It is well known that beer has been with mankind for a long time. As beer changed over the years, so did the way we drink it. The earlier vessels man used for drinking included earthenware, pottery, carved out wood, and even sewn-together pieces of leather. Beer glasses improved over time. Early Europeans living during the time of the Bubonic plague saw the creation of beer steins, which had an enclosed top on the steins to keep flies from landing in the brew and getting the person 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.
The development of glassware continued and produced a variety of beer glasses for all kinds of different beers. America's favorite beer glass was the 16-ounce pint glass. That type of glass was initially used to fit the top of a Martini shaker, but it soon became apparent that pouring beer from the tap to the pint glass allowed some of the carbonation out, and gave the beer a more intense flavor. Since this type of glass could easily be stacked together, bartenders soon chose it as one of their favorite beer vessels.
Some of the breweries really went above and beyond to publicize their beer and make it the most popular, something that launched what would become aggressive marketing and promotion. Early breweries were often prohibited from give away beer or other rewards to their customers, but found that giving away beer glasses was a great way to reward customers and also to advertise for themselves.
So, this is how the production of beer glasses began. The first beer glasses were were very luxurious in design, and they were very expensive also. As artists began to be hired by breweries to create beautiful works of art, they also began to

As artists began to be hired by breweries to create beautiful works of art, they also began to use paint enamel on the outside of the glass. Enameled glasses are a favorite of collectors, even if they are definitely not the most ancient. Today, some of the beer collectables and signs are worth thousands of dollars and sought out worldwide by eager collectors. Have you thought of looking at Grandpa's house lately?
