Glassware for Beer

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.

Surprise: I love beer! But despite my love for beer, one thing you may not know about me is that I’m very passionate about working out and helping others to reach their fitness goals. This being said, you can probably imagine how elated I was when I was able to merge both of my loves together at my latest visit to Cypress Brewing Company.

A Review: Stout Beard Brewing Company

I recently had the pleasure of grabbing a flight at Stout Beard Brewing Company while on my way to see a show at the Westcott Theater. Stout Beard Brewing Company is located in the Westcott neighborhood of Syracuse, NY. Its proximity to the university makes for a diverse community: home to professors, students, and residents of all income levels. Westcott holds an annual cultural fair celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of the neighborhood with food, art, live performances and cultural activities.
