Life can get a little boring when you spend all your time drinking your favorite beer out of the same glass. With the pandemic forcing us to stay at home, we’re taking a look inside our own kitchen cabinets and giving our glassware an upgrade. Because we could all use some excitement in our lives from our favorite everyday things. From the best pint for your IPA, to a unique upside-down beer Pilsner design, to a throwback to one of our classic tekus, we have a beer glass for all your favorite craft beers.

Below, we picked the eight best beer glasses for you and your beer-loving friends.

The Beer Glass for Hype Lords

Rastal Teku

For the uninitiated beer drinker, a teku beer glass may be a foreign concept. But the Rastal Teku has taken the craft beer world by storm in the last few years–and for good reason. With it’s shaped sides, wide mouth, and dependable stem, the teku accentuates the flavors and aromas while keeping your hazy IPA or fruited sour pleasantly chill. It might not be the easiest glass to clean and will require some dedicated shelf space, but the teku is hands-down one of the best beer glasses.

The Best All Around Glass

Hop Culture Logo Willi Becher

Although we’re big fans of the teku, we’ve quickly become enamored of the Willi Becher, a gently curved pint glass. Where the classic shaker pint glass is rigid and stale, the Willi Becher provides a beautiful home for your beers. From hazy IPAs to pilsners to stouts, the Willi Becher can handle any beer. (We even use it for cold brew occasionally.) We added our own personal touch to this Willi Becher glass. Grab yours before they’re all gone!

The Perfect Gift-Giving Beer Glass

Dragon Upside Down Beer Glass

Anything upside down is arguably more fun and exciting than being right-side up. (Well, except maybe if you’re Mike and Eleven living in the alien-infested town of Hawkins, IN in the 1980s.) Dragon Glassware offers the excitement of drinking a beer upside down (almost). Give this unique glass for the perfect birthday or Father’s Day gift. The double-walled insulation will help keep the beer colder longer, and the unique shape makes drinking the beer a little more exciting than a typical glass. Bottoms up!
