Gentlemen’s Beerglas

This stemmed Heineken glass was used mainly in cafés, hotels, and restaurants, where beer was served at the table rather than at the bar. The stem helped keep the beer cool, while the tall bowl showed off the clarity that Heineken had become known for.

Glasses like this appear in the post-war decades, when drinking beer became a more relaxed and social ritual again. They were common in Dutch hospitality settings, especially when beer was ordered with a meal or served to guests rather than poured quickly at the counter.

Its design is simple and confident — meant to support the beer, not distract from it.
