Looking for a gift for someone who loves good beer? Instead of yet another bottle, choose a craft brewery glass. All three The Beer Store venues in Warsaw sell glassware with the logos of craft breweries: glasses, tankards and goblets you can buy for yourself, for friends or to put under the Christmas tree.
What glassware can you find at The Beer Store?
Our shelves hold glasses with the logos of Polish craft breweries, including Pinta, AleBrowar and Browar Zakładowy. You will find tall glasses for wheat beers, tulip-shaped glasses and classic tankards. The sign by the shelf says “Craft brewery glasses available to buy”, and among its pitches are a great gift idea, take a piece of beer culture home, and collect your favourite breweries.
The range changes, so if you are after a particular brewery, ask our staff or call the venue before you visit.
Why is a glass a good gift for a beer lover?
- Useful every day: the glass stays at home after every beer, unlike a bottle.
- Great for collectors: every brewery has its own logo and character, so glasses are easy to collect as a series.
- Matched to style: good glassware shows off the aroma and the head of a beer.
- For every budget: buy a single glass or put together a set (check current prices at the venue).
Gift ideas: for Christmas, birthdays and St Nicholas Day
- Under the Christmas tree: a glass from the recipient's favourite brewery, or a pair of glasses for a couple.
- For a birthday: a glass from a brewery the birthday person often drinks, paired with a bottle from our shelves.
- For St Nicholas Day (6 December): a small, symbolic glass to start a collection.
- For friends and colleagues: a joint gift of several glasses from different breweries.
- For yourself: why not? A home beer corner starts with good glassware.
Which glass for which beer?
The shape of the glass affects aroma and head, so it helps to match it to the style:
- A tall wheat beer glass: holds plenty of foam and shows off fruity notes.
- A tulip or goblet: concentrates the aroma of intense beers such as IPAs and strong dark beers.
- A tankard: comfortable for lagers and light everyday beers.
Read more about styles in our short guide, and about strong dark beers that suit a tulip glass in the post on the bartender's shelf.
A gift set: glass and beer
The easiest gift is a craft brewery glass plus a beer from the same brewery or from our bartender's shelf. We will choose together: tell us which styles the recipient likes and our staff will suggest what to pick. Availability of beers depends on the venue and the day.
