It is much more enjoyable to drink good beer from a suitable mug or glass than from a bottle. Choosing a good container for a frothy drink is quite simple, if you pay attention to some important nuances.
Shape and size
First of all, decide on the correct size of the beer glass. The size of a mug or glass can vary greatly - from very small containers with a volume of 220 ml to huge liter mugs. If you drink beer from time to time and do not tolerate large doses of alcohol, you can choose small, neat glasses, if you often host guests, host beer parties, 500 ml glasses or mugs will suit you, which is an excellent golden mean. It is better to give huge containers for beer as souvenirs to friends and acquaintances, since they are not very practical.
Next, you need to decide whether you want to buy glasses or mugs. Glasses are good because you can drink not only beer from them, they are also suitable for all kinds of cocktails, and it is customary to drink only beer from mugs, moreover, they are equipped with handles. The choice between these types depends only on your preferences.
Glass quality
Pay attention to the quality of the material from which the beer vessels are made. Higher-quality glass is not always more expensive, since the popularity of the manufacturing company influences the cost of glasses and mugs to a very large extent. When you buy a glass of a well-known brand, you pay a rather large amount for the brand. Of course, branded glasses seem more attractive, but if you don't want to overpay, you should forget about them. It is better to pay attention to the products of less popular brands, the main thing is to examine them for small cracks, abrasions, turbidity, microscopic bubbles. Their absence speaks of the good quality of the glass, so you can buy quite decent glasses for little money.
To choose the right vessel for beer, it is best to listen to your feelings. If possible, hold a glass or mug in your hands, twirl it. If it is comfortable for you to hold the container in your hand, its surface gives a pleasant sensation, most likely this option is right for you. The glass or mug should not slip in your hand. Choose practical and comfortable glasses if you intend to use them for their intended purpose, and not just put them on the shelf in the beauty parlor and forget.
Beer mugs and glasses can be bought at almost any glassware or gift shop, but it is better to go to a specialized store where you can choose the perfect glass or mug from a wide range of options and get professional advice.
