This upside-down beer glass caught our eye. We wanted a set, but couldn’t justify the expenditure (not to mention, no room in our cabinet).
The double-walled glass keeps your beer colder, for longer.
There’s no condensation on the outside, either.
Plan ahead for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day and take a further look at the glasses.
SOME BEER TRIVIA
The oldest known written recipe in the world is for beer.
The first brewery in North America opened in 1642, in Hoboken, New Jersey. The oldest brewery still in business is Yuengling. It began in 1829 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
The first beer brewed on the continent was by members of the Roanoke Colony in Virginia, in 1587.
Beer was first available in bottles in 1850. Cans arrived in 1935. Cans that opened with pull tabs weren’t launched until 1962.
Before then, you needed a punch can opener to open the can (photo #2).
The first beer six-packs came onto the market in the 1940s.
In 1969, beer in cans outsold beer in bottles for the first time.
A barrel of beer in the U.S. holds 31 gallons, enough to fill about 330 twelve-ounce bottles or cans.
Aside from water, beer is the second most popular beverage in the world. Tea is the most popular.

[1] No, you’re not tipsy. This beer glass truly is upside-down (photo © Lily’s Home).
[2] Before tab tops were available in 1962, you needed a punch can opener to get to your beer. The other side is a bottle opener. You can still get them at Walmart and elsewhere (photo @ Walmart).
