Availability in the UK

A snakebite is typically served in a pint glass.[1] Serving a snakebite from separate cider and lager taps or bottles is legal in the UK, despite sources that suggest otherwise.[2] In 2001, former US President Bill Clinton was refused a snakebite when he ordered one at the Old Bell Tavern in Harrogate, North Yorkshire as a consequence of this myth.[3]
