Beer Glasses, Part One - Slashfood's Glassware Guide

Beer Mug

When the beer is run-of-the-mill and the hops drinker just wants to consume mass quantities, a tough exterior, and the ability to clink and cheers is what counts. The beer mug – this is the glass to use. It won't make any flavors pop, but it will allow for rowdy consumption.

Pilsner Glass

These are tall and thin glasses -- sometimes stemmed -- but usually flat-bottom with a short hourglass shape and tall torso. Pilsner glasses are great for light beers (like, of course, the pilsner). The hoppy aroma will be highlighted with this glass, as well as carbonation.

Pint Glass

The run of the mill pint glass is just that – a so-so vessel for your beer. It will suit most types, which is why it's so often used, but it will not highlight any. To get the best from this glass, choose a wide-rimmed, 20-oz variety that tapers slightly at the top. This will work well for large heads.
