Nothing beats a refreshing cold beer, whether it’s outside in the summer sunshine or by the fireplace in a cosy pub on a wet winter’s day. Whatever the season – from hoppy craft beers to light, pale ales – the glass you serve your drink in, matters. So do your beer justice and pour it into a glass, releasing the aromas of the beer and showing off its colour and clarity.
A giant among glasses, the traditional tankard is sturdy and voluminous with some holding more than a pint. Typically featuring thick glass and large handles, tankards are the perfect vessel for drinking beer and cider. Our handmade glass and crystal tankards are also the perfect gift for birthdays, graduations, weddings, retirements, and anniversaries.
These weighty pint pots were a British favourite in the 1960s, but following a rise in straight sided, conical, and tulip beer glasses, the tankard almost became obsolete in the 1990s. Luckily, the resurgence of this traditional beer glass appears to have come hand in hand with the craft beer revolution, and we have a range of high-quality tankards to choose from.
Dartington’s Dimple Crystal Tankard, is a slightly lighter tankard with a narrower base containing a dimple, making it the perfect glass for lighter beers and ciders. Our Real Ale Tankard has straight sides and an oversized, weighty base, making it a popular choice amongst real ale drinkers who enjoy darker toned beers.
If you want to make a real statement, then our Torrington Tankard an authentic English masterpiece. Hand crafted using lead crystal, it’s a high-quality glass that’s ideal for engraving with a personalised message for the perfect gift.
