    Hello to all
    This is my first forum post and I hope to be in this community for a while.

    However, the first thing that came to my mind was a doubt regarding a glass. I'm referring to the Munique glass.
    I have not been able to find information regarding the specific styles that suit this glass, whether it is here on beeradvocate or other sites, or youtube videos.
    I would like to know which are the main traits of this glass and hence, what styles of beer are recommended for it. I hope it's not a bother.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    David

    Try Google. I hear they are good for European lagers and ales

    I used to have a similar shaped glass branded by Zatec (Czech pilsner). I didn't drink any pilsners with it though. I mostly used it for saisons and Belgian tripels. I agree with the above that it is pretty versatile.

    Definitely a versatile glass, the fluting/flaring helps with the aromatic qualities of most beers for sure.

    Ballast Point uses a very similar one as their primary glass, I believe

    Welcome! That glass will work well for almost all types of ales. It is very versatile, as already mentioned. I wouldn't use it for lagers but it's all a matter of personal preference. Try out a few different types of beers with the glass and see for yourself what you like and don't like about it.

    Just googled it - that's just a tulip isn't it?

    I know a true and proper tulip flares a bit more at the mouth, but the glass labeled a 'tulip' in my Libbey set is identical to what I'm seeing here.

    At my local brewery we use those for saisons and goses, primarily.
