One glass for all?

I suppose if I had to choose one, it'd be the Willibecher.

 

das boot...........!!

 

Having never scientifically measured the CO2 release brought on by etching vs swirling, I'll pass on the scientific debate. If you have tables I'll take a look.

In any case, my etched glasses, especially my Duvel glass, release a constant, sizeable stream of bubbles that keeps a cap of head on top of the beer.

 

I'm not sure where I picked up that name for those glasses. Seems fitting, though.

 

I'm not a big fan of Sam Adams macro beer style these days, though this to me is a catch all if you are looking for one glass to rule them all. It's not perfect for all styles, but it will be sufficient if you are looking for a minimal investment.

 

Boston Beer Co. makes an adjunct light lager? That's the conventional "macro beer style" - a light lager or light beer with a large percentage of rice or corn in grain bill. Simply because BBC brews a couple million barrels of beer these days doesn't change the recipes of their products.

BBC does use adjuncts like wheat and pumpkin in some beers, but, of course, beer geeks and Brewers Association officials give those "flavor-enchancing" adjuncts a pass.

 

Just because you don't like one of his beers, you'll pass on the opinions of arguably one of the best brewers in the nation and one of the pioneers of the craft brew industry in the US. Genius.

It's indisputable that the standard shaker pint is inferior for taste and smell of a beer.

 

I use a stemless red wine glass as a go-to. It has enough curvature to trap aromas, but I find the lack of a stem to be a little more convenient less mistake-prone.

 

The second glass in the picture WAS my standard glass... til last night when I smashed it against a table by accident

I'm going to get another one for sure though, it's a beautiful glass and I prefer a glass without logos.
