Although we simply drank our beer from the bottle or can for years and enjoyed it excellently, we got into the glass some time ago. We used to think that only scoundrels drank their barley juice from glasses, but today we have recognized the benefits and wouldn’t do it any other way.
The first advantage is the optical component: Instead of remaining hidden behind brown glass or metal, the color of the beer shows itself in all its glory when you pour the drop into a glass. In addition, this is the only way the foam crown is formed, which, with its scent, creamy texture and appearance, should definitely be part of the drinking pleasure. The glass also has a positive effect on the aroma. Flavor nuances can develop better in the glass. The beer can breathe, similar to decanted wine, and the ideally shaped glass rim can ensure that the brew reaches exactly the right places on the tongue. A good glass flatters the hand, stands stable on the table and presents our favorite beer in the best light.
A great candidate for a whole range of different beer styles is the Brewhouse mug from the Vulkan Brewery. The shape, which opens upwards, transports the beer into your mouth in a pleasant and effective way and is also very comfortable and light in the hand.
