Product Information

Selling beer in unmeasured glasses without using some other form of calibrated measure is illegal. Half-pint, one-third pint and two-thirds pint (schooners) glasses are also available and are subject to the same laws. Two-thirds of a pint is not equal to the Canadian, US or Australian schooners, which are respectively of different measures. Instead, the term "schooner" is sometimes informally used within the UK to describe two-thirds of a pint (379ml). In truth, you can pour just about any beer into a Nonic. At least, any beer that would normally get poured into an American pint glass that is. Plus, they hold more. An Imperial Nonic carries 20oz of fresh beer. Or, 4 more ounces than you'd get otherwise in a pint. And, it's got a sharper look, even if that look is a bit more rounded. Beer glasses are kind of like house plants—sometimes they are hard to keep alive,” Bakker says. “I recommend looking for glasses that you will be able to clean and maintain. Stemmed glasses and glasses with intricate artwork on them are nice, but always require hand washing versus ease of the dishwasher. Thinner, lighter glasses require a softer touch when cleaning, drying, and storing.”

A more recent pint glass style mimics that of a standard pint-sized beer can. This pint glass has straight, cylindrical sides with an inverted lip and base. This style is around 40 per cent lighter than a conical style pint glass because it is less prone to tipping, so it doesn’t need to have a heavy base to provide stability. Choosing the right glass gift Tulip glasses are more modern, having a taller shape, and usually flaring out towards the top; these designs are more commonly associated with continental lagers or promotional campaigns by breweries, and are frequently etched or marked with the beer's label. That classic beer can size and shape just feels correct in the hand, but the glass construction takes the classiness level up a few notches, and the lightweight feel of the glass itself is a refreshing twist on the standard pint glass characteristics. These glasses beg for a nice pilsner or kolsch, but they hold their own just fine with an IPA or an ESB as well. Versatile, well-made, and attention-grabbing, this set is the perfect gift for all the beer lovers on your list.The Republic of Ireland uses the imperial 20 fl oz pint measure (≈568 ml), [18] where legal metrology marks are used to show that a glass has passed inspection by the National Standards Authority of Ireland, a state-run body which enforces a number of standard rulings. Starting in 2006, the NSAI "pint" mark, a circle featuring two wavy lines, between which "PINT" is written, with a year mark (last two digits), and a three digit batch code either side; has begun to be phased out with a European standard "PINT"/CE logo stamp [ citation needed]. Smaller Pint glasses have been used in pubs and nightclubs though. [ citation needed] In Canada, Federal law mandates a standard imperial pint. [16] However, this law is rarely enforced in some provinces, such as British Columbia, and establishments sometimes sell US pints or other measures as "pints." [17] CAMRA recommends the use of "lined" or "oversized" glasses in pubs. These have a line near the top (usually labelled " PINT TO LINE") to which the beer should be poured, with the head forming above it. In the past a number of breweries supplied these glasses to their pubs; this is now rarely the case, and lined glasses are found mostly at enthusiasts' events such as beer festivals, serious cask ale pubs, and breweries' own bars.

The frothy foam on top of a beer sets it apart from every other beverage on earth. No other drink can maintain a long-lasting head (the technical term for that foam cap), and to put it on display, you definitely have to know how to pour a beer. Beyond showcasing that one-of-a-kind foam layer, drinking beer out of a glass rather than the can or bottle allows you to enjoy all of the tantalizing aromas it has to offer. Pint glass collecting is a way for individuals to commemorate their visits to popular tourist destinations, most notably to microbreweries or sports arenas. These destinations often sell pint glasses adorned with their logos, which are either screen-printed or engraved on the side of the glass. Brewery enthusiasts may travel thousands of miles to see where their favorite beer is made or to sample new local and fresh beers, and collectors often display their collections (which sometimes total in the hundreds) in display cases or on shelves.
