Do you want a glass?

Glasses were the topic of much debate today. Not the type which slip down your nose at inopportune moments, but the type you drink beer out of. The Belgians love beer glasses. Each brand has its own distinctive glass. In the UK, we tend to stick to variations on a theme of pint and half pint. Weights and Measures insist on this for pubs, but when at home I like to try beer in brandy glasses, snifter glasses, stemmed flutes, or indeed anything which helps the presentation and, primarily, develops the 'nose' or aroma of beer. Try it out, you might be (pleasantly) surprised.
