I know I’ve mentioned before how perfect I think a pint glass feels in the hand. Here’s an interesting article on pint glasses from Serious Eats.
We have a few American pint glasses and now I’m thinking we need to add some European models to our collection. I didn’t realize the European model holds a bit more. I like the idea that someone thought about how much head a beer needs when poured properly and designed the glass to accommodate that breathing room. I suppose I’m used to hearing about “here’s a tool, design your process around it”. I love the idea of “here’s the proper process, design a tool around it”. So refreshing.
I’m not a beer drinker, but I’ve become enamored with my stemless wine glasses. They just have a different feel in the hand that I like. Plus they are a lot less likely to be knocked over.
We have a few of those stemless glasses and I really like them too. They sort of remind me of Weebles–they wobble but don’t fall down.
