Beer remains one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world. It can be found everywhere from parties, to bars, to picnics, to sporting events. There are lagers, ales, porters, dark beer, light beer, and everything in between. No matter what your taste in types of beer, chances are that you prefer to have it in a mug. Beer in a mug always seems to taste better, whether the beer came from the tap, is poured from a bottle, or even from a can. Having a frosty mug in front of you makes the beer all the more appealing.

When we use the word “beer mug,” we can actually be talking about several different types of receptacles. The first thing that comes to mind is the actual mug, which is a straight glass with a handle on the side. This comes from the German beer steins, which often came with a top that could be opened with the flick of your thumb. The steins came in many different styles. Some were plain and unadorned, some were extremely decorative, having bright colors painted on, family name or crest, or even specialized metal work. A richly decorated stein was a status symbol, showing you to be a person of means.

The pilsner glass is a little bit different. It is a relatively small glass that can have a short stem. The glass is usually thin, often having differing widths along its height. The pilsner glass is usually used to serve lighter beers. The thinness of the glass keeps the carbonation in longer, allowing you to take your time drinking it before it goes flat.

The pint glass is another popular mug. It is larger than the pilsner glass. It is named after its size, holding either an American pint or a British pint (which is a bit larger). The pint glass can be a simply conical shape, where the top rim is wider than the base. A jug style pint glass is different than the conical style. It has dimples in the glass and usually comes with a handle. The size is the same, but the shape is different. The rim is the same width as the base. These glasses are usually used for lagers and other types of darker beer. These beer styles have less carbonation and are not too far from flat when served.

The wheat beer glass is easy to pick out of a lineup. This glass has a narrow base and a wider top, with an hourglass type shape in the middle. The slender part of the glass is perfect for holding. The glass is designed to leave a “head” on the beer, which is the layer of foam on top when the beer is poured. These glasses are usually used for wheat beers, also called “weizens.”

No matter what type of beer you prefer, it is usually better in a mug. Whether you are a light beer, dark beer, or wheat beer fan, there is a mug that is perfect for you.
