• The body of the glass is slightly tulip-shaped with a gently curved rim
• Suitable for beers aged in barrels, to which it adds a touch of luxury

The innovative Spiegelau glasses for craft beer (Craft Beer) have been approved by expert tasters from among master brewers and industry professionals. Focused on maximizing beer enjoyment, members of the testing workshop tried to find the most appropriate glass shape for 4 beer styles: IPA (India Pale Ale), Witbier (wheat beers), Stout (dark strong beers) and BA (Barrel Aged). A series of modern, functional, unique glasses made in the spirit of Bavarian handmade glassmaking tradition.

Spiegelau Craft Beer glasses have won several important awards for their functional and innovative design: the International Design Excellence Awards ´15, the Red Dot Award 2015 and the German Design Award Special 2016.

The Spiegelau beer glasses highlighting the characteristics of the individual beer styles were developed on the model of specifically shaped glasses according to the individual wine varieties.

With microbreweries and craft beers so popular these days, it would be a shame to miss out on the differences in flavour and aromas, as well as the visual characteristics of individual beers. In an improperly chosen glass even exceptional beers can appear dull and mediocre, their refreshing character and specific texture is suppressed and they soon lose their foam.

Say goodbye to cumbersome glass. Good beer deserves a light, elegant glass that has style! Whether it's a quick beer after work with friends or you're a professional beer connoisseur, the right glass will make every sip more delicious.

• Laser-cut rim for a crisp, clean impression with every sip
• The wide open rim allows you to perceive all the aromas of the beer
• A pleasure that harmoniously combines sweetness and acidity in your mouth
• The slim, curved shape of the glass body intensifies the aroma of hops
• Thin walls to keep beer at the right temperature for longer

The German brand Spiegelau , with almost 500 years of crystal tradition, offers a wide range of wine glasses, tasting glasses, special glasses for specific types of spirits or soft drink glasses for everyday use. However, it is particularly well known for its unique beer glasses. The assortment also includes a range of decanters, pitchers and decanters.

The first-class quality of Spiegelau glasses is guaranteed by a combination of production processes and technical know-how. The glasses are also extremely durable: an independent laboratory guarantees that even after 1,500 cycles in the dishwasher, they remain free of scratches and damage and do not lose their shine.

Behind the long life and resistance to breakage of the glasses lies largely the so-called Platinum Glass process. During the production process, the molten glass is passed through plated tubes to remove any impurities and irregularities. The result of this relatively expensive technology is a glass that remarkably combines elegance, functionality and durability.

All Spiegelau glasses are made from lead-free crystal with a special composition that guarantees long durability, resistance to dishwasher and breakage, and also greater brilliance than glasses made from cheaper glass variants.
