Pilsner Glasses

Pilsner glasses get their name from Pilsner Urquell beer and the Czech town it is brewed in: Plzen. Known for their classy look, Pilsner glasses are different in shape and size than other beer glasses (such as steins, mugs or pint glasses). Pilsner glasses tend to have a fluted, tapered shape, that end in a short neck at the bottom. They are also a bit smaller than a typical 16-ounce pint glass.

What's so great about a glass?

Not only do Pilsner glasses show off clear, sparkling beer, but the shape of them also allows for a generous head of foam-just the way a Pilsner beer is intended to be poured.

Pilsner glasses are also perfect for entertaining. Rather than use an oversized beer mug, try a Pilsner glass. Not only will it look nicer, but it will reflect well on your part! And since Pilsner glasses come in smaller sizes, try a 10-ounce glass if you're having a simple get together.

With or without you

Pilsner glasses that are sold by Pilsner Urquell often feature the Pilsner logo (the brand name written in green with the red round symbol). But the options, really, are limitless. Look for a clear glass with no logos or markings, one with a favorite team, school, or mascot, or some other fun, imaginative design.

It's all about quality

The range in price and quality of Pilsner glasses is enormous. You'll be surprised at how many different kinds of companies make these types of glasses! Whether you look in upscale department stores or at your local thrift store, you're sure to find something within your budget.

Give the gift that keeps on giving

Pilsner glasses usually come in sets of four, and make excellent gifts. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, wedding, or anniversary, Pilsner glasses are both practical and elegant. You can even have your Pilsner glasses engraved- the perfect way to personalize your gift.

A collector's dream

If you are a beer connoisseur or a collector of paraphernalia, unique Pilsner glasses must certainly be on your list! With so many distinct, antique glasses, Pilsner glasses make collecting fun and worthwhile. Even if you don't drink beer, you can still enjoy glasses with logos from around the world.
