THE BREWS Quick Facts
THE BREWS GLASSWARE
Imperial
An imperial pint is another traditional and iconic brew glass. The glass is made to hold a British imperial print of 20 imperial fluid ounces (568 ml). These glasses became popular in the United Kingdom in the early/mid-20th century, replacing tankards (pewter, ceramic and glass). In the UK, draught beer must be sold in imperial measure and steps are required to be taken to ensure that a pint of brew is indeed a pint. Imperial pints come with certification in the form of a crown stamp indicating that the certification had been done by an agency of the Crown.
Goblet
Goblets are one of the larger, more extravagant types of glasses. Goblets, also known as Chalices, have a long thick stem with a bowl sitting on top. Goblets are a great choice for heavy, malty beers, such as Belgian ales and German bocks. The wide opening of the glass assists drinks in analyzing the overall flavor profile and aromas of the brew.
Tulip
Tulips are a popular glass designed to trap and maintain the foam head. The tulip helps enhance the flavor and aromatics of hoppy and malty brews. Like Goblets, this type of glass have a small stem and footer with a unique, tulip-like bowl on top. The top rim curves outwards, forming a lip that helps ensnare the foam head. The bulb-like bowl allows drinkers to generously swirl around their brew, releasing the full aromas.
Steine
Not to be confused with the German Steine glass, which have a hinged lip and lever for thumb, the BREWS steine is a mug that holds a lot of brew. Common all over the world this type of glass comes in all sizes. The main characteristic of our steine is its wide cylindrical shape with a handle on the side. The thick glass walls help insulate the brew to keep it cool, while the handle helps prevent hands from inadvertently warming the brew.
Nonik
One of the two most traditional and iconic brew glasses, the Nonic is a popular classic. The generic shape boasts universal appeal and provides a versatile serve for numerous beers, ciders, ales and more. Similar to the imperial pint glass, the nonik pint has a narrow base which expands out to a wider mouth. It’s defining feature is a bulge a few centimeters from the top of the glass. Typically these are 20 oz glasses so they are especially good for larger bottles of beer, growlers or kegs.
Pilsner
Popular in America and Europe, pilsner glasses are tall and skinny with little to no curvatures as it goes up. The pilsner glass is designed and used primarily for lighter beers. These glasses hold less brew than a pint glass. The slender design allows drinkers to appreciate the colours and carbonation bubbles within the brew. The slightly wider top of the glass also helps retain the foam head of the brew, and bring out its true flavor profile and aromas. The BREWS pilsner glass is a footed pilsner glass.
Thistle
Thistles glasses resemble a stretched-out version of the tulip glass. It has the same stumpy stem, with a bulb-like bowl, but it is slightly taller and has less curves around the lip. The thistle glass is typically reserved and designed for Scottish Ales, as its named after Scotland’s official flower. These glasses are commonly used for stronger brews, such as double IPAs, Belgian ales and barleywines.
Wooden Tanker
The word “tankard” meant any wooden vessel (13th century) and later came to mean a drinking vessel. Tankards are offered in large and small sizes approximating to pint and half pint capacities. Throughout history these types of glasses have been used as the chalice of choice for brew drinkers. The BREWS wooden tankers come in a variety of materials that are not available with other glasses.
Schooner
A schooner is a type of glass for serving drinks in the UK and is also known as a sherry glass. In all states except South Australia in Australia schooner means 425ml or three-quarters of an imperial pint. In South Australian pubs and clubs, the schooner refers to a glass with a capacity of 285ml.
Stemmed Pokal
These classy glasses can be used almost interchangeably with conical pint glass as well as add a little more flair to the brew you are enjoying. They sit on a stem that is about an inch tall and have a foot to ensure that the glass isn’t easily knocked over. The narrow mouth combined with the slightly larger bottom ensures all of the aroma of the brew is directed to your nose and mouth when you take a sip.
Pilsner
Popular in America and Europe, pilsner glasses are tall and skinny with little to no curvatures as it goes up. The pilsner glass is designed and used primarily for lighter beers. These glasses hold less brew than a pint glass. The slender design allows drinkers to appreciate the colours and carbonation bubbles within the brew. The slightly wider top of the glass also helps retain the foam head of the brew, and bring out its true flavor profile and aromas. The BREWS pilsner glass is a footed pilsner glass.
Dimpled Mug
Traditionally used in England, these mugs are now very popular in America, where people love how sturdy they are. The sides are mostly straight, while some do have a slight curve to them. These mugs come with a strong handle, and the dimples serve a dual purpose. Not only do they make the mug easier to hold so you are less likely to spill and have an accident, but they also make it very easy to measure how much brew is poured.
Das Boot
Boot shaped glasses first appeared in England in early 19th century. By the mid 19th century, the beer boor made its way to Germany and became very popular. The tradition of drinking beer from a boot started in the military as a hazing ritual. Young men were initiated into their troop by having to drink and entire boot from the foot of another soldier. Boots come in a variety of glasses including 2 liter, 1 liter and 0.5 liters. Drinking the boot requires technique with the toe facing left or right. Leaving the toe facing up ends up in a face full of brew.
IPA
An IPA glass is a specific type of barware, designed specially to enhance an IPA’s flavor. A great IPA glass will feature a tapered bowl to enhance the aroma of the brew, along with nucleation points and a ridged base. These are small etchings at the bottom of the glass to help aerate the brew while its sipped. The BREWS IPA glass is also known as Spiegelau’s IPA glass. It holds 19.1 ounces and is easy to swirl.
