Beer drinkers around the globe have celebrated the art of beer drinking with this special glass! In 17th century England, skilled glassblowers displayed their talents by producing these beautiful and exotic ‘Long Glasses’, also known as ‘Ell Glasses’. They were often used in pub contests, during special occasions or to give a toast.

Assorted shapes and sizes have been produced over the years and around the world. Some of the longest glasses made were nearly one yard in height. Eventually, this glass style became known as the ‘Yard’ and its size was measured in this way.

The impractical shape and rounded bottom creates the challenge for the seasoned beer drinker who must finish the entire glass once it has been raised. The drinker is ultimately successful when they avoid becoming drenched by the final rush of beer at the bottom of the yard! This whimsical glass features a wooden stand and is truly a wonderful piece of beer culture.

Many ales and lagers can be served from this elegant and slightly taller pub glass. It has a generous 20oz volume and a more slender form which enhances aroma. This shape is not only great for lighter and more delicate beers but also for more flavorful English and Irish Stouts.

Take beer tasting to a whole new level at your home, bar or restaurant with a professional wood serving flight! This wooden board accommodates 4 tasting glasses and fits glassware with a base diameter of up to 2.25in (57mm).

This exquisite glass is designed to serve the delicious wheat beers of Germany known as Weizen or Weissbier. In addition to simply being beautiful, the form of the glass is particularly suited to this style and other effervescent beers.

The height of the glass preserves the higher levels of carbonation found in these styles and a slender base enhances the subtle color. Finally, the top of the glass is wide and curves inward to contain the large, fluffy head and to release the lively, delicate aromas. This glass is also great for serving draft beer and many other bubbly beers with a light or delicate character.
