Choosing the Right Beer Glass

Are you using "The Right Glass"

Reap the benefits from using a glass that flatters the style of beer you choose. A beautiful beer looks even better in a beautiful glass and there are serious tasting considerations when making your choice. There are beer cafes that won’t serve a certain beer, not because they don’t have the beer in stock, but because they don’t have the proper glass in which to serve it.

Basic pint glasses – The most popular because they are sturdy, easy to store and appropriate for serving many styles of beer.

Traditional pilsner glasses – The shape allows the distinctive carbonation of the beer to rise through the narrow body while the wider mouth helps retain the head.

Goblets – The wide bowls are excellent for showcasing the assertive aromas of strong ales. Goblets are somewhat smaller due to the higher alcohol content of these beers.

Tulips and snifters – These vessels have a somewhat smaller opening and taller cup which help to accentuate the nose for especially aromatic beers. Certain wine glasses make an acceptable alternative to tulips and snifters.

Mugs – The sturdiest beer glasses as well as easier to manage and to walk (or dance) around with thanks to their convenient handle!
