1. THE VERY MANY VARIETIES OF BEER PINT GLASS; $14

Beer’s diversity becomes even more apparent when all its types and styles have been carefully laid out on a pint glass. Pop Chart's beer taxonomy is so extensive, it barely fits on the glass. For more beer fun, they also make a growler that features a Venn diagram of beer ingredients.
