Consider pairing a Krosno tankard with a favourite bottle selection for a more substantial retirement gift.
Tankard Sets
If you entertain regularly, buying tankards as a set can be more practical than purchasing them individually.
Current options include:
The first provides full pint-size beer service, while the second is better suited to smaller servings and tastings.
Glass Tankards vs Pint Glasses
Both tankards and conventional pint glasses are suitable for beer, but they create different drinking experiences.
Glass Tankards
Tankards feature handles and generally have heavier, more traditional shapes.
Pint Glasses
Conventional pint glasses use a handle-free design and can feel lighter and more contemporary.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose a tankard if you enjoy traditional pub styling and a substantial handled glass.
Choose a Pint Beer Glass if you prefer a simpler handle-free silhouette.
Many beer drinkers keep both.
Dimple Tankards vs Straight Sided Tankards
Dimple and straight-sided tankards offer two different interpretations of classic beer glassware.
Dimple Tankards
These feature a textured exterior associated with traditional pub glassware.
Straight-Sided Tankards
These use cleaner vertical sides for a simpler appearance.
The Dimple Glass Tankard – 570ml provides the classic textured look.
The Large Straight Sided Glass Tankard – 670ml provides a larger, cleaner alternative.
How to Choose a Glass Tankard
When choosing a glass tankard, consider capacity, shape and intended use.
Capacity
Choose around 565–570ml for a traditional pint-size serve.
Smaller 270–287ml tankards work well for tastings.
Larger 600ml+ designs provide extra room for generous beer serves.
Design
Dimple tankards provide classic pub styling.
Straight-sided and Stern tankards offer cleaner alternatives.
Quantity
Choose an individual tankard for personal use or gifting.
Choose sets of six for entertaining, restaurants or home bars.
Occasion
Decorative football and handmade designs work particularly well as gifts.
Caring for Glass Tankards
Always follow the individual product's care instructions.
When washing tankards, pay attention to the handle and heavy base, as these areas can knock against other glassware.
Use warm water and mild detergent when hand washing and avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the glass.
If dishwasher suitability is important, check the specific product details before cleaning.
Pair Tankards with Beer Accessories
A tankard works naturally alongside other beer and bar accessories.
