Beer glasses

What shape of beer glass do you prefer? In England, where the standard measure is still a pint, the basic options are a "jug"(a dimpled glass with a handle) or a "straight" (a tall glass without a handle). When I started drinking beer, nearly 60 years ago, jugs were normal, but in some areas you could also get a straight - though where I lived they were called "sleevers". I chose straights when I could, and gradually they seemed to become standard. But jugs are making a comeback. Today, in a pub by the Thames after a walk, I was offered a choice and found myself asking for a jug. I'm now on my third pint!

Do others have preferences? What are the options in other countries?

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.

@BrewCityBarfly You must have a pocket calculator (especially when you go into a bar) 😏
