Product Information

With so many different styles of pint glass available, it can be as simple as choosing the one you like the look of the most to make an excellent gift. However, if you are buying for someone with a favourite tipple, think about purchasing a pint glass that will make their drink look good. Be careful when shopping for imperial pints. Some glass manufactures will consider their product imperial simply because it has a crown printed on it, rather than basing the label on size. If a glass says it holds “20oz” it will be close enough to the standard imperial size. Where can I find a nonic pint glass? I recommend an 8- to 10-ounce, stemmed, chalice-type tulip glass for high-ABV beer,” Bakker says. “Like spirits, beer with a high ABV is best consumed in smaller portions and in glassware designed to capture and maximize the aroma of the product.” For standard-proof beers, a regular, larger glass is completely serviceable.

In the United States, a pint is 16 US fluid ounces (473ml). However, the typical conical "pint" glass holds 16 US fl oz only when filled to its rim with liquid. With a half-inch of foam, the actual liquid fill is roughly 14USfloz (410ml), missing one eighth of its volume. [23] In 2008, some restaurants replaced 16-ounce pint glasses with 14-ounce ones, to which customers objected. [24] In response to this, 2014 legislation in the state of Michigan (known for its craft brewing culture) requires bars to serve 16-ounce pints. [25] Nucleated pint glasses [ edit ] Nucleated base of a pint glass Beer glasses are kind of like house plants—sometimes they are hard to keep alive,” Bakker says. “I recommend looking for glasses that you will be able to clean and maintain. Stemmed glasses and glasses with intricate artwork on them are nice, but always require hand washing versus ease of the dishwasher. Thinner, lighter glasses require a softer touch when cleaning, drying, and storing.” The Nonic Pint Glass's is an improvement over the American pint glass in a few ways.

The Republic of Ireland uses the imperial 20 fl oz pint measure (≈568 ml), [18] where legal metrology marks are used to show that a glass has passed inspection by the National Standards Authority of Ireland, a state-run body which enforces a number of standard rulings. Starting in 2006, the NSAI "pint" mark, a circle featuring two wavy lines, between which "PINT" is written, with a year mark (last two digits), and a three digit batch code either side; has begun to be phased out with a European standard "PINT"/CE logo stamp [ citation needed]. Smaller Pint glasses have been used in pubs and nightclubs though. [ citation needed] Pint glasses became popular in the United Kingdom in the early/mid-20th century, replacing tankards (pewter, ceramic and glass). This change is notably lamented by George Orwell in his 1946 essay " The Moon Under Water". Can-shaped glasses are shaped like a standard beer or beverage can, with straight cylindrical sides and an inverted lip. They are less prone to tipping over than a conical glass, and without the need for a heavy base for stability, they are around 40% lighter. In Canada, Federal law mandates a standard imperial pint. [16] However, this law is rarely enforced in some provinces, such as British Columbia, and establishments sometimes sell US pints or other measures as "pints." [17]
