I feel like ease of washing is another strong point of non-tapered glasses. I don't want to have to pull out a bottle brush every time I wash a glass.
Pint glasses are fine, and this video is mostly subjective bunk.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Its a proven fact that wine "pros" have a hard time telling the difference between a medium and high quality wine while blind.
For beer, you really shouldn't need to bring out the bottle brush unless there is sediment or something. Really even soap is unnecessary unless you left it overnight and it has dried on the glass.
Bars like this have glass dishmachines with super powerful sprayers that shoot sanitizer up into the glasses.
@@shawno8253 its proven fact? where did you hear that i wanna know
@@thats_odd I originally heard it from Adam ruins everything but I didn't believe it and went looking further. I found other articles that said the same thing. It basically boils down to them being inconsistent with their judgements.
The seamless jumpcut edit at 1:31 shouldn't go unnoticed. He started and finished that sentence in two completely different takes but I doubt many notice at all. As a relatively new viewer who has been binging his content for the past few weeks, it's been incredibly fun to notice different photography and editing skills he's picked up and improved on throughout the few years he's been doing this. One of the best channels on youtube in terms of content and quality.
Adam's got a pretty good editing style going for him, simple and utilitarian, matches him and his channel perfectly. His production style shares the spirit of his recipes in that it's straight forward and never crosses the line of diminishing returns in terms of effort. But that being said, it's SO far from being one of the best in youtube. Not even top 10 in terms of just the cooking channels I personally watch lol. I'm talking just about the editing and production of course, I'd say his recipes are some of the ones I'm most likely to make.
Him saying "without dribbling all over yourself" while his hand is soaked in badly poured wine is the cherry on top. This must not go unnoticed people
Damn nice observation skills. No way i'd have noticed that without this comment lol
Small correction: photography is when taking photographs, videography/cinematography is when taking videos/film ;)
@@te0pol159 I know you meant it nicely, but photography is definitely used as a synonym to cinematography. See the term "director of photography" for cinematographer, or the first sentence of the Wikipedia article on cinematography "Cinematography (from ancient Greek κίνημα, kìnema "movement" and γράφειν, gràphein "to write") is the art of motion picture (and more recently, electronic video camera) photography. "
Belgians take this incredibly seriously. Every beer has its own glass. If you mess it up, they will deport you.
Love Belgian beers, love a good tulip glass!
Well same as your neighbors, Germans ;)
But we wouldn’t allow him to enter the country, since he called such like the Kölsch glass to be horrible!
@@MetallicReg also the Gerippte and Maß glasses, heresy
I get a bit peeved when I order a Kwak and they serve it in a different glass. They get a lot of spills when they do use it tho so i understand having to ask for it specifically. I guess some people won't realize the bottom is round and needs to be put back in its stand. Whoops!
Whenever I’m back in Wallonia it is my tradition to buy another Chimay glass, just so I can give it to another friend back home so they can try the beer properly 😂
The shaker pints aren't even good for stacking, I've worked as a dishwasher enough to know stacking them is a good way to crack a glass. Also, plastic ones are perfectly shaped and form a seal when you stack them, so this makes unstacking them harder than it should be.
Hence the invention of the nonic glass to be better for stacking.
lol i've been a dishwasher too and when the bussers stack those glasses, it sure is a pain to get them free
You're notbsupposed to use them for shaking, either, unless they're made of tempered glass.
@@barneylaurance1865 TIL the proper name for those. Always just been “pub pint glass” for me!
Plastic glasses are good for filling the single serve coffee maker or filling glasses for cats and dogs. I can't stand to drink out of them!
One thing I've noticed when drinking tea out of a Turkish tulip glass is that the curve helps keep the bits of tea leaf on the bottom while the tea itself is poured out as you sip. I find it really annoying when drinking from a regular mug how either you end up accidentally drinking those bits and they feel weird in your throat or you have to leave them floating in a depressing puddle on the bottom of the cup. A tulip glass solves this problem.
Oh! I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder. 🥂
Why do you leave the tea leaves in your cup?
@@joshwilliams7692 gets stronger as you drink, also might be a culture thing idk
@@ianrodabaugh4674 That seems funny to me because I just make the entire cup to the strength I want. But I can see how it could just be one of those things you do for no particular reason, just because you always have, and you like that familiar experience.
Strong Turkish tea with sugar, out of a tulip glass tastes magnificent.
Hearing Adam say "make it clap" while pulling in real close was not the Thursday afternoon I was expecting, but I'm here for it
I was in disbelief when I first heard it
Life changing moment
Thanks for commenting on this. Someone had to. I'm still processing.

I already went through a beer glass snobbery phase. I loved the different beer glasses. I didn't like how I acted around other people, though.
Whenever someone finds out the deeper elements of a subject they go through it. Imagine how I acted when I first got into experimental music and my friend would put on something from the radio LMAO
@@dirtysploof5890 fav artists?
@@reeseruss The Residents, Death Grips, Boredoms/Hantarash, 100 Gecs, and Melt Banana come to mind but ahh i could never pick
Being correct doesn't help in a social environment
One of the first real things I was taught in wine school: "Champagne flutes and coupes are the worst vessels to drink sparkling wine out off for opposite reasons. The flute doesn't allow you to smell the wine, the coupe makes all of the carbonation dissipate too quickly". In hindsight, it makes a ton of sense. Proper glassware really enhances the experience, especially if you're drinking something a bit more special than Two Buck Chuck. The first time I tasted pinot in a real pinot glass was incredible.
Coupes are perfect for single-serve desserts though! lol
I feel like calling yourself pretentious doesnt exempt yourself from being actually pretentious.
It encourages people to be more creative than the insult you're handing them.
I just like drinking out of fancy glasses makes whatever I’m drinking tastes better
and
It doesn’t exempt pretentiousness, but it does notify everyone not interested in the relevant brand of pretentiousness to avoid engagement.
It is truth in advertising however
I like that last line, Adam basically saying "For the love of God, go outside every once in a while"
Touch grass is unironically some of the best advice you can give someone
"Pls Touch grass"
@@OmegaSMG *touch glass

The glasses, the glass tap handles. This feels like a fever dream from college during the hipster days. That name is perfect. This is now my logic for why scifi bars look like they do. No need for stacking glass, every beverage has a bespoke container as intrinsic to the cocktail as any other ingredient.
I did once buy a set of cylindrical vases, to drink my Romulan Ale from. Erm, I mean Creme de Menth syrup.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 What about your Klingon blood wine?
@@anon_y_mousse I've never purchased any such thing. Don't be silly.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Then you make your own from Targ blood?
One added advantage of the normal tumbler is it's far easier to clean. Also the ver cold glass would also work for mulled beer.
not just stackable, also easier to clean
and easier to drink out of.
@@PaulaBean A wide opening is inherently harder to drink out of. Because the liquid is not being condensed to flow directly into your mouth. Its why trying to pour from one shaker pint to another you very often get spilling and "dribble" down the bottom. That's why basically any pitcher-type vessel that is meant to pour liquids into smaller containers, has a tapper and or a spout.
@@introvertedrobot3681 Sure, if your mouth is an anus. What, do you eat out of a tube? Never seen a dumber first-world problem than this.
True that.
@@introvertedrobot3681 yes. Though, your wrong. Thankfully we have lips, mouths and faces to attach to said glass. Negating any dribble. Unless you forget to attach your face to said beer.
Make it clap
Mr. Ragusea caught lackin
I'd add that the shaker pint is good for another thing: they're very easy to clean in a home dishwasher.
The idea that a pint glass sucks is ridiculous.
It's not they're horrible at every job they do. @@hxhdfjifzirstc894
0:30 I'm honestly surprised to see what "normal" beer glasses (the pint glasses) in the us look like. If you order beer in a restaurant in Austria, you get different types of glasses, depending on the type of beer, but never those pint glasses
It depends a lot on the bar, I find. For sure, a basic everyday bar that serves ice-cold Bud Light by the pitcher will just use the most space-efficient and indestructible glasses it can find. Glasses get more 'proper' in microbreweries, though some of them, I think, purposely use a pint glass as a way to indicate "don't worry about it too much" or "we're not here to be snobby" - a sort of response to the admittedly real problem of beer snobbery that can happen sometimes.
Prost!
@@CallMeShuri in germany its litterally the breweries supplying the bars and restaurants with glasses for beer. each establishment pretty much has one "main sponsor" and you will see that most beers on the menu will be from this brewery and be served in the proper branded glassware for the beer.
sometimes bars will have a couple of brands for their glasses and use the ones matching the beer
@@TheScarvig It happens for mid-sized breweries over here - the ones on the bigger end of the "microbrewery" legal term, most often. For the macro-breweries such as Molson, Coors, Bud, and the like, there may or may not be logo'd glasses depending on the establishment. But overall, it's "common", and not a hard-and-fast rule. Micro-breweries, very case by case basis. They either have glasses with their own logo, or they use generic glasses. It's pretty much all over the place.
This may be true for restaurants but in a craft beer pub you may see these glasses quite a lot.
Love these kind of videos; I live for Adam going out and interviewing people!
In Yorkshire, England (despite their 'frugal' reputation) they might appreciate that stacked head. I, on the other hand, believe you can put some actual beer in my glass and stop trying to rip me off.
even in the north thats faar too much foam. literally worse pull ive even seen in my life.
yeah, all this talk about aromas, temperature, maybe learn how to serve the thing you're supposedly an expert of, lmao
I feel like Pretentious is one of the breweries that made others in Knoxville really step up their game. And let's be honest - their tap handles are gorgeous.
I feel we got so much quality out of this one. Loved seeing someone so passionate about the art of it
I have been an Adam fan since the "Is marinading worth it" days and I think this is your coolest video so far. Awesome job :)
Will you do a Part Two to this, another episode covering the history of those glasses traditionally used for different styles of beer (English ale, German lager etc)?
This title is why I insist on only drinking liquids from a Mrs. Buttersworth bottle.
Based and syrup pilled.
Side-question - do beer afficionados actually like beer foam on top? Like... so many videos tell to pour at an angle to *minimize* the foamy bit. I kinda assumed that a large amount of foam was unwanted.
you just wait while it collapses. you’re _supposed_ to off gas excess carbonation. it also cuts down own burping by a lot.
@@slipperynickels ah ok. Thanks!
Different countries, different froth.
It will depend on the style. Many styles work as you say, foam should be minimized. But some especially in Bavaria, Czech republic use the foamy head to do fun things with your taste buds/mouthfeel.
As said, it differs by a country. In Czechia and Slovakia we love to have the top 50 - 100 ml of the standard pilsner beer as a foam slowly changing to liquid over time. If the foam forms visible rings on the glass after each sip, that means the beer was tapped in the correct manner. Personally I taste the foam as a first thing and sometimes it's better than the beer itself, I try to taste it also in styles like IPA or stouts which don't have much foam at all. There is also a special tap version of Pilsner Urquell which is basically only foam, but that's kinda extreme :D
I’ve been to this exact place before. The beer was equally delicious at home in a normal glass as it was in their glasses.
I agree that general shape is important, but I still feel like a lot of glassware is needlessly complicated.... until I saw that glass with the mountain inside, that is both functional and beautiful. Very cool.
@@twothirdsanexplosive Damn! They have 2 glasses with my local mountain on it. Very tempting. Thanks for sharing.
Hey adam, I was going to do my engineering dissertation on the design flaws on various glasses, thanks for this, I will start it next year but this is a great video to help me start :)
I might try and design a glass like this that can also stack? I'm thinking via alternating the direction of the glasses, one face up, one face down, to stack. I'm sure there's some geometry that allows that. Officially creating a glass with all the benefit of these and pint glasses. We'll see though
@@jakejones8225 Interessting, I could imagine the weight point of glasses to be bottom heavy, which if i did understand you correctly would make face up/down stacking complicated.
@@jakejones8225 I'd be very interested in this, subbing to your channel. If you ever get something going, please update us!
Yes! Please link us to your thesis, if you manage to get it digital. I for one would like to read it
Please include the bota bag, pottery whiskey jug, stainless flask, camelbak, and sippy cup in your research.
The more flavorful the beer, the more noticeable a curved glass will be (in my experience). My favorite type of beer is dark lager (lager, a bit different from stout or dark ale), and pouring it into a curved glass and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes is just incredible. As it gets warmer all the flavors comes through in a different way. It's more intense, but the intensity of a dark lager is more like a good dark roast coffee; all the nice beer-y and caramelized tones to balance the bitterness of the hops. If it has been left to sit much of the sharpness of the CO2 gas dissolved in the beer will have dissipated and it's really pleasant. I prefer dark lager to be cooler than room temperature, but it doesn't have to be by a lot. Kind of like red wine I guess. (Budvar dark is my favorite atm, both because it's super good in its own rights, and only costs about 1.70 € for 50cl where I live.)
Bars where I live have adopted curved glasses with a straight lip, but with the foot of a wine glass where I live. It's used for more flavorful beers (anything that isn't on the blander side of lager). Seems they find it convenient since they can be hung above the bar just like the wine glasses as a compromise of not being stackable. Though, for bland lagers drinking out of the can or bottle will make whatever flavor there is to get a similar benefit to a curved glass. If you drink e.g. the American Budweisser cold and directly after being opened in the can or bottle it's a lot better than letting what little aromatics there are escape as you pour it.
Also, my working theory is that the spicier the food a geographical area has traditionally, the blander the beer. They seem to be noticeably correlated. If you go to the British Isles the traditional food isn't spicy, but if you go to e.g. Southeastern Asia the food is spicy but the beer not so much.
Tbh I think the local heat and humidity within southeast Asia which contributes to wanting our beer just to be alittle focused on being cold and on some level 'cleaner'/refreshing? That and it kind of pairs better with spicy food too? It's like the cold to balance the hot
Spent all of March in South Korea. Can confirm that somaek (soju and light lager) is the most popular choice for drinking
@@Hao-hi3yb I think so, and the beers lighter in flavor sure are preferable when I'm on the beach
Here before the title is changed
I personally don't desire a lot of foam on my beer, but wavy shaped glasses are prettier and prevent big dribbles. I might not buy into all this but I'm glad that dude gets to do what he loves every day. Blow glass and make/drink beer. The life.
I consider this video to be mainly bunk because so many subjective opinions were put forward as fact. And none of the differences mentioned will be more important than what beer, fresh or stale, temperature, etc.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 The idea of trying to control the temperature based on how much the drinker grips it is... bizarre, honestly. It might matter if you're draining each glass within 10 minutes, I suppose. It really doesn't make any sense if you're taking 30-60 minutes to savor it.
@@Corrodias Yeah, it's like he's taken the idea from a Cognac snifter and tried to apply it to beer. There might be some beers that taste 'better' when warm, but I AIN'T DRINKIN' 'EM.
Always appreciate to see my fellow glass makers get some love
3:00 I sure do love a glass of beer that gets served to me half empty and warmed up on the counter for five minutes.
There's an argument to be made for having a large initial foam head, allowing some of the excess carbonation to escape from the beer won't make you feel as bloated if you only have a few brews. That being said, I think what's shown in the video is outrageous, and if you drink enough beers you're going to get gassy anyway
probably costs $14 too
I love shaker pints to drink out of. I hate mason jars. The threading gets in the way and breaks any sort of seal my mouth can make while drinking leading to lots of dribbling.
Hey Adam, for more on the science of bubble formation (or any other phase transformation within a medium) look into Classical Nucleation Theory. The same theory also explains why you can do that neat trick where you can over-cool a liquid in your freezer which freezes when you pour it out. I'm working on my doctorate in materials science and we use this theory to explain lots about transformations in solid systems, but it can also be applied to liquid-solid (freezing/melting) and liquid-gas systems (bubbling or evaporating). Cheers!
I started the day watching cavitation bubbles in submarine propellers and am about the end on this. LOL. (Yes, I'm watching too much TH-cam. Don't judge.)
why should he learn about the La Mer model if he just wants to enjoy beverages and food😭
Going in and watching the glassblowing is fascinating and fun. Highly recommend it. The workers are very friendly and happily explain what they’re doing. 👍🏼
Love it!
That kind of craft is impractical in most situations...but that's what makes it craft!
How much better can you get than a place that brews its own beer and hand makes the glass ware they think it should be drank out of?
So cool
In my opinion something that is much more important than what kind of glass you drink out of is that you are drinking out of a glass and not, say, a can.
Yes, and what beer you have, whether it's fresh or stale, and what temperature. Which glass is so far down the list that it's practically irrelevant.
2:58 "Make it clap"
- Adam Ragusea c. 2023
I can’t think of anything more spectacular than having a drink while I’m watching glass being made!
AWESOME! Highly interested in more videos about tableware, glass or ceramics! Of course with food in it 😋
Meanwhile I drink out of the can or the bottle because it tastes just fine that way too.
I think for the most part, the average person can't even really notice the small subtle changes in flavor and perceived flavor notes in most beers. It's the same with coffee, a lot of people really just don't pick up on the subtle flavors.
I agree that cans or bottles can be fine. Pint glasses are fine. And I agree that the differences are subtle. Subtle enough to be basically the last thing one should worry about. But I do think you would notice a difference from pouring that bottle/can of beer into a cold pint glass. Not necessarily better, just different. And convenience is likely to be more important, because relaxing is part of drinking beer.
Plus, as you get more intoxicated your sense of taste kind of.. dies.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Oh yea, a cold glass is more important than anything else.
A lot of taste differences between things are “in your head” (for the lack of a better phrase) rather than being inherent qualities of the two things
That’s why the classic British pub pint glass bulges outward towards the top. It stays stackable but also narrows for the top just like the mason jar. It’s pretty much exactly a midway compromise, which is of course very British.
But the much tighter-topped glasses you’re showing in this video are quite similar to traditional whisky glasses. They’re smaller than beer ones of course, which is probably why pubs over here tend to keep some in stock even though they don’t stack.
It's more compromised towards the stackable shape than the "ideal" shape. "Midway" is too generous lol
@@AlexanderNash of course it’s far from ideal, I called it a compromise :p
The "stack pour" segment is pretty funny to me, especially how enthusiastic he is about the springy, marshmallowy head. Here in Czechia, in recent years, this style of pouring beer (we call it "double pour") is coming really out of style. The dry head is seen as unnecessarry (you can't really drink it, after all) and the modern style is to draft the whole beer in one go (with the end of the tap actually submerged in the beer; this might be against hygiene policies in some countries) and end up with a very wet, creamy, level head that is actually very enjoyable to drink. But the stack pour has definitely been the most popular here for decades and you can still see it in smaller towns or from old-school bartenders. Also, it might be a difference of what style of beer you're drinking; we mostly drink very straightforward pilsner style lagers. A typical 50 year old Czech has drunk more lager than you could swim across and has never heard about top-fermented ales.
If you're from Czechia, instead of America... I hope you understand how most people in America don't listen to anything people like this bartender say. We call them 'hipsters' and they are universally mocked. They are known to have terrible taste in beer, and drink only IPA.
All I can think of in that ProZD skit about Vertis and Horis, lol
This was really cool, and I need to check that place out next time that I'm in Knoxville.
There's such a cool craft beer market there, I was surprised how many basically just sold growlers or on site. Best brewery I went to last time and my current favorite anywhere is Crafty Bastards.
Watching glassblowing while drinking a beer out of a glass that was made by the same glassblowers sounds so cool
Nothing beats a frosty shaker pint that has been chilling in the freezer after a hard day in the hot sun.
I am enjoying this video, thanks for the info Adam!
You give me all this new cool beer knowledge and end the video on a life lesson. Not sure if to feel thankful or personally attacked. Great vid!
Adam, keep this up! Love the content, as usual! I'm a huge fan of beer, would love to see some more beer content!
To elaborate, it would be cool if 2-3 times a year you went to a brewery and detail what makes their beer awesome through the brewing process. Just a thought, you keep doing you!
wow theres chemistry in everything!!
Those tap handles are really cool. Gives me some ideas for some crazy stuff.
Here in the UK, we have a variety of beer glasses, but the traditional dimpled mugs have a slight taper in them. They were quite unpopular until a few years ago.
Unpopular because they didn't shatter, and coupled with the handle made for an excellent impromptu weapon.
I think they were popular when pubs didn't have glasswasher machines and had to wash glasses by hand (the dimples help you grip the glass in the sink and the thick glass makes it durable). They were replaced with straight glasses as pubs got glasswashers and so the concerns about handwashing didn't apply and straight glasses are cheaper.
They have reappeared in recent years thanks to hipsters...
"Friends are cool to talk to online, but try them in another context like a bar sometime and you might see a whole other side of them" that's one of the best shades i've ever seen, Adam
This is the sort of intelligent explainer content that first got me subscribing to this channel. Thanks, Adam.
So all those times I spilled beer and drool down my front, it's not because I was a sloppy drunk - it's because I had the wrong glass? Hang on..
"Alexa, order me a new beer glass with a tapered opening, and two gallons of bathtub gin, stat!"
These kinds of deep dives are probably my favorite on Adam's channel. Great work.
I think it's the "2 gallons" part
^That's why I drink my gin from a sippy cup.
3:02 if you served a beer with a head like that in the UK you’d have the glass lobbed right back into your face
Right? Pretentious is DEFINITELY the word for his whole style.
@pausebreakreviews I mean you like what you like but I’d not be happy with half my pint being head. Ideally it should be 10%. Speaking as a former barman, people don’t take kindly to a massive head.
I suppose it’s different when you’ve paid £15 for half a glass of locally grown organic hemp hops with notes of hazelnut and chocolate on the posh end of town. To me a good beer is cold, fresh, poured through clean lines, clean glass and some class banter with the barman if you fancy it.
Loved this video - so informative. Loved the different beer glass shapes. Thanks Adam!!
That was a very fascinating and informative video! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Is that the default pint glass in the US
Our pint glasses in the UK tend to start quite narrow, bulge out, then taper back in.
The "British Pint" or "Imperial Pint" or "Queens Pint Glass" does show up on this side of the pond for sure (sign of a good bar/brewery). It's the far superior glass to the "shaker pint" that he talked about. But, when *most* people talk about a pint glass; they are indeed talking about the shaker pint.
Even though they suck at their one job, I own about 100 of them from different breweries.
The glassblowers I know don't make drinking vessels, but the "wholesale" price of their production works out to roughly C$1 per minute it takes to make a piece, and that's been oddly consistent for about the last 20 years around here.
I did a glass blowing class in Venice... So much fun and so cool.
I love those glass tap handles! 😍
Great video as always! Hey can we get a pressure cooker research type video?
The video has been out for 5 minutes

Well that was a smooth transition to a different shot/recording.
Even the audio mixing was good until you took a second hearing.

I appreciate this video a whole lot. Also, I can enjoy a 42 oz bottle of Old English malt liquor out of a plastic bottle, to this day. Thanks dude. I love your nerdiness.
I love these sorts of videos
As a Belgian, gotta say if a beer doesn't have a dedicated glass you're not being pretentious enough xD
Seriously, just about every brand of beer has it's own glass and it's considered a sort of heresy to not match your beer to it's respective glass if it's available
And Pauwel Kwak made up some fantasy glass in the 80's for marketing purposes.
@@PaulaBean And it's still the "right" glass according to unwritten law
This is why we don't take Belgium seriously. And why the Brits BREXITED.
Can't believe you told us to try talking to people sometime LOL
I checked the site, saw the glass, wanted it, then saw the price, I would buy it, but I’m so broke that the embodiment of broke would hand the title to me.
I know it’s probably not mass produced, but I’m not rich rich, I could use that 50 dollars not on one cup that I would shatter immediately due to my clumsiness, but on a nice meal on my birthday or something, or some clothes, or maybe just save it just in case of a tough situation.
I love his glass tap handles! they're beautiful
Imagine waiting over 5 minutes to get a beer that’s half foam, I’m avoiding this bar
Looks like the trick Heineken tried to pull in the Netherlands. More foam than beer.
Man that bar owner is really good at marketing to suckers...
I gotta check this place out it looks and sounds awesome
My only requirement for a drinking vessel is for it to not be made of plastic.
I did not realize that head was something desirable in beer. In fact, I've always heard head described as a bad thing.
I guess that's why I'm not a beer drinker.
Like generally I think people like a little head, but no more than a centimetre definitely. These beer pours look genuinely terrible, if I was handed those heads at a bar I would ask where the other half of my drink is
@@cormacmckinstry2195 I can agree but remember those had very bulbous bases instead of a narrow base and a wide top so a there is way more alcohol in the base of that glass then the standard one thats probable why he has pretentions in the name of his bar because the average bar person doesnt think about this stuff because its not that important (in my opinion)
I'd be Cummings too if I sculpted glasses that look like those.
I have many styles of glassware for different drinks, but aside from cocktails I drink everything - beer, wine, whisky - out of my Riedel Riesling glass. I had four but three broke because they explode when you so much as sneeze. But there’s just something decadent about the delicate stemware and they are the perfect size for not too much, in contrast to most red wine glasses.
One practical benefit that you touched on is you can hold the thin bowl when the drink is too cold and you can hold the stem when it’s the right temperature.
I did not really explore Knoxville until my last semester at UTK and seeing this video reminded me of my regret of not going out as much in college, now I have to go back visit some friends and check this place out!
I am unconvinced by the reasoning given in regards to the temperature of the beer - water (or beer, being mostly water) is pretty hard to heat up, especially through a thick glass (glass doesn't conduct heat all that well), and I just don't think it would heat up that much from your hand while you drink it versus just staying on a counter. Could you do an experiment with a thermometer and a glass or two and see if that is true?
Taking out a calculator and googling some numbers, I get about 30 seconds to heat up a glass of beer through heat conductance from your hand by one degree, if you hold it tightly.
I assumed 5mm thick glass, 1.38 glass heat conductance coefficient, 150 square centimeters hand+fingers area (seems about average based on googling), 30 celsius hand temperature, 13 celsius beer temperature, half a liter of beer in the glass.
So, maybe it makes a difference? Still, seems worth testing.
Speaking from only experience (completely unscientifically of course) I've spent some might say too much time drinking pretentious beer with pretentious brewers (myself being one). And you can absolutely heat up a beer just by holding it.
My guess is because it's conductive heating opposed to convective. (direct heat vs. through the air in case I mixed those up)
You don't need to do math, you simply need to drink a beer to know it's true. If you want to do math, I suggest focusing on the diminishing carbonation level over time, as exposed surface area (dependent on vessel shape) to volumetric ratio is increased. This is why the dregs are the dregs... by that time they're much warmer and have lost almost all carbonation.
As a homebrewer I love having different glassware for different brews. I must say a pint glass is actually perfect for many of the more quaffable beer styles. As mentioned it does not restrict the stream of beer allowing nice big gulps when desired.
This makes me so hungry. It is beautiful and I can't wait to try it
They say that Diogenes only owned two possessions: a barrel he lived in and a cup he drank out of.
One day, they say, when he was already of a very senior age, he saw a boy cup his hands to drink water out of a stream. "What an old fool I am!", Diogenes screamed as he threw his cup away.
Lol pretentious is indeed the word that fits if you know what glasses makes what beer taste good haha
Tall glass container with narrow neck/head to "funnel" the aroma and liquid to your nose and mouth respectively, hmmm 🤔 a bottle sounds perfect doesn't it.
Totally agree on the pint glass. It's for mixing.
The guy said something about "probably even makes Coke taste worse." Which is true of any glassware. Cola is best consumed directly from an aluminium beverage can kept cold enough to make you have to pass it between your hands at least once during consumption.
@@SimuLord glass coke taste infinitely better
One nice thing about the pint glass is that it works great in combination with a laser cutter/etcher for making some cheap, custom glasses for use with things.
Of course, I also have other options
I thought the title was going to socially imply why glasses were shaped like that, but no? Idk why the title is like that if it has no relevance to the content.
Pretty sure pouring a half-foam jug of beer is a captial offence in most european countries. it hurts to watch
They're called 'vicars' because of the thick white collar - Working men would start a fight if you didn't fill the glass to a full pint. AFAIK, it's still illegal to not provide the legal measure of.
IMHO, if you're THAT worried about the glass you're drinking from, you certainly have larger issues
Thanks for this.
I love the Pretentious Glass Co, and their beer!

I like my beer in a pint class with minimal head. Drinking foam out of a lightbulb just ain't for me.
Yaay, classical Adam’s content is back!
If I'm ever back up in Knoxville, I'll be sure to visit this place! We miss you in Georgia, Adam!
This is bro science lmao
And so this is a video about a certain type of beer bro 😎
@@gnatdagnat its about types of glasses
Okay so it's beer bro science
@@gnatdagnat exactly, which isnt adams usual style, he usually has references coming out his arse.
I don't agree with the way he pours the beer.
As a german i am ofended by his „Beer“ with 50% foam
Yeah, he's an idiot.
Loved this.
"make it clap" bruh i'm dead
Belgians, Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, and Austrians are probably all cringing in sweet unity at the moment.
Good video, though.
