A popular party glass, the German Beer Boot or Bierstiefel in Germany, has been popularised in recent years by the movie Beerfest where it is called "Das Boot", but it is thought to have its origins in the military. A tip for drinking from a beer boot is to keep the toe pointed down - when pointed up, air will enter the toe and the contents will rush out, more often than not soaking the drinker. It is the latest step in a multi-million pound rebrand from Coors Light to Coors which will see Coors’ on-trade customers also receive brand new point-of-sale (POS) kits and plaques, alongside the glassware, to boost visibility at the bar. The new dispense plaque features a 3D design showing a hologram-like Coors logo and mountain icon.

The term pokal glass is often used to describe a variety of stemmed beer glasses, however true pokal beer glass is by a tall bowl situated on a short stem. A European pokal glass has a very defined base, either bulbous or sometimes flat, while an American pokal glass has a more subtle tapered base that leads in to the stem or foot. 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. Very similar to brandy snifters, a beer snifter glass can likewise be used to swirl your drink to help release the hidden aromas, in fact a large brandy snifter is an ideal substitute to a beer snifter.

A required stamp for draught beer service, the CE mark replaced the crown government stamp on pint glasses and half pint glasses to confirm the glass adheres to UK licencing laws. 1/3 pint and 2/3 pint volumes have more recently been introduced to pub glassware to allow for a greater flexibility in drinks service. A CE mark can also accompany a line on the glass. A mass is a German measurement equal to 1 litre, so a masskrug is literally translated as a 1 litre beer mug. Commonly seen at the Oktoberfest beer festival, the masskrug is a tall conical beer mug with a dimpled body. The Pilsner beer glass has a tall, slender shape to emphasise the colour and carbonation of the beer, with a broad top to help maintain the beer's head. A similar style to the Pilsner glass is the Weizen beer glass, specially designed to complement wheat beer.

Of course, with the variety of beer glasses on the market it is not surprising that beers, lagers and ales could be served in all manner of drinking vessels. For good beers that need to be appreciated, a nice wine glass makes a perfect drinking vessel; red wine glasses will usually have a rounded bowl and narrow rim, similar to a beer snifter, while white wine glasses have a wide rimmed bowl, like a beer goblet. Choosing a larger wine glass helps accommodate bottled beer, which usually come in 33cl sizes, and allows you to swirl your beer to release the aromas.
