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 advent of glass changed the way beer glasses are made. As beer glasses became more and more popular, consumers could actually see what they were drinking and demanded a lighter and more appealing look as well as taste. This new visual way of drinking beer led to filtration of the drink, since people no longer liked to see the chunks that had been part of traditional beer until that point. As beer glasses became more and more popular, beer steins declined.
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.
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?
