3 Reasons to Drink Beer in a Glass

why serve beer in a glass instead of a bottle

Sure, it’s easier to pass out beer bottles to the crew. And there are times when it’s more economical to serve beer in plastic cups (or for beer pong!) but for a true beer connoisseur, it has to be in a beer glass. Nothing else will do. . . and make sure it’s in the correct glass please.

Here’s why you should drink beer from a glass.

3 reasons to drink beer from a glass
  1. When you drink from a beer bottle you rob yourself of the true aroma of the beer – and when 70% of taste relies on our sense of smell – you’re also robbing yourself from the taste of the brew.
  2. Beer glasses allow a “head” of foam to form and the carbonation assists with the sense of smell (and taste – see item 1) as well as the “mouth feel.”
  3. When we can see the clarity, color and carbonation of the beer it enhances our enjoyment.
