A New Collection of Glasses
When you visit your local brewery or brewpub, make sure you check out their merchandise collection. I recently took a trip to Duluth and Superior with friends where we ate out at a place called Thirsty Pagan Brewing. It was an awesome little joint with delicious pizza and, more importantly, their own beer. If you come across the restaurant, you can buy your beer (for $5) and buy a Thirsty Pagan pint glass for a dollar more. Great deal. I have started my own little collection of pint glasses, gathered from an assortment of breweries. To my name, I only have 6, but I am only one guy. These are great pieces to celebrate your exploration of the world’s finest beers. Drinking beer out of a bottle is for parties. But if you are taking the time to relax and share a beer with friends, make sure you have pint glasses for all. The proper glass allows the beer to aerate as well as let the aroma flow freely, all a part of the tasting experience. Not to mention, friends tend to ask about the brewery whose name is stamped upon their glass. They are conversation pieces and promote discussion about your beer selection. Glasses from each brewery tend to come in all shapes and sizes, so stock up on several appropriate styles of glassware for your tasting needs. These microbrews are meant to be enjoyed and talked about, so present each beer in its appropriate glassware, and sip it as if you’re at your favorite pub.
