Whether you’re a casual summertime beer sipper or certified craft beer snob, a well-designed beer glass can, in fact, make your beer taste better. It's not just a mental trick: The shape of a beer glass impacts how much foam sits on top and how much aroma hits your schnoz while sipping, both of which can majorly impact how one perceives a beer's flavor. But that's not all a quality beer glass is good for. Helpful features like stems and double-walled insulation keep your brew at an optimal temperature while ensuring that your hands don’t get too cold, and freezable glasses keep beer stay well chilled, a must for hot summer days.

If your mismatched collection of pint glasses collecting dust in the back of a kitchen cabinet isn’t cutting it anymore, consider picking up a brand-new set that better suits your needs. Plus, the next time you have guests over, you can serve beer in glasses instead of a can tucked into a koozie. #adulting

Pros

  • Durable
  • Iconic shape
  • Stackable

Cons

  • May be more glasses than you want or need

The iconic shape (a heavy base and a bulge near the top) is unmistakable and allows for the glasses to be stacked for compact storage. Did we mention they’re dishwasher-safe, too?

A reviewer notes that the Bormioli Rocco Stackable English Pub Beer Pint Glasses, which are sold in a set of 12, are “sturdy, clear, and fit well in your hand.”

    Pros

    • Versatile
    • High quality

    Cons

    • Pricey

    This unique beer glass has been designed to optimize your beer drinking experience. The curved lip encourages the build-up of flavor-enhancing beer foam, while the angled, wide bowl keeps the aromas of your beer inside the glass for an elevated flavor experience. And the stem keeps your beer cold, because no one likes warm beer. The Made In Beer Glass has a five-star rating with more than 2,500 reviews.

    One reviewer sums it up well: “These are very high-quality glasses. I do not know if they actually make the beer taste better, but they certainly make it more fun. I have enjoyed them and get lots of oohs and aahs from my friends."

    Best Insulated Beer Glass

    J.A. Henckels Zwilling Sorrento Double Wall Beer Glasses, Set of 2

    Zwilling Sorrento Double Wall Beer Glasses, Set of 2

    Pros

    • Double-walled design
    • Condensation-free

    Cons

      Stems aren’t the only way to keep your beer from getting warm (or your hands from getting cold). Double-walled glasses also do the trick and they’re easier to hold.

      The Zwilling Sorrento Double Wall Beer Glasses are sold as a set of two and each glass holds about 14 ounces. The glasses are also condensation-free, so you don’t need to worry about using coasters. If you want your beer to be extra cold, a reviewer recommends putting these glasses in the freezer first.
