Beer Tats Willi Becher Beer Glasses

Set of 4 Willi Becher Glasses

The Willi Becher is a German variant of the classic pub glass which is differentiated by a slight taper at the mouth. The taper was added to hold the aroma of the often more fragrant German beers; another fine example of German engineering. As a result this glass is one the most popular styles in Germany. If you enjoy stouts and porters, this glass makes a fine choice. Like our Classic Pub glass, our Willi Becher is made of brilliantly clear glass with a thick sham. In America you'll likely find these glasses in the more distinctive brewpubs and beer bars.

Available in Sets of 4 in 1 size; 16 3/4 oz.

Beer Tats Classic Beer Mugs

Set of 4 Traditional Beer Mugs

Ah yes, the beer mug, as true american classic. Unlike our beer glasses, each designed for a specific beer style, the beer mug was design with the drinker in mind. The handle serves a dual purpose. First, usability... easy to kick back and perfect for toasting. This is why the mug, or krug, is vessel of choice at Germany's Oktoberfest. Second, the handle serves the same purpose as a wine stem; it allows the glass to be handled without warming the beverage. The thick base and heavy weight of our mugs further help to maintain the perfect temperature of any beer. Let's face it, is there anything better than a frosty mug of your favorite brew? And yes, you can keep our mugs in your freezer. Prost!

Available in Sets of 4 in 2 sizes; 13 1/4 oz. and 16 3/4 oz.

Beer Tats Pub Glasses

Set of 4 Classic Pub Glasses

The classic pub glass is ubiquitous across America. Its history can be traced back to Nineteenth Century England where the Imperial Gallon was established as the standard for liquid measure. Subsequently it became law that all beer be sold in Imperial Pints (1/8 of an Imperial Gallon, about 20 ounces). To adhere to the law, pubs procured certified pint glasses and the classic pub glass shape was born. In the U.S. there is no such law and our pints are the more widely accepted 16 ounces, however the classic shape lives on. Partly because they are economical to make and partly because they are great to kick back. Our Classic Pub glasses are brilliantly clear to show off the finest brews. The heavy weight and thick base serves to keep your beer cool. Though the shape is familiar, you won't find these glasses in most pubs.

Available in Sets of 4 in 2 sizes; 14 oz. and 18 oz.

Beer Tats Wheat Beer Glass

Set of 4 Wheat Beer Glasses

Similar to a pilsner glass but with a slightly rounded top to capture the aromas and frothy heads that come with true wheat beers. In Germany they are known as weisbiers, hefeweizens or simply weizens. In Belgium you’ll find witbeirs commonly brewed with and a hint of corriander and orange. Stonger varieties include dunkelweizen and weizenbock. On the extreme side, you can try sour beers such as Belgium lambics or the famous Berliner weisse. You’ll find all kinds of variations in names, especially with American brewers. What they all have in common is a significant proportion of wheat to barley malts, creating a light, top-fermenting beer that is served up perfectly in our Wheat Beer glasses.

Available in Sets of 4 in 2 sizes; 12 oz. and 16 oz.

Set of 4 American Beer Wagon Mugs

We tried to find out the origins of this style of mug but alas we failed. If anyone knows, please drop us a note. The "beer wagon" was the mode of transportation of the kegs that built a nation. Perhpas the wide facets along the base is an ode to the planks that sided the wagons. Regardless this superb, durable mug makes quite an impression. The extra large handle will accommodate most human fists and, as with our Traditional Mug, the thick base and heavy weight help to maintain the perfect temperature of any beer. Our 1 Liter version is an American alternative to the traditional Mass Krug, a 1 liter mug made famous by the German Oktoberfest. Prost!

Available in Sets of 4 in 1 size; 20 oz.

Beer Tats Pilsner Glasses

Set of 4 Pilsner Glasses

Pilsner, the first lager beer, was develop the Czech Republic. Lager is German for “storage”, and refers to the technique of fermenting beer in a cool, dark place with bottom-fermenting yeast. American lagers and the traditional Oktoberfest marzen are other examples. German bocks, including maibock, hellesbock, dopplebock and eisbock, are stronger varieties. Whichever your choice, the tall, slender shape showcases the golden hues and effervescence found in all lagers. The conical shape provides for a smooth pour, both in and out, that lends itself nicely to the inherent drinkability of these beers. While the wide mouth serves to capture a rich head.

Available in Sets of 4 in 1 size; 13 1/2 oz.

Beer Tats Ale Glasses

Set of 4 Ale Glasses

Ale is a broad classification of beers that are brewed from malted barley and fermetered with yeast at wamer temperaturers than lagers. To balance the sweetness of the malt, hops are generally added in varying degrees from lightly hopped brown ales to the extreme hoppiness of American style India Pale Ales. Whether you prefer Belgian or Scotch, light or large, strong or mild, this glass delivers. Designed for optimum enjoyment, the stem keeps the beer cool, the wide body contains the volatiles to lock in the flavor, and the flared rim releases the aromas while capturing the head; quite possibly the perfect beer glass.

Available in Sets of 4 in 2 sizes; 12 1/2 oz. and 16 1/2 oz.
