beer (in a glass)

one million years ago when i first drank beer. it was in cans..i then graduated to mostly only wanting it in bottles. i have mixed feelings about draft beer. sometimes it’s amazingly fresh and crisp tasting. other times it’s all watery and cheap and way worse than drinking it from a bottle. i think that depends on how the establishment that serves the beer operates.

anyways, so now what i’m all about is pouring beer into a nice beer glass. especially a chilled glass. why do i enjoy this better? since the beer is in a glass i’m more apt to drink it slowly and actually enjoy and savor the beer. the appearance of ice cold beer in a glass is very appetizing too. overall, i think it just makes for a much better beer drinking experience.

some research i did on finding a good beer glass revealed:
standard beer bottle = 12 fluid oz
pint = 16 fluid oz

glass that is 40 centiliters = 13.5 fluid ounces
a glass of this size is perfect.

CORRECTION:
i bought a 40 centiliter glass and it has more than enough room for a standard bottle of beer. somehow my perfect calculations failed. i imagine a 30 centiliter glass would better fit a standard bottle of beer.
