Make Sure That Your Beer Glasses Go With All Occasions

Beer is a no-nonsense drink that you can enjoy regardless of the occasion, but not all beers are the same. When you browse beers from different brands in the store, you should realise that they all differ in terms of brew and type. Hence, not all bears should be given the same treatment-and you should care about the type of vessel you serve or drink them from. Using the right beer glasses means appreciating the brewing traditions and years of expert fermentation. If you are a true beer enthusiast, you should make sure that your beer goes well with the glass and the occasion.

Craft beers are the ultimate class of beers and are best enjoyed in an appropriate glass to accentuate further its flavour and texture. Beer glasses are specially made for different types of specific beers. The weizen, for instance, is a German glass with a narrow bottom and a wide top, and it is used for wheat beer. The tapered edge of the Pilsner glass maintains the beer head and carbonation of Pilsners and pale lagers. The tall and narrow Stange is designed for Koslch, a German beer that hails from Cologne.

Sipping beers like German bocks and Belgian ales are best enjoyed in a goblet. The goblet’s majestic form is perfect for semi-formal occasions, too. Snifters are versatile goblet-type glasses that can be used for aromatic beers like Belgian ales and Imperial IPAs, as well as for liquor like cognac and brandy. Tulip beer glasses are suitable for Scottish ales, imperial IPAs and American doubles, and Belgian ales because it ensure maximum head retention. When you are in doubt, go for the all-around pint glass. Most bars use pint beer glasses made in Shaker style or the 'poor man's' pint glass.
