Beer glassware guide: Glasses every beer enthusiast needs
Sponsored by Luigi Bormioli
Drinking your craft beer from a can or a bottle? You could be majorly missing out on its complex flavors. To get the most out of your beer, and to really appreciate all of its flavorful notes, choosing the right glassware for your favorite beers is a must-do.
The reason? Much of beer’s flavor — whether it’s the hops of an IPA or the citrus notes in a summer seasonal — are detected through the nose and that aroma has a strong effect on the palate.
Just in time for Father’s Day (and the outdoor dining season!), we’ve teamed with the glassware experts at Luigi Bormioli to match beers with their best glassware that will help them reach their complete flavor potential. The eco-friendly glasses are made in varying shapes and sizes to optimize aromas and customize the beer-drinking experience. Plus, a “Foam Control System” helps master the perfect pour, maintaining a fine and persistent stream of bubbles to reinvigorate the foamy head.
If you’re shopping for a gift for dad, do a little personal recognizance in the fridge and take note of his favorite brews. Then, gift him with some glassware that will enhance his appreciation for craft beer. Or, if you’re hosting backyard barbecues this summer, stock up your bar cart with the right glasses for every guest’s beer preference. These Italian-crafted glasses are dishwasher-safe and created with a special SON.hyx technology to strengthen the glassware while retaining its shine.
