You’re not the only one with a fancy glass now, wine drinkers. The Samuel Adams Boston Lager Glass was the first glass specifically designed to showcase our beer as the brewers intended, delivering the optimum full-flavored taste and aroma.
TIAX, the world-renowned sensory experts, worked with Jim to identify functional design features to showcase the key attributes of Boston Lager, which included: delivering sweetness from the malt; maximizing the hops aroma and flavor; maintaining the ideal temperature; supporting a rich and creamy head; and sustaining the right amount of carbonation.
A unique angled lip delivers the beer to the right points on the drinker’s palate producing the optimal drinking experience. The neck and lip design also helps sustain the head of the beer, which enhances the release of the signature Noble hop aromas found in Boston Lager.
To keep the brew cold, we used a narrower glass base to reduce the impact of heat from the drinker’s hand. A laser etched nucleation site within the glass creates bubbles for constant aroma release.
We suspect many of you have “borrowed” our patented glass from various fine establishments across the country – or perhaps you got yours after taking the post tour trolley to Doyle’s? We’re not here to judge – but if you want to snag a set of your own, they are available on our e-store.
