NEW GEAR: Beer glasses to suit your brew
By J.M. HIRSCH – AP Food Editor
(AP) – If you’re going to splurge for those pricey craft beers, you might as well quaff them from glasses that do them justice.
And German glassware maker Spiegelau recently launched a line of brew-specific glasses to help. The company’s Beer Classics Collection offers beautiful glasses designed to enhance three common styles of beer.
The company’s 17-ounce lager glasses, for example, start narrow and broaden to a wide mouth. Spiegelau says the shape helps present “the aromatics of this style of beer and showcases the color, clarity and carbonation of good lagers.”
The other sets include 14-ounce stemmed pilsner glasses and 17-ounce wheat beer glasses. And while the glasses feel light and delicate, all are dishwasher safe.
