Serious beer drinkers around the world firmly believe that the beer glass that holds the beer is just as important as the beer inside the glass.  Others think that it’s a marketing gimmick.  But truth be told, different styles of beer glasses affect the color, foam, aroma, and the taste of the beer you’re drinking. 

One of the most important parts of a great beer pour is the head.  The head of a beer, or foam on top of the beer has a very important job.  The head makes sure that the fruity esters, hop oils, spices, and yeast fermentation byproducts all stay within the beer to provide you with the best beer drinking experience.  So, what beer glass do you choose for the beer you’re currently drinking?  Here’s a list of recommendations for the beer glass you should use for each style of beer.
