Drinking beer in a wine glass

Two of my favorite beer glasses are oversize wine glasses.

 

Just bought a Night Shift Brewing Rastal Harmony wine glass. The couple times I have used it the beers aromas are super concentrated and intense. Well worth the price at the brewery.

Looks like this.

 

I use my torst wine glasses more so than anything now.

 

Randy Mosher writes the same thing in his book Tasting Beer. (on page 82)

 

What about a rosé glass?

 

I wouldn't try it at one of the rougher British boozers!

 

Interesting, I've done stouts in an oversized red wine glass before, and it's worked really well. I do agree, kind of top heavy for the less graceful drinker, however. My go to glasses are a Belgian style snifter or brandy snifter at this point.

 

I've never drunk beer in a wine glass but have, on occasions, drunk beer from a wine glass

 

What would someone in England know about speaking good English

 

While I don't disagree with Garrett for some beers, I'd like to see him bring a white wine glass to Oktoberfest and see what happens.

 

I do it on ocassion. It's the same as a snifter.

 

I like to drink really high ABV beers from wine glasses sometimes, usually barleywines.

 

I do it quite often and would have no problem recommending it to anyone.

 

Last time I was in NY I hit up Torst (the Brooklyn Bar owned by Jeppe of Evil Twin) and every beer there is served in a wine glass.

 

If I am home I will usually choose a snifter if I am drinking a beer by myself. If I am sharing with company I often pull out a few wine glasses (nothing special just smaller ones I have picked up at local events). If I am out somewhere I say use the best thing available. Hell I have drank wine from a red solo cup and two weekends ago I was sitting in someone's lawn enjoying some gueuze out of a little plastic cup.

 

I like to swirl and sniff beers particularly my ales (e.g. saisons, DIPAs). Releases more of the nose. With simpler lagers like pils, helles, I'll use a shaker or pilsner glass.

 

Despite my semi-adult children's ill-informed opinions, I think my go to stemless red wine glass is the perfect glass for the stouts that I prefer.

 

I use these for almost everything. Cost Plus calls it a sangria glass. It's basically a big wine bulb with a stubby, fat stem.

 

I too have found an increase in the hop blast from a wine glass. Its shape is similar to my IPA goblet or snifter with more of a tulip shape. Funny how scientific it gets with different shaped glassware and how the beer tastes .

 

Didn't read all this but I think the owner of Brooklyn brewing or something said he thinks a red wine glass is the most universals glass and he prefers it or something...
