liter bottle of dry or semi-dry sparkling wine. In many bars around the Reeperbahn , a men's table setting was a mandatory minimum consumption until the 1970s if free admission was advertised. The price for this first order was basically two to four times as high as that for the second drink or the subsequent order. These were expressly marked as such on the drinks menu.
