Beer connoisseurs would know that designs of the glassware can impact the taste of beer.
In a quick summary, the shape of the glass can influence the foam head’s development and retention; the foam acts as a net to trap the volatiles in beer; volatiles are the compounds that evaporate to create the beer’s aroma.
Some breweries engineer the glass for the type of beer they serve.
For a standard beer glass specific to India Pale Ales (IPAs), German glassmaker Speigelau teamed up with Sam Calagione, CEO of Dogfish Head Brewery, and Ken Grossman, co-founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co..
The ‘Speigelau IPA glass’ design works by showcasing varying aromatic profiles of the American ‘hop forward’ IPA beer—it preserves a frothy head and volatiles and maintain a comfortably wide opening for the drinker to ‘nose’ the beer.
