Modern Glasses Purpose-Designed For Beer Drinking

Meh. Conic pint glasses and mugs serve me just fine.

 

Yeah but my years of smoking, age and multiple broken noses have done some damage to my sniffer, so anything that can narrow down that aroma helps a lot

 

I don't think they look particularly cool and they're way too pricey. I'd rather have brewery-branded glassware. Keepsakes from visits, cheaper, likely more functional, look better to me, and, of course #properglassware.

 

Just saw this, and they seem a bit gimmicky, to me. Who amongst our glassware cognoscenti will be the first to try these? http://mentalfloss.com/article/68812/these-glasses-will-make-your-beer-look-and-taste-better

 

The ipa glass actually looks pretty cool and seems to be set up in a similar fashion to the spiegelau ipa glass. Nice find!

 

no glass can make any beer taste better...the shape of the glass can only bring out differences in aroma...that's all.

 

You guys missed the fun the first time around:

but this Mentalfloss article actually explains the designs a little better than the last one.

 

Smell and taste are linked so technically...

 

No thanks, $100 for four glasses, I'd rather buy $100 worth of beer and drink it straight from the can or bottle.

 

I have plenty of glassware but saw the Spiegalau IPA and thought... geez I don't think we need another glass...

Then I was at the Dogfish Head pub and they serve the beer in these.

Once I had one in my hands.. my HANDS... I was sold..

Bought one right in the pub to take home..love those things for IPAs

 

The IPA glass at least looks easy to hold, and that pilsener isn't much different from the traditional style.

Wouldn't the design of these glasses' inside bottoms (the pyramid) help push up a head? It seems like it would, and that's a cool idea if only for that reason.

I like them. I also have enough beer glasses to hold a minor festival with, so I won't be buying them. But I like them.

 

Thought I didn't need another glass.

Then I held a Spiegelau IPA glass in my hands.

My life has never been the same...

 

Prediction: While these are $100 now, you'll be able to find them at a closeout store like your local Homegoods in a year or two for $16.99

 

"Pint" is my favorite specific type of beer, followed closely by the specific "12-ounce bottle" type.

 

WARNING: Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to pour a 12-ounce beer into the Pint glass, or a 16-ounce beer into the 12-ounce glass. Warranty will be void, the beer will taste terrible, and in the latter case you will spill beer. Be safe.
