Why this beer glasse earns its place
A pint glass is a simple thing until you're washing fifty of them back-to-back through the glasswasher—then it becomes a test of engineering. Arcoroc's Conical glasses are tempered, which means they've been heat-treated to withstand the thermal shock that destroys ordinary glass. Grab a cold pint from the fridge, pour hot cask ale into it, wash it immediately in 65-degree water, and repeat this four hundred times a week without a single crack. That's what tempered glass delivers.
The 150mm height and 90mm conical shape are practical and proportional: they sit comfortably in hand, look right on a bar counter, and don't take up excessive space in a crowded glasswasher basket. At 570ml, they hold a full imperial pint with room for a decent head, which matters for real ale service and customer expectation. The simple, clean taper is honest design—no fussy details, no weak points, no aesthetic compromises to engineered durability.
And if breakage does happen—which it will, because this is a pub—the tempered glass shatters into small, harmless rounded shards instead of jagged splinters. That's a genuine safety advantage in a crowded venue where broken glass could end up underfoot. UKCA-CE marked, so you're covered for regulatory requirements across the UK, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Dishwasher safe, dishwasher tough.
