Seems liek alot of places that used to have brass mugs for their Mules now serve them in glasses (blech!) Why? Because too many people ran off with their brass mugs. I've been to a few places that now won't serve you a Mule in a brass mug unless you leave them a credit card or an extra $5 or $10, which all gets returned when you return the mug.
