Beer 101 - Beer Glassware - Pint Glass
When I think about going out and getting a nice cold-one, I always picture it in a pint glass. In my mind, the pint glass is the most universal of all beer glasses. Almost every bar I’ve been in….actually ever bar I’ve been in uses a pint glass to serve their beer in it.
