This iconic German mug is also sometimes referred to as a seidel. Featuring intricate designs with references to Germany and Bavaria, the beer stein is largely a decorative piece. These collectible stein mugs are made from materials like porcelain, pewter, stoneware, and silver. A defining characteristic of the beer stein is the hinged pewter lid that covers the top of the mug and includes a thumb lever so that it can be opened with one hand. You can serve beer in these mugs, but they make a better souvenir than a drinking glass.�

The stange glass (or stangen glass) is also commonly referred to as a strange glass, stick glass, pole glass or rod glass. This type of beer glass is named this because �stange� is the German word for rod� and that�s exactly what it resembles. The stange glass is tall and slender. It�s easily the most boring looking beer glass on this list, but its use can be traced back for decades. No beer glass list is complete without the stange.

Designed by brewers Lorenzo �Kuaska� Dabove and Teo Musso, the glass was initially designed to be the beer equivalent of the ISO, a universal wine tasting glass used by professional wine tasters. And that�s just what it achieves: the 14.2-ounce glass showcases the full flavors and aromas of each beer. A tiny lip that curves outward lets beer roll from the glass right onto your palette. Plus, the wine glass-stem lets you hold your beer without your hands warming up the drink.�

Goblets are large bowl-shaped glasses with thick stems designed for sipping and savoring beers with high alcohol content. The goblet glass is meant to look elegant, but it also has features that enhance certain types of beer. Etching on the inside bottom of the glass, also called nucleation, forces carbonation upward and helps to maintain the effervescence of the beer. The goblet works well with Belgian ales, sour ales, saisons, farmhouse ales, and barleywines.�

The Imperial pint, also known as an English pub glass or nonic pint, is the standard pint glass used in the UK. Similar to an American pint glass, the nonic glass features a bulge near the lip of the glass. The unique shape of the glass adds to its structural durability and makes it less likely to be nicked or chipped than a straight-sided glass. It also fits comfortably in the hand and stacks well. Like its American cousin, the nonic glass is generally used as a multipurpose glass, but some say that the curvature of the glass is best suited to ales and stouts.

The stout glass is yet another specialized glass, designed to complement the dark, roasted flavor and creamy mouthfeel of stout beers. At first glance it may look similar to the IPA glass, but there are some key differences. The bowl of the stout glass is slightly wider at the base with a sharper curvature to deliver the rich, toasted aromatics to your nose as you sip. A shelf-like shape encourages a cascade of sinking bubbles and the hollow base helps retain carbonation and a frothy head.

Goblets are one of the larger, more extravagant types of glassware that beer drinkers come across. Unlike pint glasses that hold a specified amount of liquid, goblets can be found in a variety of sizes. Goblets can be described as having a long thick stem, with a bowl sitting on top. Chalices are great choices for heavy, malty beers, such as Belgian ales and German Bocks. This type of glassware has a wide opening that assists a beer drinker in analyzing the overall flavor profile and aromas. �
