The Belknap Pint Glass 16oz is a historical drinkware item inspired by the Belknap Blockhouse, a significant military structure during the U.S. Civil War. Named after Colonel John G. Belknap, the commander of the Union forces at St. Paul, Minnesota, this blockhouse was used as a temporary headquarters and a critical stronghold in the Dakota War of 1862. The glass design often features an illustration of the blockhouse, offering a unique way to commemorate this historic site. This collectible pint glass is perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware, especially history buffs and enthusiasts of American Civil War era artifacts.

The Belknap Blockhouse was built in 1862 as a temporary defensive position to protect the Minnesota River Valley against attacks from the Dakota people. Its strategic location made it a vital part of the region's defense during the U.S. Civil War and the subsequent Dakota Conflict. Today, the original blockhouse has been relocated to Fort Snelling State Park in Minnesota, where it stands as a testament to the events that shaped the state's history. The Belknap Pint Glass 16oz serves as a tangible reminder of this important historical structure and provides a conversational piece for anyone interested in American history.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware.

Clear 16 oz (β‰ˆ0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel β€” durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside β€” color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / β‰ˆ0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters β€” handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
