SNIFTER BEER GLASSES (SET OF 2) Description
|
You drink with your eyes, mouth, and nose. A beer glass does more than hold your beer; it presents your beer. Every style of beer has its own characteristics; British style ales can be low in carbonation and malty, American IPA styles pungent with hop aroma, German style light lagers crisp and aromatic, while strong Belgian ales can be strongly aromatic and effervescent. Accordingly, glasses developed in England tend to be ideal for lower carbonation draft ale and stout, while glasses originally developed in Germany run the gamut from tall curvaceous wheat beer glasses and sturdy liter mugs, to delicate Kolsch style cylinders.
Belgium was the first country to use tulip style glasses for their wildly varying ales, with goblets for the most aromatic, and snifter styles reserved for their most potent brews. Beer glasses popular in Belgium reflect the countries reputation as a producer of a wide variety of potent, aromatic ales. The snifter glass is ideal for intense barley wines and Belgian triple styles, as the narrow top concentrates the aroma at the top of the glass. Sold in pairs, these glasses hold 12 ounces, and are 5.5" tall. Made in China or Turkey.
Buy 6 pairs and save: If you order any combination of 6 pairs or more of our World beer glasses, you will get $2.00 off each pair at checkout.

Pros:
|
I received 6 of these for my b-day from the wife. Nice snifters!
|
|
Cons:
|
These are just a little too small for beer. I can see brandy though. These will just barely hold an 11.2oz bottle and that is with virtually no head. Williams brewing catalog shows these as 12.5 oz which is impossible.
