Belgian Beer Glasses
Belgian beer glasses are on sale now at truebeer.com and they are
perfect for highlighting the rich, dark golden beer of Belgium. Many are
decorated with the logos and mascots of the beer they’re named after,
though some are unadorned. Some of the Belgium beer glasses are truly
works of art, or are playful and unusual, like the Pauwel Kwak glass.
This 9 and a half inch tall glass comes with its own stand and looks
rather like a beaker, with a flared top and a slim waist that rounds out
at the bottom. The glass has Pauwel Kwak scripted across the front.
Another
Belgian beer glass for sale is the very stately Lindemans beer glass. A
tall and slender footed flute with a golden rim, it bears four
Lindemans’ labels, including Lindemans Kriek, Lindemans Peche, Lindemans
Pomme and Lindemans Framboise. One reviewer claims that it feels “great
in the hand” and holds more beer than it looks like it’s capable of.
Another
very elegant beer glass is the Urthel tulip glass, which has a stem and
a foot and whose bowl is decorated near the bottom of the bowl with
flowers and the Urthel mascot, who looks rather like a troll, or Egghead
from the Warner Brothers cartoons. It’s a very pretty glass altogether.
A
lovely set of Belgium beer glasses are the Ultimate Trappist glass
collection. These are four different glasses that bear the logos of the
Trappist breweries La Trappe, Orval, Trappist Rochefort and Westmalle.
Orval has a silvery rim while the rims of La Trappe and Rochefort are
golden. They’re all stemmed and footed.
The Lucifer beer glass is
a heavy snifter with a thick stem with an air bubble inside and bears a
flaming Lucifer logo in front, while the Hoegaarden Beer glass set is
two hexagonal tumblers that hold 11 ounces of beer and are five and a
half inches high. They’re rather heavy glasses with ribs that are
pleasing to both the eye and the hand.
Among the blank beer
glasses, or beer glassware that bear no logo, are glasses playfully
shaped like boots, as well as snifter and tulip beer glass sets. The
True Beer Glassware Set is a beer lover’s dream. It features a good,
dimpled beer mug of the type that’s seen in America and is best used for
stouts and porters; a Stange glass that’s good for pilsners, rye beer
and others; a Welzen glass, which is good for wheat ales; a Pokal glass,
good for pilsners, American beers and German and Czech lagers; a tulip
glass, which is good for strong, dark ales, strong pale ales and scotch
ales and a snifter, used for strong ales and others.
Truebeer.com
also sells a half yard of ale that, like the Pauwel Kwak glass, comes
with its own wooden stand and a beer flight stand which holds four, four
inch tall sample beer glasses and has a handle so it can be carried.
Truebeer.com’s Belgian beer glasses are a revelation to those who thought beer could only be drunk from a glass mug or a stein! |
