Good beer is worthy of good presentation. Europeans, especially Belgians, have a glass for almost every brand of beer. These are some of the more common types of glasses, with simple suggestions on what kind of beer goes with the glass. Don't be afraid to experiment – a big wine glass will work just fine, and even serving beer in a plastic cup is better than drinking straight from the bottle.
The right glassware can greatly enhance the enjoyment of beer. It showcases the color, effervescence, head, lace and wonderful aromas of a good beer. Pouring beer into a glass helps to bring a beer back to life. Even the lowliest light lager can be surprisingly palatable when served up right: in a glass.
If you want to frost your glass by keeping it in the freezer, be our guest. It's most refreshing, especially on a hot day, but many people don't like the ice that forms and waters down their finely-crafted beer. Sprinkle salt to foment a little bubble riot in the glass. Go right ahead. Hey, it's your glass of beer – have it however you like it.
