Captain 3 Droids Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I’ve opened this up so people can comment on what brews suit different glasses, how they may differ etc. To start off, I didn’t really think a different style of drinking glass made any difference, however due to comments etc on this forum I have experimented and purchased glasses to perhaps suit. Well they do make (IMO) a significant difference. However today I really noticed this. I was drinking a lager in a balloon type glass and followed up with a Coopers XPA in the same type glass. It was certainly nice but next beer in a pint glass was just so much better, the hop flavour really came through. I was to some degree, surprised. Other opinions?

Rob Courtney Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have noticed the same brewprint drinks better in different glasses along the journey of secondary. Point in case is tonight with a Bavarian lager at about 9 weeks. The last one I had maybe last week or probably the week before that in the Stella glass was lovely. Last nght I had it in the same glass but was less than impressed with the flavour, almost to the point of thinking the sweet spot is 4-6 weeks but tonight, drinking one from the Headmaster glass and all the lager bitterness with the Hallertau hops just banging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Big difference a glass makes. But a Big Bear Brown Ale into a IPA torpedo glass and it is all head. Put it in a English pint glass and it perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, I put my Lawnmower into that glass, much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an English bitter or the English Pub Draught just aren’t the same in any other glass than the dimple mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 To add to this, I’m drinking an original Pilsner, in the Stella glass great, in the Bitburger just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
