Commercial Beer Glasses: What You Need to Know
Beer glasses come in a wide array of styles, shapes, and sizes, each with its own purpose. Beer connoisseurs will expect the right type of glass for the drink they've ordered, and running a bar or taproom without having the right glasses on hand can quickly set a bad tone. Commercial beer glasses are necessary for the high-volume use that comes with a foodservice establishment, and operators can buy in bulk to save money over purchasing residential options.
Like all glassware, restaurant beer glasses will suffer from chipping, cracking, and eventual breakage, but if you choose the right option, this damage can be mitigated and your profits maximized. This category contains everything from standard pint glasses to specialty craft beer glasses and growlers, so operators can find everything they need to serve any type of beer.
Common Questions About Beer Glasses
Does the beer glass matter?
This category is so large because it contains all the different craft beer glasses that a restaurant or casual enthusiast might need to enjoy beer to its fullest. However, the difference a glass makes in the actual flavor and quality of beer is negligible; the glass is mostly about presentation. However, presentation is important. If it wasn't, restaurants wouldn't waste money on decorations, servingware, and quality furniture to create an attractive aesthetic; the same is true with your restaurant beer glasses. If every beer you serve comes in the same shape of pint glass, each type doesn't feel as special. However, if you serve your pilsners in pilsner glasses and your Indian pale ales in an IPA glass, your customers will feel as if their order has been taken seriously. Additionally, they'll know they're getting the most authentic experience you can provide.
On the other hand, you may not have room to store dozens of beer glasses for styles you rarely sell. Most restaurants could do with stocking several types of commercial beer glass without trying to have one for every possible style. Consider which types of beer you sell the most of and which ones bring the highest profit margin. Ensure you have the appropriate glass for these options at the very least. Then, browse our collection of beer glasses for sale to see if any others strike you as potentially useful.
Why are beer glasses different?
Some beer glasses are shaped in a certain way to increase the aeration of the beer or to show off the clarity of a beer, but restaurateurs are more concerned with the ways in which a certain style of beer glass can increase sales. While the appropriate style of glass can improve the aesthetics of your restaurant and generate more sales that way, some enable you to simply put new items on your menu. Sample glasses enable you to sell sample flights, which are popular with beer enthusiasts and can entice customers to order full glasses of their favorites. Growlers are a great way to encourage repeat takeout orders of beer, as well, if your license permits.
