Drinking and serving glass for beer

Beer glassware (from left to right): *Pilstulpe*, [tasting glass](/source/Tasting_glass), [snifter](/source/Snifter), *Willibecher*

**Beer glassware** comprise vessels, today usually made of glass, designed or commonly used for serving and drinking [beer](/source/Beer). Styles of beer glasses vary in accordance with national or regional traditions; legal or customary requirements regarding serving measures and [fill lines](/source/Fill_line); and practicalities such as avoiding breakage during washing, stacking or storage. They also vary due to commercial promotion by breweries; artistic or cultural expression in [folk art](/source/Folk_art), novelty items or [drinking games](/source/Drinking_games); or to complement, enhance, or otherwise affect a [particular type of beer](/source/Beer_style)'s temperature, appearance and aroma, as in the case of its [head](/source/Beer_head). Drinking vessels intended for beer are made from a variety of materials other than [glass](/source/Glass), including [pottery](/source/Stoneware), [pewter](/source/Pewter), and [wood](/source/Wood).

In commercial settings across many countries, beer glasses are served placed on a [paperboard](/source/Paperboard) [beer mat](/source/Beer_mat) that is usually printed with brand advertising.

## International styles

### Pilsner glass

Pilsner glass from [Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg](/source/Eggenberg_Castle%2C_Vorchdorf)

A traditional German *Pilstulpe* ("pilsner tulip") glass.

A pilsner glass is used for many types of light beers, including [pale lager](/source/Pale_lager) or [pilsner](/source/Pilsner). Pilsner glasses are generally smaller than a pint glass, usually in 200 millilitres (7.0 imperial fluid ounces), 250 ml (8.8 imp fl oz), 300 ml (11 imp fl oz), 330 ml (12 imp fl oz) or 400 ml (14 imp fl oz) sizes. In Europe, 500 ml (18 imp fl oz) glasses are also common. They are tall, slender and tapered. The slender glass reveals the [colour](/source/Beer_colour), and [carbonation](/source/Carbonation) of the beer,[1] and the broad top helps maintain a [beer head](/source/Beer_head).[2]

Weizen glasses are sometimes mistakenly called pilsner glasses because they are somewhat similar in appearance, but true pilsner glasses have an even taper without any amount of curvature.[3]

### Pint glass

Further information: [Pint glass](/source/Pint_glass)

The definition of a [pint](/source/Pint) differs by country, thus a [pint glass](/source/Pint_glass) will reflect the regular measure of beer in that country. In the UK, law stipulates that a serving of beer be fixed at the [imperial pint](/source/Pint#Imperial_pint) (568 ml or 1.20095 [US pints](/source/U.S._customary_units)). Half-pint glasses of 10 imp fl oz (284 ml) and one-third pint glasses of 189ml are generally smaller versions of pint glasses. Quarter-pint glasses of 5 imp fl oz (142 ml) also exist, and are popular in Australia (now 140 ml from metrication), where they are known as a "pony". These may simply be smaller pint glasses, or may be a special [pony glass](/source/Pony_glass). In the US, a pint is 16 US fl oz (473 ml), but the glasses may vary somewhat, and glasses of 500 ml are also called pints in American parlance.

The common shapes of [pint glasses](/source/Pint_glass) are:

- Conical glasses are shaped, as the name suggests, as an inverted truncated [cone](/source/Cone_(geometry)) around 6 inches (15 cm) tall and tapering by about 1 inch (25 mm) in [diameter](/source/Diameter) over its height.

- The nonic, a variation on the conical design, where the glass [bulges](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bulge) out a couple of inches from the top; this is partly to improve the grip, partly to prevent the glasses from sticking together when stacked, and partly to give strength and stop the rim from becoming chipped or "nicked".[4] The term "nonic" derives from "no nick".

- Jug glasses, or "dimple mugs", are shaped more like a large mug with a handle. They are moulded with a grid pattern of thickened glass on the outside, somewhat resembling the segmentation of a WWII-era [hand grenade](/source/Hand_grenade). The dimples prevent the glass slipping out of the fingers in a washing-up bowl, and the design of the glass emphasises strength, also to withstand frequent manual washing. These design features became less important when manual washing was superseded by machine washing from the 1960s onwards. Dimpled glasses are now rarer than the other types and are regarded as more traditional.[5] This sort of glass is also known as a "Handle" due to the handle on the glass. They are popular with the older generation and people with restricted movement in their hands which can make holding a usual pint glass difficult. They have recently started to make a comeback, especially in northern Britain.[6]

### Connoisseur's glassware

Beer connoisseurs sometimes invest in special, non-traditional glassware to enhance their appreciation. An example was the range marketed by [Michael "Beer Hunter" Jackson](/source/Michael_Jackson_(writer)).

### Snifters

A snifter

Typically used for serving brandy and cognac, a [snifter](/source/Snifter) is ideal for capturing the volatiles of aromatic beers such as [Double/Imperial IPAs](/source/India_pale_ale), Belgian ales, [barley wines](/source/Barley_wine) and [wheat wines](/source/Wheat_wine). The shape helps trap the volatiles, while allowing swirling to agitate them and produce an intense aroma.

### Taster glasses

Tasting glasses, also known as testers, are small, versatile glasses designed for sampling a variety of beers in small amounts. These glasses are a staple at beer festivals, tasting events, and [breweries](/source/Brewery), allowing drinkers to explore different styles without committing to a full glass. Glasses holding ⁠1/3⁠ of a pint or less may be used to:

- Try a beer in a pub or café before purchasing a full measure

- Split a bottle of rare or strong beer between friends

- Sample multiple beers without becoming [inebriated](/source/Alcohol_intoxication). For instance a brewpub might provide a sampler of three different brews in ⁠1/3⁠ pint measures, or a [beer festival](/source/Beer_festival) might provide small capacity glasses for [patrons](/source/Patronage).

### Plastic

Plastic beer vessels are usually shaped in imitation of whichever glasses are usual in the locality. They are mainly used as a substitute for glass vessels where breakages would be particularly problematic or likely, for instance at outdoor events.

### *Weizen* glasses

A [weizen](/source/Weizen) glass with a [fill line](/source/Fill_line)

A *weizen* glass is used to serve [wheat beer](/source/Wheat_beer).[7] Originating in Germany, the glass is narrow at the bottom and slightly wider at the top; the width both releasing aroma, and providing room for the often thick, fluffy heads produced by wheat beer.[8] It tends to be taller than a pint glass, and generally holds 500 ml (7⁄8 imp pt) with room for foam or "[head](/source/Beer_head)". In some countries, such as Belgium, the glass may be 250 ml (1⁄2 imp pt) or 330 ml (5⁄8 imp pt).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Wheat beers tend to foam a lot, especially if poured quickly. In pubs, if the bottle is handed to the patron for self pouring, it is customary for the glass to be taken to the patron wet or with a bit of water in the bottom to be swirled around to wet the entire glass to keep the beer from foaming excessively.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Beer stein

[Beer stein](/source/Beer_stein) or simply "stein" ([/ˈstaɪn/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) [*STYNE*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key)) has been for over a century an English expression for a traditional German beer mug made out of [stoneware](/source/Stoneware), whether simple and serviceably sturdy, or elaborately ornamental with either a traditionally cultural theme, or so embellished as to be sold as a [souvenir](/source/Souvenir) or a [collectible](/source/Collectible). The former may be made out of [stoneware](/source/Stoneware), but rarely the inferior [earthenware](/source/Earthenware) or wood, while the latter is usually of glazed [pottery](/source/Pottery), but often [porcelain](/source/Porcelain) or [pewter](/source/Pewter), or even silver or [crystal](/source/Crystal_glass). It may have either an uncovered mouth or a hinged [pewter](/source/Pewter) lid with a thumb-[lever](/source/Lever). The capacity of a German "stein" indicated by its [fill line](/source/Fill_line) on its side ranged from "0.4l" (4 deci-litre), through "0.5l" (half a litre) or a full litre (or comparable historic sizes). Like decorative [tankards](/source/Tankard), steins are often decorated in a culturally nostalgic, often German or [Bavarian](/source/Bavaria), theme. Some believe the lid that excludes flies from the beer today was originally intended for those so diseased in the age of the [Black Plague](/source/Black_Plague).[9]

### *Maßkrug*

A *Maßkrug* can be made with stoneware or glass.

Main article: [Maß](/source/Ma%C3%9F)

The *Maß* ([\[ˈmas\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Standard_German)) is a one-litre (1.8-imperial-pint; 34-US-fluid-ounce) quantity of beer, most commonly used in Bavaria and Austria.[10] It is served in a *Maßkrug* (pl. *Maßkrüge*), which is sometimes simply referred to as a *Maß*. As a feminine noun, it is *die Maß*, though commonly confused with the grammatically neuter noun *das Maß*, meaning "measure". The unit of volume is typically used only for measuring beer sold for immediate on-site consumption. Because the *Maß* is a unit of measure, it can come in the form of a glass or [stoneware](/source/Stoneware) mug.

The endurance sport of *Maßkrugstemmen* involves holding a filled, 2.4-kilogram (5.3 lb) *Maß* at arm's length.[11] The world record is 45 minutes and 2 seconds.[12]

### *Stangen*

[Dunkel](/source/Dunkel) beer in a *Stange*

The high, narrow and cylindrical *Stange* (German for "stick" or "rod", plural *Stangen*) is traditionally used for *[Kölsch](/source/K%C3%B6lsch_(beer))*. A *Becher*, traditionally used for *[Altbier](/source/Altbier)*, is similar, though slightly shorter and fatter. The *Stange* usually holds between 100 and 200 ml (1⁄8 and 3⁄8 imp pt), though larger ones are now sometimes used to reduce serving work. *Stangen* are carried by slotting them into holes in a special tray called a *Kranz* ("wreath").[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### *Willibecher*

Standard *Willibecher*

The *Willibecher* or *Willybecher*[13] ("Willi glass") is common in Germany. Its invention in 1954 is commonly attributed to an employee of Ruhrglas GmbH named Willy Steinmeier.[14] It is characterized by its shape: conical to the top portion where it curves inward to converge back to the top of a smaller diameter opening. The *Willibecher* is produced in sizes of 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 ml (0.35, 0.44, 0.53, 0.70, and 0.88 imp pt; 6.8, 8.5, 10.1, 13.5, and 16.9 US fl oz).

### Beer boot

German "Beer boot"

Main article: [Beer boot](/source/Beer_boot)

Boot- and shoe-shaped drinking vessels have been found at archaeological sites dating back to the bronze-age [Urnfield cultures](/source/Urnfield_culture). Modern beer boots (German: *Bierstiefel*) have over a century of history and culture behind them. It is commonly believed that a general somewhere promised his troops to drink beer from his boot if they were successful in battle. When the troops prevailed, the general had a glassmaker fashion a boot from glass to fulfill his promise without tasting his own feet and to avoid spoiling the beer in his leather boot. Since then, soldiers have enjoyed toasting to their victories with a beer boot. At gatherings in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, beer boots are often passed among the guests for a festive drinking challenge. Since the movie *[Beerfest](/source/Beerfest)* premiered in 2006, beer boots have become increasingly popular in the United States.[15]

It is an old joke to hand the boot to a young novice drinker with the toe pointing away from his person, which will result in beer pouring over the drinker's face uncontrollably when air enters the toe; seasoned drinkers always point the toe towards their body until the glass is sufficiently drained.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### *Pilstulpe*

Traditional German *Pilstulpen*

The *Pilstulpe* ("Pilsner Tulip") or *Biertulpe* ("Beer tulip") is the traditional glass used for German pilsner beers. Sizes are typically around 300 millilitres (11 imp fl oz; 10 US fl oz), but can be as large as 500 millilitres (18 imp fl oz; 17 US fl oz). When used in restaurant settings, a small piece of absorbent paper is placed around the base to absorb any drips from spilling or condensation.

Further information: [Beer in Belgium § Glassware](/source/Beer_in_Belgium#Glassware), and [Beer in the Netherlands](/source/Beer_in_the_Netherlands)

Stronger or bottled beers are frequently served in specially made, elaborately branded glassware. In addition to the profusion of glasses provided by brewers, some Belgian beer cafés serve beer in their own "house" glassware, which avoids having to keep a large number of different glass types in stock.

### Flute glass

A vessel similar to a [champagne flute](/source/Champagne_flute) is often the preferred serving vessel for Belgian [lambics](/source/Lambics) and [fruit beers](/source/Fruit_beer). The narrow shape helps maintain carbonation, while providing a strong aromatic front. Flute glasses display the lively carbonation, sparkling color, and soft lacing of this distinct style.

### Goblet or Chalice

[Chalices](/source/Chalice_(cup)) and [goblets](/source/Goblet) are large, [stemmed](/source/Stemware), bowl-shaped glasses considered suitable for serving heavy [Belgian ales](/source/Beer_in_Belgium#Belgian_ale), German [bocks](/source/Bock), and other big sipping beers. The distinction between goblet and chalice is typically in the glass thickness. Goblets tend to be thick, while the chalice is thin walled. Some chalices are even etched on the bottom to nucleate a stream of bubbles for maintaining a nice head.

		- [Rochefort beer](/source/Rochefort_beer)'s "goblet" glass

### Tulip glass

A tulip glass has a shape similar to a brandy [snifter](/source/Snifter). The body is bulbous, like a snifter, but the top flares out to form a lip which helps head retention. It is recommended for serving [Scottish ales](/source/Scottish_ale), American double/imperial IPAs, [barley wines](/source/Barley_wine), Belgian ales and other aromatic beers. Some [pint glasses](/source/Pint_glass) that taper outwards towards the top are also called tulip glasses, despite having noticeably less curvature.

### Tankard

A [tankard](/source/Tankard) is a form of [drinkware](/source/Drinkware) consisting of a large, roughly [cylindrical](/source/Cylinder_(geometry)), drinking cup with a single handle. Tankards are usually made of silver, [pewter](/source/Pewter), or glass, but can be made of other materials, for example wood, [ceramic](/source/Ceramic) or leather.[16] A tankard may have a hinged [lid](/source/Lid_(container)), and tankards featuring glass bottoms are also fairly common. Tankards are shaped and used similarly to [beer steins](/source/Beer_stein). Metal tankards were popular in 18th and early 19th century Britain and Ireland, but were largely superseded by glass vessels. They are now seen as collector's items, or may be engraved and presented as a gift. Wooden and leather tankards were popular before the 17th century, but being made of organic materials have rarely survived intact to the present day.

### Yard of ale

A yard of ale

A [yard of ale](/source/Yard_of_ale) or yard glass is a very tall glass used for drinking around 2.5 imperial pints (1,400 ml) of beer, depending upon the diameter. The glass is approximately 1 yard (91 cm) long, shaped with a bulb at the bottom, and a widening shaft which constitutes most of the height.[17]

The glass most likely originated in 17th-century England where the glass was known also as a "Long Glass", a "Cambridge Yard (Glass)" and an "[Ell](/source/Ell) Glass". It is associated by legend with stagecoach drivers, though was mainly used for drinking feats and special toasts.[18][19] (Compare with the [Pauwel Kwak](/source/Pauwel_Kwak) glass).

Drinking a yard glass full of beer is a traditional [pub game](/source/Pub_game). The fastest drinking of a yard of ale in the *[Guinness Book of Records](/source/Guinness_Book_of_Records)* is 5 seconds.[20]

## Australian measures

Main article: [Beer in Australia § Beer glasses](/source/Beer_in_Australia#Beer_glasses)

Prior to [metrication in Australia](/source/Metrication_in_Australia), one could buy beer in glasses of size 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15 or 20 [imperial](/source/Imperial_system) [fluid ounces](/source/Fluid_ounce). Each sized glass had a different name in each Australian state. These were replaced by glasses of size 115, 140, 170, 200, 285, 425 and 570 ml. Progressively, the differences are decreasing. In the 21st century, most pubs no longer have a glass smaller than 200 ml (7 imp fl oz); typically available are 200ml, 285ml and 425ml, and increasingly many pubs also have pints 570 millilitres (20.1 imp fl oz) available.
