Of course, there is a commercial purpose in the production of glassware, but if you devote a little time to this topic, you will notice that everything is much more serious. The color, smell and taste of beer change as it enters the glass. In anticipation of the drink, your receptors begin to work harder, the shades become more accentuated, the color scheme shimmers, allowing you to enjoy the beer more fully.

Still think this is commercial? Scientists say that the shape of the glass affects the foam formation and durability of the foam head. Why is this necessary? Foam is a kind of net that traps the volatile components of beer. What are volatile substances? These are substances that form the aroma of the drink - hop oils, by-products of yeast fermentation (alcohols, fusel oils, fruit esters), spices and other additives. Therefore, in a glass in which a good, dense foam is formed, more of the taste and aromatic qualities of beer are retained. Since different types of beer have different foam heads, each type needs its own glasses. Both beautiful and useful.

What glass are you using? There may be a sea of ​​answers. In Europe, especially in Belgium, each variety must have its own glass. Some breweries are even inventing glasses for beers they haven't yet invented, and every self-respecting bar will have a glass for every beer they sell. Of course, it is advisable to pour your beer into the glass that the brewery has designed for it, but this is not always the best choice.

Okay, now let's talk about which beer is best to drink from which container.

Wine glass (English: flute glass, German: Sektglas)

Some beers take on the elegance of champagne. The elongated narrow shape prevents gases from evaporating too quickly, and thanks to it you can observe sparkling bubbles. Typically, a beer glass has a slightly shorter stem than a champagne glass. Advantages: the play of bubbles is clearly visible, volatile components quickly dissipate, creating a rich aroma.

Chalice, cup (English: goblet, chalice, German: Kelch)

A wonderful creation of human hands: from fragile goblets on a long stem to heavy, thick-walled chalices. On particularly thin ones, the edges are usually bordered with silver or golden paint, and the most durable ones have sculpture-like thick legs. Some are designed for a foam height of 2 centimeters. This is achieved by cutting the bottom, which collects carbon dioxide. Thus, the bubbles come from the very bottom for a long time and the foam is maintained for a very long time. Pros: Beautiful to look at, holds the head well, great for big sips.

How to choose the right one

• Place of purchase. There is no point in looking for quality dishes in a subway passage or in an obscure shop. Branded beer glasses are best purchased either from stores related to barware or glassware, or from online stores of a similar nature. In addition to guaranteed quality, such a place has a wider range and you can almost always order goods from a catalog if the required items are not available.
• Purpose. First you need to decide for which varieties the glasses will be used, as well as in what portions it will be sold/consumed: 250, 330, 500 and 1000 ml or other options.

• Manufacturer. Products from German and Czech manufacturers are of the best quality, but the price for their products is also very high. Chinese brands can offer good quality at a more reasonable price, but you need to make sure that it is a large manufacturer with a good reputation, and not a handicraft surrogate, for example, by searching for information about it on the Internet. Domestic companies with a good reputation, such as Gus Khrustalny\Decostek and the like, offer high-quality beer glasses, both glass and crystal, at a good price. You need to be very careful with unknown brands.
• Product integrity. Glass is a very fragile material, and during transportation, even high-quality goods can develop defects. Before purchasing, you need to carefully inspect and touch each glass for chips. When ordering by mail, you should prefer cash on delivery.

Supermarkets often sell gift beer with a glass included. Starting from $10 for a couple of bottles and a glass you can get a product of acceptable quality, and for $20-30 you can get a high quality one.

How to use it correctly

How to pour

• The empty glass is positioned at an angle of approximately 45°.
• The liquid stream should touch the surface in the middle of the product.
• After filling to the middle, the glass returns to a vertical position.
• The end result should be a foam head of 2-4 cm. If it is larger, then the filling speed was too fast for this variety and you need to pour more slowly.

How to serve

• Supply temperature. This is the most important thing, the liquid should not be warm, but also too cool, which will prevent the organoleptics of the drink from developing. Cooling speed for a bottle of light: in the refrigerator about 2.5 hours, in the freezer 25 minutes.
• Special dishes. For ordinary types, you can use simple beer glasses, such as an American pint or mug, without compromising the flavor and aroma properties. To reveal the organoleptic properties of a refined Kölsch, or Gose, you will need a specific Stange Glass type glass. In more general terms, the pattern is as follows: for this you need narrow and tall glasses or mugs, for this you need glasses that taper towards the top with a wide base.

• Absolutely clean dishes. Any greasy spots remaining after washing inside a beer glass or mug prevents normal foam formation.
• Foam cap. On average it should be from 2 to 4 cm and have a dense structure of small bubbles. This parameter depends on the temperature of the drink, the pouring method and the cleanliness of the glassware.

How to drink

The correct method can be called “In three steps”:

• Half the volume is drunk in the first sip.
• For the second half of the remaining.
• The third is all that's left.

That's why, When pouring beer, you should calculate the serving size. It is also not customary to drink it with other drinks or one variety with another. When mixing with others alcoholic drinks feeling unwell in the morning is almost guaranteed.

The right glass for good beer is as important as the right glassware for drinking wine or champagne. It will help reveal the full flavor and aroma of the foamy drink, and will also contribute to the correct progress of decarbonation and prevent premature heating of the liquid. Of course, depending on the type and quality of beer, this effect will not be the same. The higher the quality and the more refined the drink, the stronger the influence of the glassware on the organoleptics.

Volatile components - substances that form the aroma of the drink - hop oils, by-products of yeast fermentation (alcohols, fusel oils, fruit esters), spices and other additives. Therefore, in a glass in which a good, dense foam is formed, more of the taste and aromatic qualities of beer are retained.
