Beer Glasses

October 28, 2009

Beer glasses, as you most likely already know, come in all shapes and sizes… Heck, beer itself comes in all kinds of forms, some of which we’ll discuss briefly…

Pilsner glasses are glasses that are almost fluted, and very thin. They ar thinner at the bottom than they are at the top, which allows the bubbles that form due to carbonation to rise and expand to the top of the glass. Pilsners generally have a stem-like base, kinda what you’re used to seeing on wine glasses and martini glasses, even plastic martini glasses

Pint glasses are very similar to pilsner glasses in that they are also wider at the top than they are at the base, but pint glasses lack a stem-like base. Pint glasses are generally 16oz. in volume, though they really do come in all shapes and sizes, as we mentioned at the top of the page.
