🍷Is a universal glass suitable for all beer styles a myth? Numerous attempts have been made in the past to create the perfect glass. While perfection may not exist, the pursuit of it certainly does. A collaboration between the Brussels Beer Challenge and the Belgian Tradyglass has resulted in the Brussels Beer Challenge tasting glass, a solution for sampling various beer styles. We started with the following basic rules: 1️⃣Simplicity is not easy to maintain. Therefore, the glass should be modest/simple yet elegant in design. 2️⃣The glass must be strikingly discreet. The true art is not the glass, but what is inside it. 3️⃣The glass should display the art that flows into it in the most beautiful way. This means a glass that respects the color, allows the aroma to blossom, and offers a discreet 'Touch' when drinking the noble liquid so fine it seems as if the glass isn't there. 4️⃣Durability is very important to us. The glass must also be sturdy and able to withstand multiple washes perfectly. 🔝The result is an elegant and strong glass that brings out the best in all beer styles. The aromas and flavors of the beer are exceptionally well-preserved due to the shape of the glass. 🌲🌿 🍋 🍯The aromas are retained, and the influence of the environment is minimized by a small bend at the top of the glass. 👃The curvature at the bottom of the glass ensures that the aromas are released when swirling. 👄The thin rim guarantees a subtle sensation on the lips, a silky caress to the lips is part of the experience. 🙌The elegant stem is comfortable in the hand and prevents warming of the noble drink. It's always painful when the person who cooked says first, "Tasty, isn't it?" But we are proud of our creation 💪 We provide your beers with the best conditions of assessments 👍 🖥️ Entries are open on our website until October 7th (early bird rate until August 15th).

It's safe to say that humanity has had a love affair with beer for a long time. And when we say long, we're talking thousands of years. A few things have changed though. Where once we guzzled simple ale out of goat skins and clay pots. Now, you can crack open a cold one straight from the bottle, but if you want the full experience — the flavors, the aromas, the craftsmanship — you're going to need the right glass. If you don't know your snifters from your tulips, or which is the best glass for craft beer, here's a list of 14 types of beer glasses, and what to pour into them. https://hubs.la/Q02psHbl0

Introducing PINHOOK Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys The Whiskey with a Vintage Approach Pinhook’s remarkable bourbons and ryes are rooted in our vintage approach to blending; getting the best from every barrel year in and year out. About Pinhook’s unique vintage approach The vintage approach allows us to appreciate and savor the nuances of each year’s barrels, which are naturally shaped by the barrel, climate, and storage environment.

What makes Pinhook extraordinary + Vintage approach breaks with tradition and invents a unique way to blend whiskey. + Modern bottle design stands out on the shelf and back bar. + Fair price makes Pinhook accessible by all and perfect for cocktail programs. + Higher proof stands up to dilution in a cocktail or when poured over ice. + Unfiltered to retain flavor and texture rather than chill-filtered. A wholehearted welcome to Pinhook Bourbon! #WineCoDrinks #Pinhook #KentuckyStraightBourbon #KentuckyStraightRye #BourbonLovers #RyeLovers

Hey LinkedIn fam, let's talk about a little secret that might be putting off your guests instead of leaving them in awe at your fabulous soirées. Are you committing the ultimate party faux pas by serving your martinis in the same glasses as your margaritas? Are your hurricanes and Moscow mules forced to share the same vessel? If yes, then it's time to level up your serving game with specialty glasses that will boost your hosting game and leave your guests in awe. Coupette: This classic glass is shaped like a shallow bowl with a wide rim, perfect for cocktails like the Coupe, the Sidecar, and the Margarita. Nick and Nora: This elegant glass is similar to the coupe but has a slightly wider base and a narrower rim. It's ideal for cocktails meant to be sipped slowly, like the Martini and the Manhattan. Flute: Tall and slender, this glass is perfect for Champagne, sparkling wine, and Prosecco. Its narrow shape helps to retain the bubbles and keep the wine cold. Snifter: Traditionally used for brandy and cognac, this large, bowl-shaped glass allows the aroma of the liquor to be fully appreciated. Irish coffee glass: With its footed design and handle, this glass is perfect for hot drinks like Irish coffee and hot chocolate, keeping your fingers from getting burned. Hope next time you will hear your guests whispering praises about your glasses. #oceanglassware #glasswareset #martini #whitewines #winelovers #wineenthusiast #wineglasses #wines #linkedinfamily #linkedinconnections

Why Glass Rim Width Matters! The glass is almost as important to the experience as the wine poured into it. From the shape and size of the bowl to the thickness of the rim, the design of the glass is long renowned for having the ability to either enhance or ruin a wine's taste. Here's what you need to know: 1️⃣ Narrow Rims: They send the wine straight to the tip of your tongue, where you can really taste the zing of acidity and the burst of fruit flavors. It's like the glass helps the wine to whisper its secrets to you, making sure you catch every note of freshness and fruitiness. 2️⃣ Wide Rims: They allow the wine to unfold its complexity, revealing the smooth dance of tannins and the wine's full body. It's like the wine is giving you a warm hug, showing off its depth and structure in full. Why does this matter? Well, the way a wine interacts with your palate can change your entire experience of it. The right glass can turn a good wine into an extraordinary one, just by enhancing its best features and allowing you to appreciate its full palette of flavors.

💐 5 #Ettiquette You Must Know Before Holding A #WineGlass Have you been invited to dinner where you will be drinking wine? ⚡️Advice: Don't throw etiquette to the wind once your wine is poured in your glass. 📚The last thing you should be worried about is being judged by how you hold a glass. Instead of fighting or ignoring the issue, arm yourself with a few civilized ways to hold a wine glass. Pull off the look of a #wine connoisseur and you might just become one. ⚡️The Why: • #Social #Appearance: No greasy hand prints on the bowl. • Temperature: Wine stays cooler longer. ⚡️The How: 🔅1. Handle the stem: Grasp the wine glass by its #stem. The stem is the long, slender part that connects the base of the glass to the #bowl. 🔅2. Hold the #glass towards the base of the stem: Place your thumb on one side of the stem, and rest your index and middle fingers on the other side, slightly above the base of the glass. This grip allows you to hold the glass securely while minimizing heat transfer from your hand to the wine. 🔅3. Avoid touching the bowl: Try not to touch the bowl of the wine glass with your hand. Touching the bowl can leave #fingerprints and also increase the temperature of the wine, which may affect its taste. 🔅4. Maintain a gentle grip: Remember to hold the glass #gently and avoid gripping it too tightly. A light hold allows the wine to breathe and the aromas to develop while you swirl the wine in the glass. 🔅5. Use the glass stem for #swirling: When you want to swirl the wine in the glass to release its aromas, do it by gently rotating the glass on the table or by holding the stem between your fingers and making circular motions. This helps to aerate the wine and enhances its #flavours. ⚡️✨ “Etiquette is the ceremonial code of polite life, more voluminous and minute in each portion of society according to its rank.” ~John Ramsay McCulloch ~~~~~~~~ 🌞How did you navigate the wine experience?

Do you think the shape of a wine glass really matters❓ 🔗 Link in Bio https://lnkd.in/drZBjX7 🥂 On CTV’s The Social, we conducted the ultimate taste test with the hosts. Follow above link or check bio for the video. 🐽 Even after I started learning about wine, I’d always secretly believed that varietal-specific stemware was an unnecessary expense, fueled by snobs and glassware companies. 👃 Then one evening, a friend poured some Bordeaux for me in a large, elegant glass at a dinner party. As soon as the gorgeous aromas wafted up from the wine, I realized what I’d been missing. 📢 Good glasses are like subtle amplifiers: their shape, volume, bowl shape and size, and rim diameter enhance a wine’s inherent qualities. The glass doesn’t change the wine itself, just the way we smell and taste it. 1️⃣ Start with one white wine glass: those with a narrow bowl , such as the sauvignon blanc glass, can accommodate most styles of white wine. 🍷 For reds, choose a glass with wider bowl to accommodate the robust aromas of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and zinfandel. ⚠ Pay particular attention to the rim of the glasses. Thick or rolled rims act like speed bumps, essentially spilling the wine into the mouth. 🤤 Thin, straight rims spread the liquid evenly across the tongue and a broad section of the palate. That’s ideal for the prolonged pleasure of wine.
