Pint glasses are a type of barware which has several variations despite its humble disposition. Pint glasses do come in varying forms, and paradoxically, in different dimensions. Different countries have different pint glasses, and also dependent heavily on the type of brew each glass holds.
The standard or normal pint glass which is sometimes also called a conical, can contain about 10oz of beer and is about 6 inches in berth and expansive at the top. It does however, normally is a bit more slender at the bottom. Other forms of standard pints are stridently arced inwards, either at the top or bottom. One such example would be the famous pint which is shaped like a tulip.
The dimple pint glass or krug, works best for German made beers. This pint resembles the ones seen in old taverns, huge mugs with a stoic handle. The expansive orifice brings about the beer's strong scent, but interestingly enough, the dimples placed on the sides does not permit the drinker from scrutinizing its contents. The dimple pint glass or krugs are made primarily from stoneware or earthenware, and can house up to a full liter of beer.
The imperial print pint glass or 'nonic' can hold about 20 oz of liquids. One distinctive feature of the British imperial pint glass is the curved lip close to the top to help minimize when these glasses are stacked.
Nucleated pint glasses are those which have holes or impressions near the bottom to assist in conserving the poured beer.
Not many people know that the shape of a particular pint glass essentially makes beer taste better, when the oxygenation process takes root, very much like when wines are aerated to enhance taste.
Pints are great additions to your existing barware. Take some time to explore your options before making a purchase, as the choices are endless. You would also want to consider purchasing pint glasses which are durable, especially if you intend to use them while watching an exciting football game.
Inspect your existing glassware collection and find pint glasses to complement them. This way, you won't have to worry about mismatching and making your collection lookoddly placed.
Shop around before making your purchase. Take notes of the ones you do like so you can make comparisons later.
Consider the material that the pint glasses are made from before buying and the reason for the purchase. If they're meant for Sunday afternoons with the guys watching sports, then buy pint glasses made of sturdy material. Pieces that can easily break-off can cause injury to small children. Strong pint glasses can last a longer time so you won't have to waste money replacing them constantly.
Once you have explored all buying options, including make, color, dimension, usage and durability, start purchasing and enjoy them. Remember to wash them in mild detergent and to not leave them with leftover beer overnight. Doing this will not only cause stains to occur, but the lingering taste might still be evident, affecting future pours.
