Description

A nonic pint glass is a beer glass that was invented in the 1900s and rose to popularity in the 1940s. Nonic pints have multiple benefits in busy bar situations because their signature bulge makes them less breakable and easier to store. They typically hold between 16 and 20 fluid ounces of beer but they are made in smaller sizes as well. What beers are usually served in a nonic pint? UK Parliament early Day Motion 988, Feb 20 2008".

There are tons of different beer glasses out there, but they’re not created equally. The nonic pint glass was made in the early 1900s with the beer drinker and the bartender in mind. What Is a Nonic Pint Glass? A darling of British Pubs, the Nonic Pint Glasses's bulge actually serves a functional purpose. Let's find out what that is. What are the benefits of using a Nonic Pint Glass? Conical (or sleevers) glasses are shaped, as the name suggests, as an inverted truncated cone around 6 inches (15cm) tall and tapering by about 1 inch (25mm) in diameter over its height. Also called a "shaker pint" in the United States, as the glass can be used as one half of a Boston shaker. The most common size found in the US holds 16USfloz (473ml) to the rim. In the United States, a pint is 16 US fluid ounces (473ml). However, the typical conical "pint" glass holds 16 US fl oz only when filled to its rim with liquid. With a half-inch of foam, the actual liquid fill is roughly 14USfloz (410ml), missing one eighth of its volume. [23] In 2008, some restaurants replaced 16-ounce pint glasses with 14-ounce ones, to which customers objected. [24] In response to this, 2014 legislation in the state of Michigan (known for its craft brewing culture) requires bars to serve 16-ounce pints. [25] Nucleated pint glasses [ edit ] Nucleated base of a pint glass A more recent pint glass style mimics that of a standard pint-sized beer can. This pint glass has straight, cylindrical sides with an inverted lip and base. This style is around 40 per cent lighter than a conical style pint glass because it is less prone to tipping, so it doesn’t need to have a heavy base to provide stability. Choosing the right glass giftIn truth, you can pour just about any beer into a Nonic. At least, any beer that would normally get poured into an American pint glass that is. The Nonic Pint Glass's is an improvement over the American pint glass in a few ways. And, some other beer glasses too.

United Kingdom law [ edit ] A dimpled glass pint jug with "Pint to Line" and Crown certification mark Tulip-shaped glass with the Crown stamp Selling beer in unmeasured glasses without using some other form of calibrated measure is illegal. Half-pint, one-third pint and two-thirds pint (schooners) glasses are also available and are subject to the same laws. Two-thirds of a pint is not equal to the Canadian, US or Australian schooners, which are respectively of different measures. Instead, the term "schooner" is sometimes informally used within the UK to describe two-thirds of a pint (379ml). Pint glasses come in a wide variety of different styles. These include the conical ‘sleevers’ style that tapers by about one inch in diameter from rim to base, the Nonic pint glass that has a bulge a couple of inches below the rim, which helps you grip the glass, the jug glass or dimple mug style with a handle, and the tulip style pint glass, which is a more modern design that is taller with a flared rim.This article was updated by Kate Dingwall, who has spent more than six years writing about wine and spirits and the last decade as a working sommelier. Her work appears in a variety of national outlets, both print and digital. She’s the niece of an award-winning Belgian brewer and is always kind enough to help test his new brews. For this roundup, she interviewed master cicerone Max Bakker of Anheuser-Busch. Be careful when shopping for imperial pints. Some glass manufactures will consider their product imperial simply because it has a crown printed on it, rather than basing the label on size. If a glass says it holds “20oz” it will be close enough to the standard imperial size. Where can I find a nonic pint glass? That classic beer can size and shape just feels correct in the hand, but the glass construction takes the classiness level up a few notches, and the lightweight feel of the glass itself is a refreshing twist on the standard pint glass characteristics. These glasses beg for a nice pilsner or kolsch, but they hold their own just fine with an IPA or an ESB as well. Versatile, well-made, and attention-grabbing, this set is the perfect gift for all the beer lovers on your list. Beer glasses are kind of like house plants—sometimes they are hard to keep alive,” Bakker says. “I recommend looking for glasses that you will be able to clean and maintain. Stemmed glasses and glasses with intricate artwork on them are nice, but always require hand washing versus ease of the dishwasher. Thinner, lighter glasses require a softer touch when cleaning, drying, and storing.” Other than that you should be able to find these in most box stores like Target, Walmart or even Home Goods.

Bartenders and brewers serve English ales like bitters, pale ales, and dark milds in a nonic pint glass. For beer scholars studying for certifications like Sommelier, WSET, and Cicerone, these English beer styles are considered classic for the glass. Glass manufacturer Libbey also makes 16oz Nonic Pint Glasses. The brand is known for being durable. Apparently, Libbey uses a special process of heat treating the top of the glass to improve it's thermal resistance and susceptibleness to chipping and breakage. People often wonder why we drink beer, cider and lager by the pint and where the tradition came from. The reason why old innkeepers and pub landlords served drinks in pints was down to mathematics. Pints make sense because it is a simple division of the ale’s casks from the brewery. A nonic pint can also be an imperial pint or a U.S. pint. In the States 16oz (473ml) constitutes a pint of beer, however over in the U.K. a pint is 20 British fluid oz (568ml). Therefore if you slide a U.S. pint across the bar to a Brit they’ll notice it’s too small to be called a pint. They’re right, a U.S. pint is about 20% smaller than an imperial pint. The Irish Stout is served in a tulip pint, which looks similar to the nonic pint but is not exactly the same. For one thing, the smoother sloping sides of the tulip pint create a narrow bottom which is harder to clean than the nonic pint.The tulip pint also tends to be smaller and holds 12oz to 16oz. What makes a nonic pint special?Collapse of Glass Firms Calls Time on Dimpled Jugs". The Independent. 10 March 2001 . Retrieved 20 January 2019. It is increasingly common to find pint glasses which contain markings on the base; very often these glasses are branded to one particular beer. The markings themselves are formed from small pits, which aid in nucleation, allowing the gas within it to be released more easily, thus preserving the head. Without the aid of these pits a regular pint glass will keep a head for only 3 or 4 minutes before appearing "flat". [26] The markings come in a variety of styles ranging from a simple circular or square hatched pattern to more complicated branding messages. Plus, they hold more. An Imperial Nonic carries 20oz of fresh beer. Or, 4 more ounces than you'd get otherwise in a pint. And, it's got a sharper look, even if that look is a bit more rounded. Beer glasses are designed to promote the visual aesthetics of beer (foam, color, and clarity) and to enhance the beer’s flavor (aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste),” Bakker says. “While there are many different types of beer glasses to choose from, a glassware’s cleanliness will make a bigger difference in your enjoyment than the type of glass used.” Give your glass a rinse with some clean cool water before pouring,” Bakker says. “Tilt your glass at a 45-degree angle and pour until about two-thirds full. Then, pour straight down the middle with force to develop the perfect collar of foam. You should see a nice collar of foam composed of small, tight bubbles, and there should be no bubbles adhering to the sides of the glass.”

The frothy foam on top of a beer sets it apart from every other beverage on earth. No other drink can maintain a long-lasting head (the technical term for that foam cap), and to put it on display, you definitely have to know how to pour a beer. Beyond showcasing that one-of-a-kind foam layer, drinking beer out of a glass rather than the can or bottle allows you to enjoy all of the tantalizing aromas it has to offer. The cost of returning the product(s) and postal insurance is the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise specified. A pint glass is a form of drinkware made to hold either a British imperial pint of 20 imperial fluid ounces (568 ml) or an American pint of 16 US fluid ounces (473ml). Other definitions also exist, see below. These glasses are typically used to serve beer, and also often for cider. In Canada, Federal law mandates a standard imperial pint. [16] However, this law is rarely enforced in some provinces, such as British Columbia, and establishments sometimes sell US pints or other measures as "pints." [17]
