The Ultimate Guide To Beer Glasses
Cold beers will always be available in the beer bottles or cans supplied by beer makers, but why restrict yourself to the container supplied by the brewery when there are so many stunning, functional and alternative glasses you can pour your beer into? If this doesn't persuade you, then I'm happy to tell you that the sort of glass your beer is in can optimise its flavour. Many bars and Houston restaurants have different glasses in stock, which are available for you on request. With that in mind I'm providing a fast rundown of some of the options you, the reader, can use at home or in the pub to be certain your craft beer is living up to its total potential. Though this may read like a Batman rogues gallery, these are the best glasses a bar, bar, or beer festival can offer.
The Snifter is simply distinguishable as a glass for brandy swirling but do not put on your monocle just yet. This classy glass is put to great use housing a strong beer. The massive surface helps transfer the heat from your hands, keeping the cold beer from warming up too swiftly, while the tiny opening traps scent, excellent for drinking a robust brew. For my draft beer pick, I like a bold IPA in a snifter to experience maximum hops.
The Shaker is what I have experienced as the most common glass in which my draft beer is served. Thanks to its sturdiness and size, this glass is employed by bars as the go-to glass for each beer, but its shape doesn't help to improve the smell or flavour of the beer. In this glass, your version beer may fall a little flat.
The Pint is the correct way to enjoy the ales of Britain and Eire. The wide opening is good for the dense head that comes with thicker fashions of these ales and certain American craft beer. The small base makes the glass straightforward to hold for the various toasts and songs that can transpire in a friendly pub atmosphere. Ideal if you're ready to drink beer with 1 or 2 chums.
The Pilsner Flute has a triangular shape in order to help concentrate the fragile aromas that surround a good pilsner. If your cold beer of choice is a German klsch or lighter craft beer, don't be afraid to use this glass to show off its lucidity.
The Stein is the most recognized style at beer festivals, and is perhaps oldest glass style for a cold beer, but there are major reasons this tried and true glass has been around for so long. The convenient handle and thick walls of the glass make it straightforward to carry. It is really sturdy if dropped or bumped against a fellow beer festival patron, and comes with a wide mouth for simple drinking in a gang. I mostly bring out a stein for my beer when the party is getting started. Just do not drop it on your foot.
The Weizen is the taller but thinner version of the pint glass and is best with wheat beers. The dilated mouth can hold some of the foamiest of wheat beers, and allows air to enter the glass as you sip so you may enjoy the multitude of smells that come from the wheat brewed beer.
Not just for royalty and the self-proclaimed "crunk," the Goblet is perfect for beer with a thick head and flavour and its shape allows for easy slurping. The world famous beer brewing friars of the Abbey prefer this form of glass for their ales which are best suited for this style. Be certain not to smite anyone.
The Huge Tulip glass looks rather elegant, but is it built to house a strong, malty beer. The bowl at the bottom catches the paired sweetness and aroma, and the wide mouth of the glass is used to accommodate the thickest of draft beer heads.
