TIP OF THE DAY: Drink Beer From A Globe Glass
Historically, different beers have been drunk from differently-shaped glasses. For example, Germans created the tall pilsner and the handled stein. The British prefer the pint glass. Belgians favor a globe glass.
It turns out that the Belgian glass may be the best for enhancing the flavor of beer. Like a Champagne glass, a good globe beer glass has etched lines at the bottom of the bowl that help to create a continuous stream of bubbles. Wine glass expert Riedel—which makes a different-shaped glass to enhance the unique qualities of each type of wine—sells a modified globe glass for beer. If you’re in the market for new drinking glasses, check out the globes. See the different types of beer glasses. |
