Beer Glassware Guide: Pint Glasses

Content from the Beer Glasses page at Beer Geek Shop.

Probably the most popular beer glasses out there are Pint Glasses.  They come in two sizes; American (16 ounces) or British/Imperial (20 ounces).  These can be flat-walled or curved.

For home use we prefer the Nonic glass or the Imperial Pint Glass, but for commercial use, most bars prefer thick walled mixer glasses because they are harder to break.
