We might need to start a ‘beer bong challenge’ thread here. I can see someone putting down 2 750s of something über-strong in the near future. Maybe we have the beginnings of a new Jackass series of films, centered on craft beer? Don’t laugh, who knew about Pinot besides the French before sideways
Hahaha! That was incredible! Well done, Scott, well done! Now we need to get all the beer geeks to post this on ratebeer and beer advocate and get it viral!
As for the original post, I have a few different types, but I have found through several comparisons that the glass doesn’t really matter. For anything really nice, I use one of several wine glasses or a Duvel glass, and for anything else, I’ll put it in a pint glass or one with straight sides. For the nicer beers, as long as it angles inward as it approaches the top, anything seems to be fine.
Having “the right” glass for beer is no different than having “the right” glass for wine. A beer lover could probably get away with having two or three glass shapes, and all would be fine.
That said, it’s fun to have different glass shapes, and I do notice very subtle differences in how some shapes present the beer within.
As to the original question: I own 13 unique beer glass shapes. You can tell from the pics I take which ones I use most often.
