The first beer glass appeared with the establishment of the brewing industry in the 1920s. Over time, different types of beer glasses were developed to enhance the drinking experience and reflect national traditions. Some examples include the 'dimple' pint, the Nonik glass, the 'waisted' pint glass, and the tulip shrimp lager glass. Today, there is a wide variety of beer glasses available, each designed for a specific type of beer.
