Home Brewing Supplies – Types of Beer Glasses

The more experience you get as you make your own beer, the more important many otherwise overlooked parts of the process become.

For example, before gaining experience in home beer making, the glass you drank from was probably an afterthought. If it looked pretty clean and did not leak, it did the job of getting the beer from the bottle, can, or keg into your mouth.

But now, as more of a connoisseur of all things beer you have undoubtedly come to the realization that drinking beer from your home brewery is an important ritual and not one to be taken too lightly. Where once any glass would do, now it is important to have a glass that enhances the whole beer drinking experience.

We are all familiar with the standard beer mugs sold by Crate and Barrel as well as many other retailers and they are, indeed, a good glass for many types of beer. But, their best feature is that they are a heavy piece of glassware that won’t break when bringing them together in a toast. All in all, they are just fun to use and are a great choice when savoring the brew isn’t the main point.

Probably the most popular beer glass is the Pilsner glass which came to us from Germany where it was originally developed. Largely due to its use in countless beer ads, it has become the iconic beer glass in America. It does a very good job of showing off the color and clarity of the brew and promotes a good head.

But, there are a few more types of beer glasses that you may well want to add to your home brewery set up in order to maximize your drinking pleasure.

  • The Snifter
  • The Tulip Glass
  • Large (22oz) Wine Glass

These are just three of many types of glasses that can be successfully used. Other types include: the flute glass (most often used with Champagne), the Goblet, and the more traditional Pint Glass.

Whatever recipe you are brewing up, there is a specific glass that will enhance the taste, aroma and all around drinking experience.

Instead of searching the online beer sites endlessly for information about home beer making, simply download the ebook Brew Beer Bible found at Brew Beer Today.com.

The Brew Beer Bible is inexpensive, has an iron clad money back guarantee if it does not meet expectations, and offers step by step instructions on how to always get the best tasting beer out of your home brewery.
