I have a problem—a glassware problem. If it’s a vessel made to carry a specific beer, I probably own it. Some of it is tradition, how some glasses are almost ceremonial in their approach to beer, but I know there’s more to it than that. So, when people ask me, “Hey, moron! What difference does it make?” or “How can it possibly affect the taste of the beer?” I have some simple answers.
Don’t Be an Ass, Use a Glass!
Beer Reviews
Nonic Pint Glass
Beer: Pale Morning Ale
Brewery: Hoppers
Hoppers’ Pale Morning Ale pairs perfectly with the Nonic (pronounced “No knick”) pint glass. Its broad opening allows the beer to coat the entire tongue, washing this hop-forward beer over every taste bud. The glass works well with lighter beers that are well balanced with malt and hops.
British Dimpled Pint Jug
Beer: Hopped Rye
Brewery: Moab Brewing Co.
Moab Brewing’s Hopped Rye looks comfy and inviting in this British dimpled pint jug. Primarily designed for grip and durability, its wide mouth opens up perfectly to give your ale plenty of room to breathe, releasing the big hop and rye aromas that this desert hybrid has to offer.
