If you want some more:
The Sacke
Rhenish Wine House
Canary House
Barley Broth (fairly common)
Yorkshire Stingo (Marylebone Road, London)
Beeswing (unless after the famous racehorse 1835-42) - do you accept the crust
on port as part of the drink?
There are many named after receptacles. All this from Larwood and Hotten,
English inn signs (new edition NY: Arco 1985).
