Types of beer glasses and mugs

  • Pub and nonic glasses – 16 to 20 oz straight-sided and bulged-rim glasses like Libbey English Pub and Arcoroc Pub Nonic for imperial pints.
  • Mixing (shaker) pints – Libbey, Arcoroc and Pasabahce mixing glasses that serve as everyday pints and cocktail mixing glasses.
  • Pilsner glasses – tall flared, hourglass and stemmed pilsners that show off colour and carbonation in lagers.
  • Footed and specialty beer glasses – Libbey Embassy, Teardrop and Altitude shapes for craft and import pours.
  • Beer mugs – heavy handled mugs from 10 to 34 oz that keep hands off the glass and the beer colder longer.
  • Plastic pints – Carlisle Alibi pilsners for patios and events where glass isn't allowed.

What to consider when choosing beer glasses

  • Pour size – match glass capacity to the pour on your menu (for example 16 vs. 20 oz) and leave room for a head.
  • Fill lines – some glasses come with a pour or "panic" line, which helps staff pour consistently.
  • Durability – heavy bases and nonic bulges help resist chipping in high-volume bars.
  • Stacking – stacking mixing glasses save space but should be dried fully to avoid sticking.
  • Washing – use glass racks sized to your glass height and a dedicated, rinse-aid-correct cycle for beer-clean glassware that holds a proper head.

Frequently asked questions

How big is a pint glass in Canada?

An imperial pint is 20 imperial fluid ounces (about 568 mL). Many bars use 16 oz glasses for a "sleeve" or US-style pint, so state the size you serve on your menu.

What's a nonic glass?

A nonic has a bulge near the rim that improves grip, helps glasses stack without sticking and protects the rim from chipping.

Why does my beer go flat quickly in some glasses?

Grease, detergent or rinse-aid residue kills head retention. Wash beer glasses separately from greasy dishware and rinse thoroughly.
