Believe it or not, but a pint glass might not be the best choice for a lager. A proper pilsner glass is tall and slim to allow the bubbles to rise and create the head. This good-looking glass also showcases that appetising pilsner colour.

But a pilsner glass does more than make your beer look spectacular, it helps bring out the lovely bitterness that is a big part of the pilsner experience. When you drink from a pilsner glass the beer is automatically brough to the back of the tongue where you find the taste receptors that detect bitter. That is also the reason why you always swallow the beer at a beer tasting – and leave the car behind.
