    Harvest Ale is not different than any other APA/IPA. Feel free to use whatever you use for other beers of similar style.

    Standard pint is probably the least appropriate but the beer will still taste good from it.

    Snifter, to get all that hop aroma concentrated. This is really a great brew.

    This glass is probably my favorite piece of glassware now. Great size, shape and feel. About to drink Harvest Ale out of it tonight. Not sure it will change my life but it will be a very good experience indeed.

    1) Check said beer's style

    2) Check Beer 101 - Glassware for said style

    Personally I think a tulip of the right size (Duvel Single tulips are best for me) or a Luettich balloon (Brooklyn, Bruery, and Sierra Nevada's "tulip" style glassware) are pretty much optimal for almost anything. As in, I'm not sure what beer they wouldn't be optimal for.

    Hell, I use them if I'm going to actually sit down with an AAL, Cream Ale, or some other (generally) low-quality beer, because I figure you might as well get the most out of the experience.

    Fresh hop/wet hop/harvest ales aren't in the style section yet, so there's no recommended glassware. Probably why he asked. But I treat them like DIPAs. So snifter or tulip.

    That's like saying you wouldn't know what to do with a Barrel Aged Stout

    Um, I guess. But a BA stout is still a stout. Fresh Hop ales aren't necessarily APAs, IPAs or DIPAs.

    I drink everything out of various Duvel tulips so I'm biased. But yeah, tulip. Get your face in that bitch.
