With the craft beer craze in full swing, one of the most recent trends that have emerged in the world of beer has been specialty glasses. These drinking vessels are designed to allow the maximum expression of different varieties of beer, enhancing the consumer’s drinking experience.

Here are four unique beer glasses that you should get to know and love!

Tulip Glass

Tulip glasses have a wide, bulbous shape that tapers towards the top before flaring out at the rim. They are especially popular for Belgian Trappist varieties as well as strongly aromatic beers like imperial IPAs.

Stange Glass

Ever wondered what those tall and skinny beer glasses are called? Well, the name is a Stange glass, and they are best used for light German styles such as Kolsch and pilsners.

Short’s Brew Mule Beer Ale brewed with lime and ginger. 4.5% *************** Did somebody say ginger? Holy Ginger Beer Batman, they aren’t kidding. It has that trademark burn the back of your throat thing that only ginger can do. Does it to me anyway. Love ginger? You’ll love this beer.

IPA Glass

One of the world’s most popular beer styles has its own glass. The aromatic, hoppy, and bitter IPA style is best enjoyed in its namesake glass, which helps with aeration and head retention.

Goblet Glass

Ever wanted to feel like a medieval king while drinking a beer? Try using a goblet glass, which is especially perfect when paired with heavy, high-alcohol beers like heavy Belgian ales and German doppelbocks that are best enjoyed sipped.
