American Vs British Pint Glass
 
I like the sleek look of the American pint glass but as far as utility is concerned the British with its bump wins out. I used to think the bump was only for keeping a grip when pissed but it also serves as a rim protector when the glass is tipped.

gotta love the bump....besdies the dimple steins are too heavey so when i get drunk, its a pain to hold onto. Im lazy

British pint here, your US pint is too small. :)

I like the look of the British style more as well.

I voted British simply because it's what I'm accustomed to. After so many years it just feels right and familiar.

If I'm gonna hold a big one, I want it to be ribbed for my pleasure.

As long as it is full, I won't complain either way

British. I like the classic look and the weight and size of the glass just 'feel right' with the 20-22 oz. capacity.

I think there needs to be a fourth category...Both...I have a mix of both styles...Though I do tend to grab the british ones the most I guess...

I'm gonna have to go with the British pint. Why? Because its bigger duh! :D Also, the shape of the glass keeps a better head I think. But either way is fine with me. As long as its full that is. :D

When it comes to beer I'm pretty much going to vote British no matter what the question.
