A toast with Daniela: how to choose beer glasses

Bicchiere da birra - Daniela1963

Beer is, together with wine, the beverage of conviviality par excellence. What's better than a cold beer to drink in summer, maybe on the beach?

There are beers on the market for all tastes and of various types: blond, dark, red, even black! There are also double malt, craft and industrial beers.

In short, everyone can find the right beer for himself, as long as there is foam. Yes, because this is a fundamental element to taste it at its best.

In fact, foam has the task of keeping aromas, delay oxidation and evaporate carbon dioxide during pouring. Not only that, its presence also preserves us from swelling and unwanted bellyaches.

One of the favorite ways to enjoy a good beer is to drink it "by the barrel", that is directly from the bottle.

However, if you want to drink with friends, you must have a mug or a glass beer glass. How to choose the right one? If you want to choose a pair to keep at home to drink with friends, continue reading this article.

Beer glasses, how many types?

Ever had a beer in a plastic glass? If not, you were lucky! Choosing a glass for a beer may seem a trivial operation, but it is, instead, a real and proper ritual that can determine the quality of the experience, by exalting its different organoleptic properties.

The types of glasses for beer are essentially three:

  • tulip-shaped
  • cylindrical,
  • round.

Every shape has its reason: different shapes can make a difference in the tasting experience.

How to choose the right beer glass?

Let's see how to choose the right glass to serve our beloved beer. The round goblet glass, for example, is ideal for keeping the temperature of the beverage and avoiding it to get warm.

Cup glasses favor the preservation of carbon dioxide, a fundamental substance in order to completely perceive the taste of beer.

Not to be underestimated is the presence of engravings in the bottom of the glass. This aspect, which can seem to be trivial, favors, instead, the formation of beer perlage. It is, that is, the continuous flow of bubbles that rises from the bottom and forms new foam.

The best compromise can be obtained with tulip shaped glasses which keep well the temperature but also favor the presence of carbon dioxide in order to create a good level of foam.

Generally speaking it can also be said that the slightly flared glass is perfect for low fermentation beers. The round goblet is preferable for high alcohol and full bodied beers. Whereas the large tulip shaped go blet is suitable for more beers, confirming itself as the most versatile one.
