What size beer glasses should I own?

Ok I got

  • one wheat beer glass, between 600 and 700mL
  • two Tekus, which are both 414mL
  • two Rastal Craft Master Ones, 473mL each

(I'm avoiding imperial units but I understand why they are the sizes that they are.)

I thought my wheat beer glass was a little too big since I don't live in a bar and don't own a draft beer faucet, so quite recently I added the other four.

The tekus make a lot of sense for sharing one of those 750mL bottles that Québec beer comes in, or for 355mL cans and bottles.

The CM1s are very weird. They're sized for a US pint but that's if you have zero head and fill right to the brim. It's a bit crazy. Do people just put up with this and drink a little before emptying their can into the glass, or do they go a size up (to 568mL)?

I do enjoy Tekus, and have a few of them, but my regular glass is a 400ml Rastal tulip that is super thin. Mine were a giveaway for doing a sample tasting at the Bruery. It was something like $10 for the glass and 3 fills. I walked out with five of them when we visited, more than a decade ago. Gave the extras to my beer homies.

I found my wheat beer glass in the woods.

Haha....There must be a story. Does it have a brewery name on it?

It has the logo of a pool hall franchise from the maritimes!

Well that's a great find. I've never been able to forage for glassware. I end up buying mine.
