This year's glass is truly special, featuring an exciting design by acclaimed cartoonist and beer educator Em Sauter of Pints and Panels. The design showcases a vibrant array of New York's state emblems, from the state mammal - the beaver - to the state seal, making this glass a quintessential celebration of New York!

ABOUT PINT DAYS
NYS Pint Days has become an anticipated annual tradition for breweries and enthusiasts alike. During this state-wide event, craft beer lovers flock to participating breweries to purchase a unique and collectible pint glass to commemorate their passion for craft beer and support the local breweries that make it all possible.
Each year's glass features a one-of-a-kind design that pays homage to the vibrant craft beer scene here in New York. What makes these collector's glasses even more special is that once they are sold out, they will never be reproduced again.
More than 40,000 glasses have been sold over the last 4 years, with proceeds directly supporting New York’s craft beer industry. #thinkNYdrinkNY
