Is the taste of your beer improved by the glass you use? The answer by a beer sommelier—also known as a cicerone—is yes. Beers have evolved into sophisticated, popular drinks full of different flavours and aromas. Like a wine, different beer glasses have been designed to enhance those flavours and improve the drinking pleasure.
Traditional Pint Glasses - These glasses are slightly wider at the top, with a small lip running around the rim. They hold 20 ounces of beer and are most frequently used in pubs.
Pilsner Glasses - These are taller, slimmer beer glasses, slightly wider at the top. The beer’s clarity can be seen, alongside maintaining its head which is responsible for the beer’s aroma.
Stemmed Beer Glasses - Also known as Belgium glasses, these have a tulip-shaped body from which the lip flares out. Designed to capture the head and promote the aroma of malty beers, the stem aids the sensory experience by letting you swirl the beer.
Beer Mugs - These glasses are characterised by the side handle, there to prevent heat transference from your hands to the glass.
