Delivery Information

Price Match

These are 280ml toughened tulip beer glasses from Utopia, supplied in a pack of 48 and carrying CE certification for legal measure compliance. The tulip profile is one of the most widely used shapes in UK licensed premises, offering a slightly flared rim and a gently curved body that works across a broad range of draught and bottled serves — lager, ale, cider, and similar styles.

The nucleated base etching encourages a steady bead of carbonation, which helps maintain the head and presentation of the drink throughout service. In a busy bar environment this matters, particularly when staff are working quickly and glassware is turning over at pace. Toughened glass construction means the glasses are more resistant to everyday impact than standard annealed glass, and when breakage does occur, the glass fragments rather than shatters into sharp shards — an important consideration for venues operating under licensing conditions or those managing glass safety risk.

  • Nucleated base supports consistent carbonation and head retention
  • Toughened construction resists everyday bar and glasswasher impact
  • CE marked for legal measure compliance on 280ml serves
  • Tulip profile suits a wide range of beer, lager, and cider serves
  • Pack of 48 provides practical par stock for most bar operations

These glasses pass through commercial glasswashers without issue under normal operating conditions, though as with all toughened glassware, avoiding thermal shock — such as placing cold glasses directly into very hot water — will extend service life. The 48-piece pack size suits mid-volume bars reasonably well as a starting par stock, though higher-volume venues or those running multiple bar stations may want to consider ordering additional packs to maintain adequate rotation.

This glass is well suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, and clubs serving draught or bottled beer and cider. If you are equipping a new venue or replacing a full glassware range and want guidance on quantities or glass types for your specific operation, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these glasses suitable for use in a commercial glasswasher?

Yes, toughened glassware is designed to withstand the conditions inside a commercial glasswasher. To get the best service life, avoid loading glasses that are very cold directly into a hot wash cycle, as repeated thermal shock can weaken toughened glass over time.

What does the nucleation on the base actually do in practice?

The nucleated etch creates a controlled point for CO2 to release, producing a steady stream of bubbles that continuously refreshes the head. In a bar setting this helps drinks look well-presented throughout the drink rather than going flat-looking quickly after pouring.

How many packs would a typical pub or bar need to order?

That depends on your covers, bar layout, and glasswasher cycle time, but a single pack of 48 is generally a starting point rather than a complete solution for a trading venue. Most operators find it worth calculating their peak simultaneous glass usage and adding a buffer to account for breakage and glasswasher turnaround — we can help work that through if it would be useful.
