The beer snifter is a large bulbous stemmed glass that is shaped to concentrate the aromas of your beer or ale and direct them towards the nose. The original motivation for the glass was to reduce breakage when stacking (40% greater crushing strength and curved surface where rim touches), reduce breakage when tipped over (due to the bulge protecting the rim from impact), improve grip, and facilitate cleaning (due to shallow curves, compared to more severe curves).While it is a much more satisfying experience to clink glass pint glasses together rather than ceramic or pewter tankards, the exact origins of this tradition have been lost in history. A perfect all-rounder for draught beer service, highball glasses are easier to produce, making them cheaper to replace and easier to fit in glass washers and glass storage crates. Several County Councils in the north of England have been in the habit of allowing the makers to have the glasses stamped, under supervision of Council officials, on their own premises.

Two classic tulip lager glasses, one from Carlsberg of the sort that John Mills lusted for in the film Ice Cold in Alex from 1958 (although in the book the film was based on, the beer in Alexandria was Rheingold from New York …) and the other from Barclay Perkins, once one of London’s biggest lager brewers. They’ve got the capacity and shape you like, plus they’re sturdy enough to survive even the clumsiest of husbands. My husband has a beer glass that tapers out, has 16 ‘grooves’ from the bottom to just over half way up then it’s smooth.
