While many Belgian breweries have created custom glassware for years, most American breweries glassware was the typical pint glass. Now don't get us wrong, we love the pint glass as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Sam Adams really went public with their new glassware a while back, and you'll often see it in their commercials. Now Dogfish Head has decided to come out with their own glassware as well. They were kind enough to send us a glass for us to check out. When we first got it the we liked it, but we were worried the base might be a bit too bulky. We resisted doing an immediate write up and mixed it in to our glassware. This glass has almost become a go to now. Shapes that initially felt bulky now felt sturdy and robust. The shape of the glass always seems to enhance hop aroma. There's some nice subtle styling too, a laser etched logo inside the bottom of the glass and another logo on the base. This is a really cool glass. Even cooler than the glass though is what we hope becomes a trend. We'd like to see more breweries come out with some unique glassware of their own.
