Beer glasses

 

— glasses are mainly used for beer; relatively few glasses of this purpose are produced. On the other hand, technically, many "glasses" are more like glasses — they have even walls and differ only in large sizes. It just so happened historically that beer vessels of 0.5 liters or more are usually called glasses.

Dishes of this type can have a fairly large capacity — 0.3 liters is considered a minimum, but options for more than 0.5 liters are not uncommon. In addition to glasses and the “glass-glasses” mentioned above, two more main types of beer glassware can be distinguished. The first is glasses in the form of mugs with thick walls and a handle on the side; they are considered traditional for pubs and similarly styled establishments. The second — glasses on a thin, but short leg with a stand; such dishes look more elegant and are better suited for "classic" restaurants and cafes.
