Beer Glasses from Rastal – glasses for IPA, pilsner, wheat beer and tasting

This is our range of beer glasses from German maker Rastal: the all-round TEKU, the Craft Master glasses, classic pilsner and wheat beer glasses, pint glasses, tasting glasses with paddles and a 1.5-litre pitcher. Most beer glasses are sold in boxes of six, and the Conical Tumbler pint glass also comes in boxes of twelve and individually.

How to choose the right beer glass

A beer glass should suit both the beer style and the way you drink. Three things set the glasses apart:

The rim. A narrowing rim gathers the aroma towards your nose. That is why hoppy and aromatic beers are often served in glasses such as the TEKU 42 cl and the Lüttich Balloon 30 cl.
The stem. A stem keeps your hand from warming the beer. The Lüttich Balloon has a short stem, so you can warm the beer slightly in your hand to bring out more complexity.
Volume and calibration. Calibrated glasses have a marked fill line with room for foam above it. The Conical Tumbler holds 47 cl and is calibrated to 0.4 litres.

TEKU was developed by Teo Musso, founder of the Baladin brewery in Italy, and beer sommelier Kuaska. Craft Master One won an iF Design Award in 2015 and has a thin rim that concentrates the aroma. For serving there is also the 1.5-litre Louisiana Pitcher.

Frequently asked questions about beer glasses

Which beer glass suits IPA?

IPA and other hoppy beers suit glasses with a narrowing rim that gathers the hop aroma, such as the TEKU 42 cl or the Craft Master Taste 37 cl. Rastal describes the Craft Master Taste as made for everything from IPA and pale ale to darker beers and cider.

What does it mean that a beer glass is calibrated?

A calibrated glass has a marked fill line, so you pour the right amount and leave room for foam. The Conical Tumbler holds 47 cl in total and is calibrated to 0.4 litres, while the Pilsener glass holds 51.1 cl and is calibrated to 40 cl.

Why does the TEKU glass have such an unusual shape?

TEKU was created as a standard glass for tasting craft beer, inspired by the glasses used for wine tasting. The thin glass and distinctive shape are designed to bring out aroma and flavour in every beer style.

How do I taste several beers side by side?

Use small tasting glasses, so you can compare several beers without drinking much of each. The Teku Taster Flight Set has three 19.4 cl tasting glasses and a handmade paddle. The 19.5 cl Craft Master One Taster can be combined with the Craft Beer Paddle.
