Who would have thought that the first beer was created 4,000 years before Christ, somewhere between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers? Legend has it that a bread baker left his dough in the sun for too long, triggering a fermentation process in the yeast cultures. The result: an early precursor to beer. Developed over millennia, the golden drink has become a timeless classic. But it is not just the beer itself that captivates people to this day. It is also the unforgettable moments shared with friends and family. The right beer glass makes every occasion special, intensifying the taste. Proper beer glasses not only enhance the beer’s aromas but are also real eye-catchers. At Ritzenhoff, you'll find both pilsner glasses and wheat beer glasses, stylishly decorated or simple for everyday use. Discover your new beer glass, as a single glass, duo or set.

Types of Beer Glasses

Every type of beer deserves its own glass. We help you find the right one for your favorite drink. For the connoisseur, it is particularly important to distinguish between pilsner and wheat beer glasses.

Pilsner Glasses

Pilsner glasses are recognized by their distinctive shape, starting with a slight bulge at the bottom narrowing towards the top. A form known as the "pils tulip." It helps to concentrate the beer's aromas and stabilize its foam. Pilsner glasses have a narrow opening and are smaller than wheat beer glasses. Explore our high-quality range of pilsner glasses.

Wheat Beer Glasses

Wheat or Weizen beer glasses are larger than pilsner glasses with a narrow waist, fitting perfectly in the hand, widening toward the top. This unique shape promotes foam formation, preserves carbonation and ensures the beer stays fresh. The wide opening allows the Weizen's fruity and spicy notes to fully unfold. And it is not just the taste that impresses, Ritzenhoff wheat beer glasses are real lookers. Discover our diverse selection of wheat beer glasses today.
