19 oz Nonic Glass 'Imperial Pint'

Do you find that your hands warm your beer before you’ve finished drinking?  Do your glasses stick together when you stack them?  If so, the nonic glass is the answer!  The nonic glass is known by many names: nonic pint glass, nonic lager, Irish imperial pint glass, tulip pint glass, and the English pub glass.  But no matter what you call it, the nonic glass adds just a little oomph to the average pilsner glass.  The nonic glass has a slightly modified conical design where the glass bulges out a couple of inches from the top.  The reason for this bulge it three-fold: 1) it makes it easier to grasp, for a firmer grip on the glass; 2) it prevents the glasses from sticking together when stacked and put away; and 3) most importantly, the narrower bottom helps prevent your hands from warming the beer too quickly.  At 6-inches tall, this 19-oz glass pairs well with a wide variety of beers, such as an English ale or bitter.
