Beer has been a favorite drink for a long time, going all the way back to history. As beer changed over time, and improved to meet a changing taste, the way we drink it changed as well. Some of the earliest beer holders were carved out of wood, or were made from pottery, earthenware, and even strips of leather sewn together. As time went on, man saw small improvements in the quality of their beer glasses. Early Europeans who lived during the time of the Bubonic Plague, even saw the creation of beer steins, which included an enclosed top to stop the flies from getting into the drink and making people sick.
The development of glass may have been the most important aspect of the way beer glasses are made today. As beer glasses started spreading around, people loved the fact that they could see their drinks. Being able to see the content of vessels led to the filtration of beer, since people no longer wanted to see the unappealing chunks that were often found in the original beers. When beer glasses came in, beer steins started getting on their way out.
As glassware continued to grow and improve, different types of glasses were produced for different types of beer. The 16-ounce pint glass is the most popular beer glass in America. Though it was initially crafted to fit on top of a martini shaker, bartenders soon realized that if they poured beer in the glass, it would retain a more powerful flavor. Storage ease is another reason why this type of glass soon became popular with bar tenders.
A drive to get people to buy their brand of beer by earlier breweries led to some unique and groundbreaking moves on the marketing and promotional front. In some instances, breweries were not allowed to give away free beer, but they could give away their glasses for promotion.

This led to the breweries producing beer glasses that were works of art unto themselves. The first beer glasses were very expensive and exquisite. Eventually, artists for the breweries began doing detailed etchings on the sides of the glasses or steins and even developed a method of firing enamel paint onto the beer glasses. These enameled glasses remain some of the most rare beer collectibles, even though they were made more recently than the others. In our day, some of the beer collectibles and signs are worth a bundle. Maybe you should look around Grandpa's house.
