Beer glasses: every beer its own glass

You might think it is just a simple marketing smartness to design different types of beer glasses, and of course there is a marketing component there but there are much more valid reasons like the foam head, smell and taste. There is for example also a big difference in taste if the beer glasses have stems, a stem prevents the warmth of the hand from warming the beer.
Different kind of beer glasses:
- Wheat beer glass (Weizen)
- Pint glass
- Pilsner glass
- Beer stein
- Flute glass
- Goblet or Chalice
- Snifters glass
- Tulip glass
- Stange and Becher
- Beer Boot
- Bowl
- Dimpled mug
- Guinomi cup
- Kölsch/Altbier
- Lager glass
- Shaker
- Stein glass
- Stem glass
- Thistle glass
- Trappist glass
- Tumbler glass (Better known as the Hoegaarden glass)
- Yard, Kwak, Half Yard
In Europe, and especially in Belgium, each brand of beer will often have its own beer glass. There are many bars that will also have beer glasses for every beer brand they serve, and that could be hundreds. If you like to taste beer, but do not have the space to store all those different kind of glasses we recommend to buy just a few for the different types of beer. We recommend a flute, a tulip, a snifter and a bowl. And for the big thirst a big dimpled mug.
So whatever kind of beer you have brewed, there are beer glasses that will match it. You should try it some time, do you taste the difference?
