Beer Glasses

Branded beer glasses here are mostly clear glass, with tempered and nucleated versions where a venue wants extra toughness or livelier bubbles in the pour.

• Schooners and Middies: Conical, curved and straight tapered profiles with beaded rims that resist chipping and W&M certified volumes.
• Pints: Straight, curved and nonic shapes, the nonic with a bulged rim for a surer grip, plus tempered and nucleated options.
• Pilsners and Stemware: Tall tapered pilsners, footed glasses, goblets and teardrop bowls, some backed by Libbey rim guarantees.
• Mugs and Tankards: Handled glass mugs, stein style panelled mugs and squared grip tankards, up to a super sized mug.
• Tasters: Small sampler and taster glasses in pilsner, Belgian and slugger shapes.

A beer glass handed out at a not-for-profit's trivia fundraiser isn't a throwaway cup for one night. For the volunteers and regulars who take one home, it becomes the schooner they reach for when mates come over, still holding a cold one years later. For outdoor events where glass won't work, have a look at polycarbonate glasses instead.

Most styles can be printed or etched, and printed beer glasses come out of the dishwasher looking the same as they went in. On nucleated pints the etched pattern sits in the base, well clear of the artwork on your custom beer glasses.

Common Questions

Why do branded beer glasses suit brewery tours and members clubs?
Regulars on a brewery tour or in a members club take home a glass they'll pour their favourite drop into. A tulip or teardrop glass shows off colour and aroma whenever they open a new release.

Which beer glass is best for a pub's front bar?
Tempered conical schooners and nonic pints suit a busy front bar, since they're toughened and W&M certified for legal pours. Bar staff stack and wash them all shift, and the beaded or bulged rims handle the knocks.

Do footed glasses work for a wedding or function venue?
They do, with guests raising a footed pilsner or goblet for the speeches instead of a plain tumbler. The wide foot keeps the glass steady on a crowded table right through a long reception.

What should a sports club give its long serving volunteers?
A heavy glass tankard or handled beer mug works well, because the volunteer gets something solid to keep on the shelf at home. Stein style panelled mugs feel like a proper presentation piece when handed over at the annual dinner.
