Crafting the Perfect Beer Glass
Lots of people are hot on this new beer glass from Samuel Adams. It’s a really well designed glass, and it’s as if the designers took two different glassware styles, the Pint glass and the Tulip glass, and crossbred them. The result is the best of both worlds; the vessel is both a tulip without a stem and a pint glass with sexy curves. Yes, it’s just a beer glass, it’s not going to change the world, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t make the afternoon beer a tad more enjoyable.
Focus on Design and Usability
“We wanted to create a glass that offers beer lovers a full sensory drinking experience by fully showcasing Samuel Adams Boston Lager’s complex balance of malt and hop flavors. This glass achieves that mission.” -Jim Koch
Tiax, the world-renowned sensory experts, worked closely with Jim to identify and evaluate the functional design features needed in a glass to showcase the key attributes of Samuel Adams Boston Lager®. The key requirements for the perfect glass for Samuel Adams Boston Lager included: delivering sweetness from the malt; maximizing the hops aroma and flavor; maintaining the ideal temperature; supporting a rich and creamy head; and sustaining the right amount of carbonation.
Key features include:
- Beaded rim to release flavor and aroma as the beer enters your mouth.
- Laser etched to release constant stream of bubbles.
- Outward turned lip delivers beer to the front of the tongue where malty sweetness can be fully enjoyed.
