Get Your Glass in Gear - The Importance of Beer Glassware

This isn’t the first time we’ve discussed the importance of glassware. But today we’re doing a deeper, more scientific dive specifically on beer glasses. We at Barrel to Bottle firmly believe you should always drink your beer out of a glass. But will one of those straight-sided pint glasses suffice, or is it worth spending some money on a beer glass that had fluid dynamics test performed on it? We’re here to definitively answer that question today. Roger brought in three beer glasses that we will be comparing to the straight sided shaker pint control glass: Sam Adams Perfect Pint Glass Duvel Chalice Dogfish Head IPA Glass We’ll be sampling these three beers in each of the four glasses: Sam Adams Golden Pilsner Duvel Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA After our scientific sampling, we’ll also try some of the new innovations from Sam Adams, Duvel and Dogfish Head, each in their brewery’s respective glass: Sam Adams Boston Lager (Remastered) Duvel 6.66 Dogfish Head Citrus Squall If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at comments@binnys.com, or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
