some damn good IPA's out there

Cleaned my garage and found this beauty bottled 2/13/13


Not so subtle notes of moldy fruit and robitussin.

Sounds awesome!

Nice pour.

This is a new one for me and it's damn good.

By the way, for anyone who isn't familiar with the glass in that photo, it's a Spiegelau "craft beer" glass (that one's the IPA glass). More info here: http://www.spiegelau.com/craft-beer/craft-beer-glasses/

They're really good, and really do demonstrate the importance of proper glassware (and, yes, a proper pour, which means an appropriate amount of head - and headspace - on top).

I don't use them all the time, but make a point of using them whenever I'm having a beer that deserves special attention.

(Of course, maybe everyone in the thread is already aware of them, but I felt compelled to call it out.)

EDIT: I should've checked first, huh? They were briefly discussed in 2014, in response to another FD post: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...18#post4337918, so consider my post a refresher.

Hey I need some HT love here in CA. And maybe some other hazy deliciousness. Anyone want to hook a brother up?

Have you visited moonraker yet?

Each of the last few years at the Craft Brewer's Conference, Spiegelau has run a seminar on the importance of glassware in beer tasting. It's basically a big sales pitch for their craft beer series of glasses, but it's pretty effective. They get into some of the technical (gimmicky?) aspects of their design, and then you taste a beer from a standard shaker pint/mixing glass, and then from their specialized glass. The beer tends to be from Rogue (they were a partner in developing some of the glassware), which is a long way from my favorite, but the difference is pretty clear.

One of the weirdest pieces of the demo is when they have you clink glasses (like a toast), and you can feel/hear the difference in the glass due to its relative flexibility. It's a strange sensation, so if you've got 2 or more of their glasses, fill them up and toast - it's like a dull thud, and you can feel the glasses absorb the impact.

At the end of the session, they give you a tasting set (stout, wheat, IPA) to keep, so I'm slowly building up my collection. Now I'm just waiting for them to release their craft pilsner glass.
