Does the Type of Beer Affect the Need for Proper Glassware?

Personally I like to always drink out of the appropriate glasses. Tulips help with aroma, weizen look awesome, help keep a nice head, etc.

The only styles (for me) that I don't always drink out of the same glass are porters (I like pint glass, but putting it in something else is fine too) and adjunct lagers (I don't drink those period).

Either way, drinking a beer is a good thing whether it's out of a
Tulip or snifter

 

Yes, beers that say they should be drank in the container they were sold in need to be poured more than other beers need to be. Beyond that, no - all beer should be poured.

 

I really do not care if the beer is drank out of a coffee mug; however, it gives me a great excuse to buy and use different glasses. I like the way beers are contrasted in the various glasses.

 

I hate shaker pints, anything else is preferable.

 

I drink all my beer out of a styrofoam 8oz coffee glass, I believe this to be the appropriate glassware for all beverages.

 

I drink out of various glassware, but I do not believe matching beer type to glass type adds anything to the beer drinking experience. I think it is all mental.

 

I choose certain glasses based on how well the beer tends to lace and how that lace aesthetically compliments the shape of the glass. It's all aesthetic choice though, which is for instance why I rarely uses pint glasses (sometimes I'll use tumblers for ambers though)

 

If you care about this drink everything from a red wine glass.

 

Everything tastes better in a red solo cup.... Just ask any redneck

 

I pretty much just use tulips and snifters for everything.

Dope

 

I need to find some nice snifters.

 

For me, glassware is all about aroma. And in my opinion a snifter is the most flattering glassware for a beer's aroma. So I'm always okay with a good snifter, regardless of style. (Plastic sippy cups with airplanes and rainbows on the side work well too).

 

THANK you.

 

Pretty much use my Duvel tulip for everything. Just dig it I guess.

 

My favorite glass is an old cheap half tulip red wine glass. Bought for a few bucks at a yard sale. My SA glass is cooler looking, but this glass IMO is pretty special.

 

Everything tastes better in a red solo cup., Thanks Toby Keith for spilling the beans.....

 

I prefer waxed Dixie cups.

 

i drink out of pretty much whatever, although some beers i dont put in a pint or tumbler glass.

 

Yes, certain glasses are made for certain beer styles. With that being said, I rotate the glasses I use and will drink anything from them.
