The Big Sexy Beer Glass is not for the light of heart. It is an big ole snifter matched only by the enormous flavors of the Imperial and Dark Beers being poured in it's voluptuous form. The term imperial is used in the craft beer world to refer to an extra-ordinarily strong beer, be it an Imperial India Pale Ale (DiPA), a Russian Imperial Stout, or just about any high ABV/High Gravity version of a traditional beer (Imperial Oatmeal Porter anyone?!?). The snifter form allows for maximum aromatic focusing, as well as provides some serious surface contact area for your hands to warm the malty, boozy brew poured inside. Tasty tip for drinking most of these High-Gravity Beers- Take the brew out of the fridge for about 30-60 minutes before pouring and serving. Most of these beers are best at Cask Temperatures...around 50-55 degrees.
The new solid bottom gives a great heft to this glass while allowing us to feature a rotating pattern or image as the beer muses whisper inspiration to our glass blowers.
