Beer glasses What shape of beer glass do you prefer? In England, where the standard measure is...

I always liked the look of a straight glass--the inverted cone with no curves--because the comic strip Andy Capp featured them. On a visit to England I bought a couple jugs but nowadays I can't easily lift that thick, pint-full glass without a block-and-tackle. I like the small pilsner glasses too, but don't see them as often anymore here in the states. Had my first age-questionable bar beer out of one. Nostalgia.

We took a tour of the Guinness brewery in Dublin some years ago, and they served us pints in these glasses:

I like a pint glass. Have you heard of a yard of ale?

I have noticed that, unless one specifies otherwise, beer will come in a glass labelled with type of beer.
On the rare occasions that I drink beer, I prefer to ask for a half pint glass with a handle so that any overflow or spillage carrying it, will not give me sticky fingers !

I'd prefer the simple German "Willi Becher":

Simple but perfect 👍🏼

I don't go into pubs very often, but I always preferred a straight glass. I think it was maybe a class thing. A jug was always rejected.

As long as drinking beer, no real preference to the type of glass, it is nice though to drink out of own brewery glasses

I like both. Bars here in LA don't have jugs but I have them at home. The standard 20ish ounce pint glass has shrunk to a similar looking 14 ounce glass.

I have always preferred straight glasses - it's like the difference between drinking tea out of fine china or earthenware mugs

I've become fond of Belgian beer glasses, they're pert and I like to pour myself a second glass!

I haven't seen a jug in a very long time!

Straight glass like the one in the gifts here

Jugs are too heavy. I like a tulip!

Usually pint and pilsner. We figured out that at one local dive bar, the pilsner was the best value for tap beer. It held 12 oz and came to ~.125 cents per oz. A pint held 16 oz, and cost a buck more which equated to around ~.156 cents per oz.
