  • Today we give the humble beer glass it's due. A good glass can enhance the beeer drinking experience while a bad glass, just misses the mark. In this episode of Beer by the Numbers we examine the wide world of beer glassware.

    I usually drink out of an Irish tulip pint glass (by Guinness) for all beers, jut because it's thick and sturdy, and it looks good. Unlike whisky or cognac, beer doesn't do much for me in terms of nose/aroma, it's all about the taste, so I don't see much point in using snifters.

      You’d be surprised how much the glass can influence the taste of the beer.

    In Brazil, we usually are served in "copo americano", which is basically a small, cheap and hard to break cup...

    At the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis where I live they have them bottom pour beers but only with domestic beers just like your Bud Lights so I'd say about equal to a top for beer

    Brilliant video mate. I've definitely got too many glasses. The Spiegelau glass box set is a great way to go. It contains a glass for most beer styles. I have to say I probably use the Tulip glass most of the time. Cheers Dino

    I drink out of a glass mug that holds two cans of Guinness, and it’s just fine. Cost $4.

    Good stuff and good way to point out the shaker pint which is the glass that I hate the most, unless it's a macro where it doesn't matter, lol. Also, the steins also grew in popularity due to disease where lids were used to limit any germs. This actually grew following plagues. Great presentation and cheers!

    • @RodJBeerVentures
      @RodJBeerVentures 7 років тому +1

      Oh, and never, ever ever, serve craft beer in a frosted glass as it limits the flavor and aroma. But, I know you knew that!

    • @BeerByTheNumbers
      @BeerByTheNumbers  7 років тому +2

      You know, I was thinking about the evils of frosted glasses the entire time I was researching this video but somehow forgot to put it in the script haha. Cheers!

    I love the history you add! I've had a bottoms-up pour but to be truthful I was abandoning my craft-beer purism, so I didn't particularly focus on the flavor :)

    I cant say That I follow the law of glass ware, I may accidentally use the correct one from time to time, I dont exactly have a lot of space for a variety of glasses so I have to sacrifice the worrying of having the correct glass ware, but I appreciate the ones that are able to use the correct ones, but very interesting video, you do great research to bring us this information, Thanks Ryan, Cheers Buddy............. Arnolds Quote is cool !!!!

    A good video, I have an old Schlitz glass, like a Pilsner glass but comes more to a point on the bottom. I see them in old beer ads.

    I had a Bud Light bottoms up beer this past weekend. It didn't taste any different but if you ever knock the magnet loose, you're going to get wet...

    • @legolocoguy
      @legolocoguy 4 роки тому

      I think that phrase refers to lifting whichever liquid container you're holding to the point in which its bottom is high up in the air, hence having the bottom of said container up in the air while the other end being right im your mouth while you drink

    Agreed, as a Single Malt Nerd, a Nose Glass intensifies the Experience and same has to be said for a Beer, Recently treating myself to the Spigulau Glasses they increase the aroma hence experience of the specific beer. Nerd out Over 🖒

    Well, the worst experience I have with drinking beer is out of a bottle. I think a straight glass is best, and about 330ml. I find draught glasses, around 440ml, have a similar problem to drinking out of a bottle; it's too easy to be 'rough' with the beer whilst drinking, leading to the last quarter going flat and tasting like shit.

    In Vienna/Austria the bigger glass you mentioned is known as the "Krügerl" 0,5l and the smaller ones are the Seidl 0,33l. But even in western Austria, nobody knows what a Krügerl is. :D I tried a Beer from a clay cup, on a medevil festival and it tasted very good. It keeps the beer cooler too.

    I'm a big fan of the Sauvin glass. Expensive as all hell, but you can fill it with any variety of beer and enjoy it. Greg at Gregs Beer Reviews turned me onto it, as it's the only glass he uses for his reviews. Cheers!!

    @katzenfett9444 7 років тому

    loving your videos! You do detailed research and present the content very well. Just a little, tiny mistake, that’s not really your fault but a common translation error or misunderstanding: The glass you called a „Bavarian Seidl“ is actually called „Mass“ (the a pronounced like in the word „last“) and it contains 1 liter of beer. The „Seidl“ looks much like it but only holds 0.33 liters.

    • @BeerByTheNumbers
      @BeerByTheNumbers  7 років тому +1

      During the last few hours I’ve listened to quite a lot of your videos (at work, so no watching) and the very last thing I’d call you is „ignorant“ :D
      But seriously, if you ever need a translation or a fact check on something concerning German or Austrian Beer, just let me know, I’d love to help.
