FEATURES & BENEFITS
GLASS QUALITY & GLASS SHAPE/SIZE
GLASS QUALITY
Birrateque collection is produced by using Lead-Free High-Tech Crystal Glass SON.hyx®.
The transparency and sparkle of this innovative glass enable the appreciation of the real colour and clarity of the beer and its foam. The synergy between the glass quality and the unadulterated appearance
of the beer will create appealing impressions which will result in unique sensations during the tasting process. The glasses are machine-blown with features typical of mouth-blown although more durable and precise instruments (faithful to specifications).
SHAPES & DIMENSIONS
The shape and dimensions of the glasses have been designed for specific Beer Styles to optimize the typical aromas and the gustatory perceptions.
The unique features of this glassware are:
a) Distribute the beer more widely across the mouth, not just to the center of the tongue.
b) Allow the beer to flow slowly into the mouth avoiding any turbulence. In this way both the tongue and the nose will be able to perceive all the gustatory and aromatic elements (mouthfeel).
c) Avoid the transfer of heat from hand to the beer.
d) Maintain the foam at an adequate level when drinking.This inhibits the oxidation of the beer and ensures its flavour not to be subdued while the diffusion and release of aromas is guaranteed.
Beer Foam represents:
• The beer “Safeguard” as it guarantees the correct level of bitterness. Every beer has its own level of bitterness which can be measured in International Bitterness Units or IBUs.
• The “aromatic conveyer” of Beer.
All of the above is guaranteed by the Foam Control System (FCS) applied to BIRRATEQUE™ glasses. Laser etching at the base ensures that a small stream of fine bubbles are continually released, replenishing the head and
releasing the aroma at the same time.
