GLASS
Designed by brewers Lorenzo �Kuaska� Dabove and Teo Musso, the glass was initially designed to be the beer equivalent of the ISO, a universal wine tasting glass used by professional wine tasters. And that�s just what it achieves: the 14.2-ounce glass showcases the full flavors and aromas of each beer. A tiny lip that curves outward lets beer roll from the glass right onto your palette. Plus, the wine glass-stem lets you hold your beer without your hands warming up the drink.�

GLASS
The Imperial pint, also known as an English pub glass or nonic pint, is the standard pint glass used in the UK. Similar to an American pint glass, the nonic glass features a bulge near the lip of the glass. The unique shape of the glass adds to its structural durability and makes it less likely to be nicked or chipped than a straight-sided glass. It also fits comfortably in the hand and stacks well. Like its American cousin, the nonic glass is generally used as a multipurpose glass, but some say that the curvature of the glass is best suited to ales and stouts.

Relatively new in the world of beer glasses, the IPA beer glass was created, tested and chosen from over 100 different glass shapes as the one that most accentuated the fruity nose and flavor of an IPA. Deliberately designed, the IPA glass may look unusual, but the unique shape is very effective. The bell shape at the top of the glass pushes the aroma towards your nose as you sip, while the thin glass construction retains temperature. The IPA glass also preserves carbonation and keeps a frothy head longer than a standard pint glass. Use this glass to serve hop-forward beers like American IPAs.

GLASS
It is hemispherical in shape and is used to contain more complex tasting beers, with a richer flavor. It is in fact used for flavored beers, for contemplation. Combined in common knowledge with Belgian beers, it lends itself well to beers that need oxygenation to develop aromas, therefore for Trappist and abbey beers, triples and boks.�
GLASS
Similar to a snifter glass, the tulip beer glass has a round shape that's perfect for swirling. The feature that makes the tulip glass unique is a flared lip that retains froth and carbonation, making it ideal for beers with big, foamy heads. The tulip glass helps to bring out some of the more subtle characteristics of heavy beers. It's most commonly used to serve strong beers like Scottish ales, Belgian ales, barleywines,�Saison, Bi�re De Garde, Gueuze, Lambic, Witbier, Falnders Red Ale, Flanders Oud Bruin.�
GLASS
The American Pint Glass has a simple and somewhat skinny cylindrical shape that gets wider as it goes up. This type of pint glass typically holds 16 oz. and is common to use with most type of beers, including lagers and ales, as well as other styles such as IPAs, stouts and porters.

Goblets are large bowl-shaped glasses with thick stems designed for sipping and savoring beers with high alcohol content. The goblet glass is meant to look elegant, but it also has features that enhance certain types of beer. Etching on the inside bottom of the glass, also called nucleation, forces carbonation upward and helps to maintain the effervescence of the beer. The goblet works well with Belgian ales, sour ales, saisons, farmhouse ales, and barleywines.�

The stange glass (or stangen glass) is also commonly referred to as a strange glass, stick glass, pole glass or rod glass. This type of beer glass is named this because �stange� is the German word for rod� and that�s exactly what it resembles. The stange glass is tall and slender. It�s easily the most boring looking beer glass on this list, but its use can be traced back for decades. No beer glass list is complete without the stange.

Designed to trap and maintain the foam head, the tulip glass helps enhance the flavor and aromatics of hoppy and malty brews. These types of beer glasses have a small stem and footer with a unique, tulip-like bowl on top. The top rim curves outward, forming a lip that helps ensnare the foam head. The thistle glass is typically reserved and designed for Scottish Ales (as the �thistle� is Scotland�s official flower), for stronger brews, such as Double IPAs, Belgian ales and barleywines.�
GLASS
Balloon, whose peculiar shape (short-stemmed glass whose vessel has a wide bottom and a relatively narrow top)�is excellent for some types of beers that have a high alcohol content (Alc.> 8% Vol.). Its wide and rounded profile favors the exchange of heat between the hand and the beer, while the recessed profile manages to enclose all the aromas inside. It allows you to taste very full-bodied beers with an important aromatic profile. (Belgian Strong Ale, Dubbel, Tripel, Old Ale, Imperial IPA, Russian Imperial Stout, Barley Wine).�
GLASS
Easy to hold and drink out of, the tumbler is very similar to a conical pint, but does not have completely smooth sides the way a pint glass does. This design makes it a little easier to hold. There is plenty of room at the opening of the glass to allow your beer head to form, and you will be able to easily get your nose near your drink so you can smell it.�
GLASS
The characteristic boot-shaped glass is of German tradition, the shape is a bit tricky for newbies. Used mainly in Germany, it has a variable size from 0,5 to 5 liters.�
GLASS
This type of beer glass is tall and skinny with little-to-no curvatures as it goes up. The pilsner glass is designed and used primarily for lighter beers, such as pilsners, of course. The long shape of the glass shows off the hue and effervescence of light, golden-colored beers, while the mouth maintains the head and forces aromatics towards your nose.�
