Utopia Tulip Nucleated Toughened Beer Glasses 570ml CE (48pk)

The tulip is one of the most established beer glass shapes in UK pub and bar service. Its gently flared rim and curved body suit a wide range of draught and bottled serves — from pale ales and lagers through to ciders and craft beers — making it a practical all-rounder for mixed drink menus. This version from Utopia is fully toughened and carries CE certification at the 570ml pint line.

Toughened glass is produced through a controlled thermal process that significantly increases resistance to knocks, drops, and the general wear that comes with high-volume bar service. In the event of a breakage, toughened glass fractures into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards. This is an important consideration for licensed premises operating under conditions that require or recommend toughened glassware, and it reduces the risk of serious injury during collection and clearing.

The nucleated base — a small etched ring or pattern on the inside of the glass — promotes a steady bead of carbonation from the bottom of the drink. This keeps the head consistent through service and supports presentation standards without any additional effort from bar staff.

• Suitable for a wide range of draught and bottled beer and cider serves
• Toughened construction reduces breakage costs and injury risk
• Nucleation supports consistent carbonation and head retention
• CE marked at the pint measure for compliance with licensing requirements

These glasses are a sensible choice for pubs, bars, sports venues, and licensed restaurants where durability and compliance matter as much as presentation.
