About this deal

The Pilsner beer glass has a tall, slender shape to emphasise the colour and carbonation of the beer, with a broad top to help maintain the beer's head. A similar style to the Pilsner glass is the Weizen beer glass, specially designed to complement wheat beer. If you’re a Guinness fan, then you need to get your hands on these Guinness Pint Glasses! They’re CE marked, embossed with a harp design, and seriously stylish. Designed specially for German wheat beers, and also known as a weissbier glass, or a weizenbier glass, the wheat beer glass shape is like an elongated version of the classic tulip pint glass. The bulbous top of the glass is ideal for containing a large head on the beer and for trapping the aromas, while the base is slightly flared to help catch any yeast at the bottom of the glass for a better drinking experience. The design of a wheat beer glass can vary slightly and can almost be interchangeable with some pilsner glasses, particularly hourglass pilsner glasses. Another popular pub glass, the American beer glass, also known as shaker pint glasses are conical in shape. Used for serving a US pint, which is 16oz or 14oz, the American pint glass is commonly used in pubs around the world as a standard drinking glass and is available in various sizes, including 20oz pints and 10oz half pints for serving draught beer in the UK.

Therefore, these glasses would make a great addition to any Establishment, New Home Bar or Man Cave, to That Growing Guinness Collection or as the perfect gift for the Guinness Drinker in your life. Sometimes known as a pony beer glass, beer tasting glasses can be any small drinking glass that provides a sample serving of beer. Particularly useful for brewing competitions and beer tasting sessions, a beer sample cup can be almost any shape and style, however because of its effective throw-away use a simple conical glass is common. For a more refined presentation when beer tasting, a group of glasses can be served with a beer flight, which is a specially designed tray for presenting around 3 small glasses. A popular feature of modern beer glasses is a nucleated base, such as Arcoroc's Head-On-It glasses and Head First glasses. A nucleated glass features very small pits which allow the gas to be more readily released, which helps preserve the head of the beer. The two common types of nucleation are a laser etched nucleated base which offers optimum nucleation or a printed nucleated base which stands out more making it ideal for customisation and branding. A popular party glass, the German Beer Boot or Bierstiefel in Germany, has been popularised in recent years by the movie Beerfest where it is called "Das Boot", but it is thought to have its origins in the military. A tip for drinking from a beer boot is to keep the toe pointed down - when pointed up, air will enter the toe and the contents will rush out, more often than not soaking the drinker.

Similar to beer steins, tankards are traditionally made from pewter, or even silver, however the beer tankard is now often made from glass and comes in a variety of shapes and styles. Essentially a drinking vessel with a handle, the tankard is perhaps best known for being a pewter vessel with a glass base. The scope for novelty beer glasses is almost endless, with no restrictions on shapes, sizes and styles. Popular novelty beer glasses include sexy beer glasses and skull beer glasses, which make great gifts for beer lovers. Traditional beer glasses such as the nonic have also been oversized to unusually large sizes such as 5 pints to create an effectively unusable beer glass, but fun gift. Novelty glasses can come in many themes, with tiki or Hawaiian themed glassware or ceramics becoming more popular for use at parties.

Famed by the high ABV Belgian bière de champagne, DeuS, a flute champagne style glass can also be used to serve beer. With similar properties to a narrow stemmed beer glass, the flute shape promotes carbonation for better head retention. Suitable for serving a sparkling beer, standard champagne flutes can be applied to fruit beers as the narrow bowl directs the aromas up to the nose. Of course, with the variety of beer glasses on the market it is not surprising that beers, lagers and ales could be served in all manner of drinking vessels. For good beers that need to be appreciated, a nice wine glass makes a perfect drinking vessel; red wine glasses will usually have a rounded bowl and narrow rim, similar to a beer snifter, while white wine glasses have a wide rimmed bowl, like a beer goblet. Choosing a larger wine glass helps accommodate bottled beer, which usually come in 33cl sizes, and allows you to swirl your beer to release the aromas. Commonly used for serving Guinness and other dry stouts, the Tulip beer glass has now become a classic pub glass. Chosen for their looks rather than their tasting benefits, Tulip glasses are often made from toughened glass which makes them a practical choice for serving pints. Just like wine glasses, beer glasses come in a variety of shapes and sizes to complement your chosen beer, lager or ale. Beer, lager and ale can be served in virtually any glass but choosing the best beer glass for your beer variety can instantly enhance the flavour, aroma and colour of your beer. Whether you're a home drinker or a pub landlord, you'll want to get the most benefits out of your chosen glassware, so you'll need to know the difference between your standard tulip beer glass and your German pilsner beer glass. In the same way that the tulip or the nonic pint glasses are synonymous with British beer service, the willi becher glass is a common German beer glass. A general all-rounder, the willibecher has a conical shape, which then narrows towards the rim to help trap and concentrate the aromas of your beer.Originally a ceramic beer mug, the beer stein is defined as being a beer mug with a lid, designed to keep flies and bugs out of your drink, making them ideal for outdoor drinking, and especially for use at beer festivals. The term beer stein however the term stein is generally applied to most handled beer glasses, particularly the masskrug, famed for serving beer at Oktoberfest and other beer festivals in Europe. These Officially Branded Guinness Glasses make your Guinness drinking experience vastly improved when drinking from this Branded Glass. A flute shaped pilsner glass provides a similar drinking vessel for beers, but with a larger volume.

More of a novelty and decorative example of glassware, the modern "trinkhorn" is inspired by the use of hollowed and gilded cattle horns used by vikings and other civilisations before the production of ceramic and glass vessels. Of course, not everything went according to plan – the courier left the glasses on the doorstep, in full view of the street. But hey, at least they were still intact! Beer glasses are not only defined by their style and shape but also their various features. While delicate glasses may offer finer rims for tasting, toughened beer glasses are often popular with public houses due to their longer lifespan and glass safety. Nucleated Beer Glasses Any branded beer glass that is unique to that brand may be considered a specialist glass as they will often have been produced with the appreciation of that beer in mind.The beer snifter is a large bulbous stemmed glass that is shaped to concentrate the aromas of your beer or ale and direct them towards the nose. Very similar to brandy snifters, a beer snifter glass can likewise be used to swirl your drink to help release the hidden aromas, in fact a large brandy snifter is an ideal substitute to a beer snifter. Similar to a beer goblet, but usually holding a larger volume of drink, a stemmed schooner glass is usually found in the US for serving beers in a European style glass, but with a durable finish that is suited to use in restaurants. Ideal for serving Scotch ale, these exaggerated stemmed tulip beer glasses are designed for a large head and the bulbous bowl helps to capture and promote the aromas of the ale. As well as the practical application of the shape, the thistle glass also represents the national flower of Scotland.
