Glassware

Beeradvocate.com has a great article about the importance of the correct glassware for the style of beer you're about to enjoy. Not all beers are created equal. Some beg to showcase their dancing carbonation while others are brewed to have an extraordinary aroma. Some brewers have actually engineered their glass before they have actually brewed the beer. Beer glasses come in many shapes and sizes. All of them have a different purpose.

I personally own eight different glasses that are used for a wide variety of styles. Here is the article that goes into more detail about the different styles that correlate with each glass. For me my glasses are like trophies. Each glass has a different story to it. For example my Carlsberg England World Cup Commemorative Glass was **cough** stolen **cough** for me by my buddy that went to England. The glass that means the most to me though is my generic Arrogant Bastard pint glass. Beside it being a great glass that can hold a wide variety of different styles in it, Arrogant Bastard was the beer that got me into drinking craft beer. Everytime I drink a beer out of the glass or glance at it on my shelf I remember my first ABA! Do you have any glassware stories?
