Shaker pints, move aside. Michigan’s Bell’s Brewery and Austrian glassware manufacturer Spiegelau recently launched the American Wheat-Witbier Glass. The glass, designed to elevate the experience of drinking American wheat ales , features a voluminous bowl that “harnesses and retains the delicate aromas” of wheat beer and an open-bottom glass base that “drives beer and aromatic foam upward into main bowl,” according to the company and brewery.
Spiegelau has previously worked with Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada to create an IPA-specific glass and Left Hand Brewing and Rogue Ales on a glass designed for stouts.
