Quick answer
For most home bars, start with the Craft Master Glass—it's versatile and enhances aromas across IPAs, darks, and goldens. If you love cocktail-inspired brews or hosting, add the Moscow Mule Mug for that frosty, bar-style finish. Use bamboo coasters to protect surfaces and complete the setup.
Craft Master Glass
Building a home bar for non-alcoholic beer is about more than the brews—the right glassware can elevate the experience. Athletic Brewing Co. offers glassware designed to complement their NA beers, from aroma-focused glasses to cocktail-inspired mugs. This guide helps you pick what fits your drinking habits and hosting style.
We'll break down the key options, explain what each piece does best, and give you clear decision rules. Whether you're a solo sipper or a frequent host, you'll know exactly what to add to your cart.
Start with the glass that fits your favorite style
The Craft Master Glass is the most versatile choice. Its tapered body and flared lip are designed to maximize and retain aromas, which matters for hop-forward IPAs like Run Wild IPA and for richer darks like All Out Extra Dark. If you drink a variety of styles, this single glass covers most of your needs.
For cocktail-inspired brews, the Moscow Mule Mug brings a different experience. The copper construction delivers a frosty finish and a polished look that feels like a cocktail bar. It's a 17-ounce mug with a sturdy handle—ideal for serving mocktails or sipping a mule-style brew over ice.
- If you mostly drink IPAs and darks, the Craft Master Glass is your everyday go-to.
- If you enjoy cocktail-inspired flavors or hosting mocktail nights, the Moscow Mule Mug adds a fun, bar-like touch.
Consider how you host and serve
Hosting a gathering? Think about durability and practicality. Bamboo coasters protect your table from condensation rings, and the set of four comes with a handy canvas pouch for storage or travel. They're a simple addition that keeps your bar looking tidy.
For larger parties, the Party Pack Bundle includes a mix of best-selling and cocktail-inspired brews plus a chili lime salt rimmer and a tote bag—but it doesn't include glassware. If you want matching glasses for guests, you'll need to buy them separately. The Starter Bundle is more about trying brews and getting a branded hat, so it's not a glassware solution.
- Bamboo coasters are a low-cost way to protect surfaces and add a natural, clean look.
- If you're hosting, plan to have enough glasses—the Craft Master Glass is a good all-purpose choice for guests.
Match glassware to your serving temperature and style
Temperature changes how a beer tastes and feels. The Moscow Mule Mug is designed for cold, frosty servings—perfect for cocktails or lighter brews on a warm day. The Craft Master Glass works well at standard serving temperatures, letting the aroma come through without extra chill.
Think about the occasion. For a casual solo sip, the Craft Master Glass is simple and effective. For a themed night or when you want a visual statement, the Moscow Mule Mug stands out. Both are backed by Athletic Brewing Co.'s quality, so you're getting gear that matches the brand's focus on great NA flavor.
- Choose the Moscow Mule Mug when you want that icy, bar-style presentation.
- Choose the Craft Master Glass when you want to savor the aroma of your favorite brew.
