Beer Glasses

Beer Glasses are essential for serving draught and bottled beer with the right head, aroma and presentation in busy Irish pubs, hotels and event venues. This range covers classic conical and nonic pint glasses, tall pilsner styles, tulip and stemmed beer glasses, as well as disposable and polystyrene options for high-volume or outdoor service. Designed for commercial bar use, these glasses support consistent measures, bright clarity and reliable head retention. Toughened and nucleated options help improve durability, reduce breakages and keep service fast and efficient.

• Classic conical, nonic and tulip pint glasses for everyday draught service.
• Stemmed and chalice beer glasses for premium and speciality beers.
• Tall pilsner and can-style beer glasses to showcase lagers and craft pours.
• CE and UKCA marked beer glasses suitable for legal measures where required.
• Toughened and nucleated bases on selected models for durability and foam stability.
• Disposable and polystyrene pint glasses for festivals, outdoor bars and events.

How to choose the right Beer Glasses

• Match glass capacity to your beer lines and serve sizes, from half pints to full pints and schooners.
• Select styles to suit your offer: conical and nonic for ales, pilsner for lagers, and stemmed or chalice glasses for premium beers.
• Consider toughened or polystyrene options for busy bars, outdoor terraces and event sites where breakage risk is higher.
• Check for CE or UKCA marked glasses if you need to comply with legal measures on draught service.
• Plan storage with compatible glass racks and drip trays to keep your bar organised and speed up turnaround.
• Balance aesthetics and practicality so your glassware complements your brand while standing up to heavy use.

Care and maintenance

• Use a dedicated glasswasher with approved detergents to avoid residues that can affect head retention.
• Rinse glasses with fresh cold water before service to improve foam and presentation.
• Inspect rims and bodies regularly, removing any chipped or cracked glasses from service immediately.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals that can scratch the glass and dull clarity.
• Allow glasses to air dry on suitable racks rather than polishing, reducing lint and contamination.
• Rotate stock so older glasses are used first, helping to maintain a consistent, presentable range.
