Top Four Fun Beer Glasses
Beer glasses like wine glasses and other glassware items come in many different shapes and sizes to accommodate the type of beer and beer drinker. There are pint glasses, beer tankards, beer mugs, beer steins and Pilsner glasses all designed to cater to certain kinds of beer and beer drinkers. While Pilsner glasses and pint glasses are designed for certain beers, some beer glasses are designed simply for the sake of being fun. From boot shaped beer glasses to over-sized glasses these drinkware items truly represent the fun and leisure that makes beer drinking so popular. Here is a list of the top four fun beer glass designs based on creativity and popularity.
# 1 Boot Glass Mugs – These are by far the most popular fun beer glasses. These beer glasses are shaped like a boot and have over-sized liquid storage capabilities that make them fun in any beer drinking setting. Bars and restaurants use these beer glasses frequently because of their unique design and fun appeal. The boot shape makes drinking beer fun and these glasses range in size from standard pint sized glasses to over-sized beer glasses.
#2 Over-sized Beer Mugs – The standard beer mug holds around a pint of beer which is sixteen ounces. A fun way to mix up any barware collection is to offer an incredibly large beer mug like the 34 ounce Libbey Sports Beer Mug. Thirty-four ounces is a good amount to serve being that you don’t want to serve customers too much beer and anything over 34 ounces may be difficult to carry and drink.
#3 Sports Beer Mugs – I know what you’re thinking, there’s nothing special about sports beer mugs. However, sports beer mugs like the 23 ounce Libbey Football Tumbler Beer Glasses and the 16 ounce Clubhouse Collection Baseball Pilsner Glass have designs and shapes like the balls in their respective sports. The 23 ounce Libbey Footabll Tumbler Beer Glass is shaped like a giant football with laces on the side and the 16 ounce Libbey Clubhouse Collection Baseball Pilsner Glass has a baseball shape at the base of the glass.
#4 Beer Steins – Beer Steins are mostly made of ceramic or plastic but also come in glass. Glass beer steins have classic designs which is great for anyone who enjoys traditional beer drinking. Ceramic beer steins can have colorful designs and are great items to have at a bar or restaurant that serves foreign beer, especially from Germany.

Types of Glassware Needed for Bar or Restaurant
Read more..So you always wanted to open up a bar or restaurant but had no idea you would need so much stuff. We at DiscountMugs can’t help you out with your furnishing or interior design but we certainly can help you find the right glassware items. Obviously the type of glassware you choose will depend largely on the establishment you decide to use them in. If you’re opening up a bar, there are standard glassware items you’ll need and more niche types of glassware you’ll want to impress your patrons. If you’re opening up a restaurant the glassware items you’ll use will depend on the type of drinks you’ll be serving. You can also choose to get these items customized with your restaurant or bar logo on them or get the glassware blank for a more subtle approach.
Bar ownership is a colorful and fun endeavor, but getting all the personalized glassware items can be hectic so be sure to get the right type and quantity of glassware items. First of all, you’re going to want get standard drinking glasses to give your patrons the option of drinking non-alcoholic beverages. Drinking glasses range in size but the average glass should be around twelve-to-fifteen-ounces. Next you’ll want to get the always classic conical pint glasses; the standard pint is sixteen fluid ouches so be sure to get a sixteen ounce glass if you’re going to be serving it as an official “pint glass”. A pint glass can be used to serve many different types of beer but is best served with Ales and darker beers.
The next type of glass you’ll want to get for your bar is the Pilsner Glass; this glass is long and slender and ranges in size. The Pilsner glass is used to serve Pilsner beer which is a pale lager that continues to grow in popularity in the United States. Many avid beer drinkers prefer to drink Pilsner beer in a Pilsner Glass, so having them available is a good way to impress your clientele. In terms of liquor glasses, most bars have cocktail glasses and shot glasses available for customers as well. While many bars stop at several different types of glasses, other glasses that can be used to further impress your customers like beer steins, wheat beer glasses, yard glasses, beer boot glasses and stemware.
Restaurants are not that different when it comes to glassware items, but depending on the restaurant, you’ll want to focus more on the stemware and cocktail glasses than the beer and shot glasses. Stemware items vary in style but include categories like wine glasses, brandy snifters, champagne flutes and goblets. Make sure you have both white and red wine glasses as wine drinkers are particular about their glassware. Also if you’re serving brandy, be sure to have brandy snifters as they are very distinct glasses that add a high level of formality and class to your establishment. The cocktail glass also has a very distinct shape and is used to serve popular drinks like martinis, daiquiris and margaritas. Restaurants must also supply standard glassware items like drinking glasses for non-alcoholic beverages like soda, juice and water.

Three Keys to Hosting a Successful Low-Cost Wine or Beer Tasting

Beer Mug
Some of the latest growing trends in corporate promotional events are beer and wine tastings. Beer and wine drinking customs are becoming ingrained in our society and more and more people are looking to share their knowledge and passion for wine and beer with like-minded individuals. This creates a great opportunity for businesses and organizations to promote their interests through wine and beer tasting events. Whether you run a restaurant or a small insurance business beer and wine tastings are great low-cost ways to get the locals familiar with your company. In tough economic times, consumers respect any company willing to let them enjoy themselves at little or no cost. However, there are three key factors to throwing a successful beer and wine tasting event and those are: promotion, expertise and ambiance.
1. Promotion is vitally important for any beer or wine tasting event, after all that is the entire purpose of holding the event. One must not only promote the event itself but also the company hosting the event. A great way to ensure a quality turnout at the event is to invite your existing clients who will undoubtedly tell their wine and beer-loving friends, thus starting a “word of mouth” campaign. When you have acquired enough attendees at the event it’s important that they receive the promotional message behind the event with subtlety so they are not put off by blatant promotion. A great way to achieve this is to use promotional drinkware items like custom beer mugs or personalized wine glasses that have your company logo on them. These items are much more affordable then you may think as long as you use the right company for promotional products. Banners and posters work well to remind guests who the hosts of the event are along with promotional gift that can be given to each attendee. Be sure to include literature in your promotional gift set so those interested can get a more in-depth look at your company.
2. Expertise is particularly important for your target demographic which includes wine and beer aficionados. You can either hire a wine or beer expert, but many times it’s easy to get them free-of-charge. Wine experts interested in selling their wine will sometimes provide different kinds of wine and be present at the event to discuss and provide information on how the wine is made. Beer tastings are similar and all you need to do to acquire an expert is allow a microbrewery to sell their beer at your event. Of course it’s helpful if the host is knowledgeable of beer or wine so they can establish contact with the guests. The internet is the best place to learn about beer and wine and here are links to the top beer blog and top wine blog.
3. The final step is ambiance, this should not be overlooked as a large part of your guests experiences will be in-part to the quality of the setting itself. Be sure to spruce-up your event with decorations that can be associated with either wine or beer. Wine events usually have formal settings with elegant decorations, while beer tasting events can be more casual with laid-back decorations. It may be worth the extra money to rent a showroom if your location doesn’t have adequate space or the ideal style for the event.
Wine and beer tastings are low-cost ways to promote your business. And with so many cheap resources available to host these events, one could easily have monthly or quarterly wine or beer tastings. The sophisticated nature of wine and beer tastings lends itself well to corporate promotion. There are no businesses too big or too small to benefit from promotional marketing events like beer and wine tastings. These events are perfect ways to strengthen ties with existing customers while creating a more approachable company reputation. The idea behind hosting a promotional event like this is to make clients and potential customers associate the quality of your promotional event with the quality of your company. So don’t miss this great opportunity to improve your company’s customer relations and client base.
