What kind of beer mugs can I buy?

Glass beer mugs are classic and allow the drinker to taste the beer's flavor. Stainless-steel mugs can keep beer colder longer than glass mugs. Freezer mugs are usually made of plastic, which can absorb odors and flavors, but they keep beer very cold for a long period.

What is a standard beer mug size?

A standard pint of beer in the U.S. is 16 ounces, so a standard beer mug is usually slightly larger. Most beer bottles and cans in the U.S., however, are 12 ounces, so a smaller mug may be used for drinking bottles and cans rather than draft beer.

What is the advantage of using a beer mug over a pint glass?

Beer mugs include handles so your hands will not warm your beer. In addition, they have thicker walls to insulate the glass and keep it cool.
