Glass guide for beer
ᴡɪsᴛ ᴊᴇ ᴅᴀᴛ.... beer glasses have a certain shape for a good reason?
Beers with a bottom fermentation taste best in a tall and narrow glass, such as a whistle or vase. Top-fermented beers deserve a short and spherical glass, which gives the beer's aromas more space. To help you get started, you will find the glass guide for beers in this blog.
Beer glasses for lager
The right beer glasses are very important to ensure that your customers enjoy it to the fullest. The best-selling beer is a lager. So let's start with the ideal lager glasses. With lager it is important that the hop aromas and malt scents reach the nose directly. Thin, straight glasses such as the vase or whistle are most suitable for this.
Beer glasses for weizen beer
Weizen glasses are tall beer glasses with the shape of an hourglass. The height of the glass ensures that you can better view the color of the beer. With a well-poured weizen, the foam cap extends just above the glass. Weizen glasses used to hold half a liter of beer, but nowadays you also see them in smaller sizes.
Beer glasses for wheat beer
Witbier is not weizen. These are two different types of beer. You also serve them in completely different glasses. You serve wheat beer in a sturdy and thick glass. Glasses are often angular and shaped like an octagon, but a round glass also works well!
Beer glasses for bock beer
Bock beer is served in tulip-shaped beer glasses. The shape of these beer glasses helps spread the aromas in the right way. The tulip shape also helps to create a thick foam layer. In addition to Bok beers, heavier blonde beers are also often drunk from tulip-shaped beer glasses.
Beer glasses for IPA
When you first see the IPA glass, you probably don't immediately think of a beer glass. This beer glass has a special shape. The sharply tapered top of the glass ensures that you get a cloud of aromas in your nose with every sip. This shape means the scent lingers until you bring the glass to your mouth. The spacious belly of the glass ensures that the aromas can develop properly and the tapered foot minimizes heat transfer.
How do you choose the right beer glass?
When choosing beer glasses, always keep drinkability in mind. Residual oils, fats or cleaning agents can suppress the carbonation of beer even in small quantities. Brewers are usually proud of the beers they brew. Don't be afraid to ask for information about the ingredients. We can also give you good advice about choosing the right beer glass.
