Game 4. Chase the Schmiddy
The Schmiddy is a relatively new beer glass size, somewhere between the volume of a Middy 10 Imperial Fluid Ounces and the larger Schooner 15 Imperial fluid ounces , hence the name Sch-middy. It has found notoriety because a customer is often charged the price of a Schooner but given a measure which is considerably less. This card game revolves around making Jugs of Beer with 3 cards or more and not being in possession of the Schmiddy card at the end of the game.
