Glass type for beer

[Mastoras007]

Hello everyone
I want to buy some glasses (400ml) and print the logo of brewery on it, will give those glasses for serving my beer on different business, restaurant, bars etc
Whats the safest style to choose?
Thinking of something like those

I would just get 5 of each for starters. You’ll always need more pint glasses.

Classic pint glass is cheap, sturdy and useful for all beers. I personally prefer the third option you show because it's a little more classy.
You'd be well advised to get started with a company that can quickly supply a few hundred and then re-order as your supplies are depleted.

Agreed, third option is best. Never option 1

I vote for option 2
I have some of those and they make a pretty pour and if it's done right the foam fills the bulb then is squeezed above it to enhance the aroma

2nd choice is #3 it has a similar effect

#1 is to open at the top and let's the head drop out to quickly

I've bought all 3 and the strongest is #1, #2 is my favorite but the glass is thin on all I've bought and most have broke

@Mastoras007 is asking advice for a commercial, brewery-type glass for purposes of advertising and using in a bar/brewery environment. As much as the thinner, finer-shaped glasses are nice to drink out of and are what we prefer at home, the heavy-duty standard pint glass is by far the most common in that role.
Not only that but that basic style can be had from just about any supplier whereas the others are a little harder to source. I know that from experience because it took forever for me to find Willi Becher-style pub glasses like the 3rd option when I wanted to replace some that I really liked.

None of the craft breweries in my area that I frequent use shaker pints anymore. It's a terrible glass shape for enjoying beer

Glass breakage should be assumed. That's why you order in bulk.

 

[Brew Cat]

I agree shaker pints may break less but I'm always disappointed when I'm served a beer in them. Not the best way to present your beer
I'd rather be served a beer in a nice glass without a logo. Get the shakers with the logo to sell if you want but don't really serve your beer in them. I've seen this done at a few breweries. I actually have a collection of brewery logo shaker pints I use as water tumblers

yeah I never put beer in mine either LOL

Option 3 would be more or less standard here and I like the glass as well.
But I think you should ask your target group (Greek beer drinkers) what they think and like.

Note that engraved glasses tend to disappear....

That^^^

Theanks for your help
Probably I wil go for option 3
Option 1 is cheaper and stronger as glass
Option 2 is not what I like but I see it many times in American movies (screens that include drink beer in pubs) 3 it's fine

I use libbey 183 glasses. they are fairly tough and good looking.

Also remember that glasses that have your logo will get stolen. so factor that in. That being said, branding is important. It is likely worth while to have it look cool. maybe think about a full glass print or something to stand out. You should also consider the color options to stand out from the other local beer options.

even if you print a line drawn map or hop vines or something it will be eye catching and look different then just a gold rim and logo.

Of the 3 you posted i would def go with number 3. I also have a 10 oz snifter and sample glasses that we use for flights.

look at your price break volumes and shoot for that.

You can also look at co branding with your local bar or bars as an option(so thier name plus yours and maybe a unique design) they would need to agree to buy a certain amount of kegs obviously. but you can get a small run of glasses made just for them.

Just my $0.02, but do you care if they nest to save space? Nos. 1&2 will fit inside each other but not sure about no. 3. Just something to consider.

About half the brewers here in Northwest Arkansas have multiple glassware styles to align with beer styles. In UK & Europe I would say that every brewery taproom and bar only serve in glasses specific to a brewery and their specific beer. IMO most customers won't know the difference, but there are those that do care about what you do. And, as you can see from my photo, everyone uses a stein for serving a full liter!
