Willy Becher - classic lager beer glass

Alternative names (various languages):

Typical volumes
• 0.25-0.5 l

Description:

Willy Becher is a traditional beer glass in Germany and the Czech Republic. In our region, thanks to its simplicity and low price, it has become the most common and widely used pub glass you will encounter. It is a tall glass that is widest at roughly two-thirds of its height, tapering from there both towards a relatively thick base and towards the top rim. The walls are relatively thin, so hands can warm the beer quickly. Another downside is its fragile construction. Willy Becher is primarily used for lighter and medium-strength Czech and German bottom-fermented beers.

Condec Note

Compared to beer mugs, the wall is thin. On the other hand, compared to other glasses, the Willi is among the more durable glassware.
