The aroma, the bubbles, the foam, the temperature... all these parameters make a good beer, but if the container is not adapted, your experience will not be optimal.
Here is a short presentation of some beer glasses and their properties.
|
THE PINT A classic, it keeps and enhances the foam. |
|
|
|
THE CHOPE Another great classic, it keeps the beer fresh for a longer time thanks to its design: thick glass, handle (which avoids the heating by contact with the hand). |
|
|
THE WEIZEN Specially designed for white beers. The elongated shape of the glass brings out the sparkle of white beers. You will smell better the perfume of your beer, this container guarantees a beautiful foam. |
|
|
THE TULIP GLASS This is a stemmed glass. It prevents the beer from heating up. Easy to hold, its shape blocks the aromas and offers you a unique olfactory AND gustatory experience. |
|
|
THE BALLOON GLASS Designed for strong beers, its rounded shape with a narrowed neck keeps the aromas in the same way as a tulip glass. |
There are many other glasses, with other properties.
But beware, the glass is not everything! We invite you to read (or re-read) the following article:
