Oktoberfest, with its lederhosen, dirndls, festive music and bratwurst, is synonymous with a good, full glass of beer. And for a brewer, bar or restaurant, choosing the right Oktoberfest beer glass is essential to offering customers a unique experience.
At our company, you will find a varied collection of customisable beer glasses and beer mugs, available in neutral versions or as customised beer glasses with logos. There is nothing like a customised beer glass or mug to distinguish your establishment and create an authentic atmosphere.
What Beer Glasses are traditionally used at Oktoberfest?
For beer lovers, the type is of utmost importance. At Univerre, we recognize the importance and present a carefully chosen selection of the finest beer glasses that gets you in the mood for Oktoberfest.
The beer mugs
The Don Liscia 1.2L beer mug
The Don Liscia beer mug, with its generous 1.2 litre capacity, also known as a ‘Mass’. It is the perfect mug for enjoying beer like a true Bavarian.
Thanks to the thickness of the glass and its sturdy handle, the beer stays fresh longer, even after being poured. Sold with a predefined 1 litre fill line, this glass is perfectly suited to precise glass service.
The Reno 37cl beer glass
The Reno beer glass, with a capacity of 37 cl, appeals with its slender shape that highlights the colour and freshness of the beer. Elegant and functional, it offers an optimal tasting experience.
Versatile, these mugs are suitable for lagers, pilsners and certain ales such as pale ales. They prioritise quantity and freshness rather than highlighting aromas. With their handles, these mugs are particularly suitable for keeping beer cold for longer, and their thickness helps to maintain the temperature.
Beer mugs are versatile glasses that are often used for lagers, pilsners and even some ales such as pale ales. They are ideal for beers where the flavours do not need to be particularly accentuated, but where you want to enjoy a large quantity of cool, thirst-quenching beer. Beer mugs with their handle are particularly good for keeping beer cold for longer and their thickness helps to maintain the temperature.
Beer glass with stem
The Executive beer glass
Available in two sizes (52cl and 26cl), the Executive beer glass has a slightly flared round shape, ideal for highly aromatic beers. Its tulip shape with a wide opening allows for intense aroma development, regardless of the size chosen.
The stemmed glass is ideal for beers that require good aeration and an elegant presentation. Belgian beers, such as Chimay or Duvel, as well as seasonal beers, are particularly well suited to this type of glass. Similarly, bocks and Doppelbocks gain intensity in a stemmed glass, which highlights their rich and complex aromas.
Tumbler and beer pint
The Sestriere beer glass 58cl and 39cl
The Sestriere beer glass, available in 58cl and 39cl versions, is specially designed to showcase light beers. Its flared shape at the top promotes the release of aromas while preserving the foam and bubbles, ensuring an optimal tasting experience. Whether in its generous 58cl format, ideal for enjoying large gulps, or in its more compact 39cl version, perfect for more moderate consumption, the Sestriere preserves the colour, sparkle and authenticity of light beers.
The Nonix 33cl and 58cl beer glass
The Nonix 58cl beer glass has a unique and simple shape. Its subtle curve at two-thirds of the way up plays a decisive role in intensifying the development of aromas. This beer glass, commonly known as a pint glass, is versatile and ideal for enjoying a wide range of beers. It is also available in 33cl, depending on your preference.
The Billy 37cl and 31cl beer glasses
The Billy 37cl beer glass offers the perfect balance between delicacy and functionality. With its narrow frame and slightly flared rim, it retains the foam well while releasing the beer’s aromas. Designed for German beers, this glass embodies a delicious harmony between style and substance. The Billy beer glass is also available in a smaller 31 cl version, which offers the same elegance and functionality in a more compact format.
Beer tumblers and pints are perfect for simpler, refreshing beers. Light lagers, pilsners and ales go well with pints, which allow you to appreciate their sparkle and freshness. Beer glasses, with their wider shape, are also ideal for beers such as stouts or porters, as they offer enough surface area to appreciate the rich aromas and deep flavours of these beers.
Beer glasses Tulip
Pantheon 45cl beer glass
The Pantheon beer glass is large and elegant. Its shape ensures that the volume of your beer remains intact and at the same time creates a beautiful head.
Palm beer glass 38cl
The 38cl Palm tulip beer glass with nucleation point has been designed to bring out the aromas and taste of Belgian beers. The elegant tulip shape combines aesthetics and functionality: while the tapered opening concentrates the aromas, the rounded part of the glass allows for a generous head. The Palm glass fits comfortably in the hand and is ideal for beers that appeal for their diversity and complexity. If you are looking for a glass specially designed for tasting Belgian beers, the 38 cl Palm tulip beer glass is the perfect choice.
Tulip beer glasses are ideal for aromatic and complex beers. Belgian beers such as triples or doubles, as well as IPAs, benefit from the flared shape of the tulip glass, as it concentrates and enhances their aromas. This type of glass is also ideal for seasonal beers and lagers, as it allows you to better appreciate their flavour profile and delicate nuances.

FAQ – Beer Glasses and Beer Mugs for Oktoberfest
Which beer glass should you choose for Oktoberfest?
The choice depends primarily on the type of beer being served and the desired drinking experience. For a traditional atmosphere, the beer mug, especially the one-litre Mass, remains a must. For a tasting experience that highlights the aromas of the beer, a tulip-shaped, stemmed or sensory beer glass is a better choice.
What beer mug is traditionally used at Oktoberfest?
The iconic Oktoberfest beer mug is the Mass, a large glass mug designed to hold one litre of beer. With its thick glass walls and sturdy handle, it is particularly well suited to large beer festivals and helps create the typical Bavarian Oktoberfest atmosphere.
What is the difference between a beer mug and a beer glass?
A beer mug generally has thick glass walls and a handle that makes it easy to hold. It is particularly popular for serving larger quantities of beer and at festive events. A beer glass, on the other hand, can come in many different shapes – pint, tulip, stemmed or sensory glass – designed to enhance the beer’s foam, aromas or colour.
Why is the shape of a beer glass important?
The shape of a glass influences the drinking experience. Depending on its opening, height and diameter, a glass can encourage foam formation, concentrate aromas or help preserve the beer’s freshness and carbonation. Choosing the right glass therefore helps bring out the characteristics of each beer style.
Can beer glasses be personalised with a logo?
Yes. Beer glasses and beer mugs can be personalised with the logo of a brewery, restaurant, company or event. Personalisation helps increase your brand visibility while turning the glass into an effective communication tool.
What is the minimum order quantity for personalised beer glasses?
At Univerre, professional personalisation of beer glasses is available from 250 pieces, with a delivery time generally ranging from 4 to 6 weeks.
For smaller quantities, Glassmania offers personalisation from just 24 pieces, directly online.
Which technique should be used to personalise a beer glass?
Several techniques can be used depending on the glass, the design and the desired result. Univerre offers screen printing and digital printing on glass, among other options. These techniques make it possible to add a logo, text or design to create personalised beer glasses that reflect the identity of your establishment or event.
Are personalised beer glasses only suitable for Oktoberfest?
No. Personalised beer glasses can be used all year round in breweries, bars, restaurants and hotels, as well as at events. They are particularly suitable for beer festivals, corporate events, food and drink events, tastings and promotional campaigns.
Can beer glasses be ordered without personalisation?
Yes. Beer glasses and beer mugs are also available without personalisation. You can therefore choose the model and capacity that best suit your beer, establishment or event, with or without personalisation.
