Mug, or Pilsner? Pilsners usually look more elegant. A mug gives you a handle to grab a hold of, without your hand warming your cold drink. Our pilsners and beer glasses are just the right size to hold a 12 ounce bottle of beer. 12 ounces in most mugs make them look only partially filled, with the exception of our superb crystal Galaxy Beer Mug, which is nicely filled with a 12 ounce bottle and looks spectacular anywhere.  The optimal solution would be some of both, mugs and pilsners.
