BEER MAN SiG MT 21 Like the tulip glass, the thistle is a tad more stretched-out with less curvature at the lip. It is fashioned aer the national flower of Scotland; you guessed it, the thistle. It too has a short stem geared for swirling. Beer Types: Scottish ales, double IPAs and barley wines. is attractive glassware has an hourglass figure designed to capture the beer's aroma. e slightly curved out rim allows for a foamy head to form. e wide bowl and short stem make it easy to swirl the contents and release the aroma. Like a goblet or snier, tulip glasses are best suited for dark, strong beers. Beer Types: Scotch ale, Saison, Belgian pale ale, Belgian strong ale, Imperial stout, strong brews, barley wines, high-gravity beers and even some fruit Lambic, Gueuze and Flanders Red. ese glasses may be plain Jane or feature a decorative gold or silver inlay. Either way, they offer a fancier way to enjoy a beer. While the chalice is similar to the goblet, it typically has thicker walls and weighs more. Each comes with a thick stem that makes a seamless transition into the round bowl and a wide mouth meant for retaining a thick head on the beer. Both are ideal for drinking heavy malt beers. Beer Types: Belgian style tripels, dubbles and strong ales. is curvaceous little vixen of a vessel features a wide lip and rounded bowl with a series of ridges at the base. e unique design helps preserve the frothy head while amplifying the complex flavor profile of those hop-forward IPAs. Some even have etching on the bottom that is meant to release carbonation and encourage a steady stream of bubbles to rise to the top. Beer Types: Belgian is brew-specific vessel is precision-engineered for maximum enjoyment when drinking a stout. It features a hollow stem that enhances the foam while delivering the roasted malts, coffee and sweet chocolate aromatics straight to the nose. Meanwhile, the glass's narrow top supports retention of the head. is is a relatively new vessel designed by Spiegelau, a 500-year-old German company, Rogue Ales and Le Hand Brewing Company. Beer Types: Any and all stouts do well in this glass. THE TULIP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
