The Secrets of Beer Science Popularization and Beer Cups

Some beers are suitable for drinking to the fullest, while others require slow tasting. Different Beer Glasses have different effects on beer, and glasses made of different materials and shapes can allow people to experience different odors while drinking, including changes in taste, seeing different color expressions, and feeling more subtle changes.

1. Pint Cup PINT

The Pint Glass is the most common and widely used beer glass. Pint glass cups became popular in the early/mid-20th century in England, replacing glass cups (tin, ceramic, and glass). Even the most common cups have different subdivisions due to regions and cultures.

American pint glass (also known as Shaker shaker):

The basic design of an American pint glass neither enhances nor significantly diminishes any flavor. Consider it as your ordinary universal glass. Suitable for refreshing white beers such as lager and IPA, which are enjoyed in large sips.

English style Pint Cup (also known as Empire Pint Cup): Similar in appearance to similar products in the United States, the only difference is a subtle lip on the edge, making it easier to hold and preventing it from slipping off. Generally applicable to wheat beer IPA、 Amber/Red ale, Port, Milk Shitao, Oat Black Beer, Scottish Beer. Most of them are beer varieties originating from Nagada, England.

2. Pilsner Glass

Pearson Cup: It is made of thinner glass and has a slender shape. The contour is usually slender and conical, with some showing slight curvature and others completely straight. It helps to retain the foam of beer, thus locking the volatile aroma under the nose. Generally applicable to Pearson, lager, wheat beer IPA、 Amber/red ale beer and other beers with good transparency and light taste.

3. Cologne Cup Stange Glasses

Cologne cup: also called straight body cup, it is a cylindrical, slender German beer cup, which can well maintain the adhesion and durability of foam. The Cologne glass is an ideal beer glass for holding more refined beer, as it magnifies the subtle differences between malt and hops. This is suitable for drinking Cologne beer, IPA， Lambic, Pearson, Bok, etc.

4. Teku Glasses

Teku Cup: Magnum purpose cup. Brewing pit friends are almost all enthusiastic followers of Teku Cup. They are competent for any beer style. They are one of the best craft beer cups today. With very thin lips and elegant long poles, they can prevent your hands from transferring heat to beer, and can maximize the retention of foam while keeping the beer at a suitable drinking temperature. Due to its conical shape, Teku allows volatile compounds to splash towards our nose before entering, thereby enhancing perception.

5. Tulip Glasses

Tulip glass: also known as Belgian beer glass, suitable for various types of drinks and occasions. The shape of the tulip cup is like a tulip. It bulges from the bottom first, then bunches in, and finally blooms slightly outwards. The closed neck is to reduce the air contact area and condense the aroma, while the turned out cup emphasizes foam. It is very suitable for beer with strong taste and rich foam, such as Belgian strong beer and dark beer.
