The etched circle at the bottom isn't decoration—it's a nucleation point that creates continuous bubbles and maintains beer head. Science that costs $4 a glass.

Craft brewers helped design this angular beauty specifically for stouts. The shape captures roasted, chocolate, and coffee notes you'd miss in a standard pint.

Casual drinking? No—a tulip glass works well for most styles. But if you have a favorite style (IPAs, stouts, wheat beers), purpose-built glasses noticeably improve the experience. Start with tulips, add specialty glasses for beers you drink often.
Dirty glass is the #1 cause—residual soap, oil, or lipstick creates nucleation points. Make sure glasses are "beer clean" (no residue, rinse with water before pour). Also check: beer too warm, pour too fast, glass too cold.
Controversial opinion: no. Frozen glasses create excess foam and can numb your taste buds. Room temperature or slightly cool glasses let you taste the beer better. Frosted mugs are a marketing gimmick for masking cheap beer.
The tulip. Its wide bowl captures aroma, the narrow top concentrates it, and it works well for IPAs, Belgian ales, stouts, and even lagers in a pinch. If you can only buy one style, make it tulips.
