The March 9, 2025 issue of the NYT Crossword was a massive Sunday puzzle themed “Extra! Extra!”. The clue we’re looking at is “48-oz. beer glass” from that same edition of the NYT Crossword. While completely unrelated to the day’s theme, it’s worth noting that newspaper boys once shouted “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” whenever breaking news hit the streets outside the regular edition like when the London Herald reported the Titanic sinking in 1912. But back to our clue, we’re talking about a beer glass known for its unusual, extra-long shape.
48-Oz Beer Glass NYT Crossword Clue Answer
YARD is the answer to the “48-oz. beer glass” clue.
It’s a yard of ale or a yard glass, which is an unusually long glass approximately one yard long with a bulbous base and a widening shaft. It can contain around 1.4 liters of beer. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone confused it for equipment found in a chemistry lab, like a test tube, but these were made popular in England around the 17th century.
