## We all know that the choice of glass for wine tasting is essential.

## But did you know that the choice of your beer glass can also make all the difference?

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:
