When it comes to beer, not all glassware is created equal. Sure, you could pour your favorite ale into whatever container you have lying around and successfully deliver beer to your mouth. But there is a reason why particular beer styles are traditionally served in specific types of beer glasses. It isn't just for looks (although looks certainly play a role.) Rather, the different shapes and styles of beer glassware on the market were, in many cases, designed to make more pronounced or otherwise enhance the aromatic compounds inherent to different kinds of beer. And as we all know, smell greatly impacts how we perceive flavor. Ergo, the right beer glass can take your beer-drinking experience to new heights.
