Frozen Frosted Beer Glasses

[retiredguy123]

It seems like whenever I order a bottled beer at a bar or restaurant, they bring me a 12-ounce, frozen frosted glass. So, I guess I am supposed to pour the entire bottle into the glass and be happy that they chilled the glass for me. This happens everywhere I go. Personally, I don't like large frosted glasses for drinking beer. I never drink beer that way at home. So, I have learned to specifically ask for a non-frosted, small glass instead of the large frosted type. I was just wondering if I am the only one who prefers to drink beer from a non-frosted glass.

[Bill14564]

You are not the only one.

[Shipping up to Boston]

A frosted glass maybe for a root beer float but a cold beer out of a chilled bottle is Americana at its finest

[Ecuadog]

I don't mind a frosted beer glass, just as long as it's not a mug. Not crazy about mugs and steins.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

i drink beer warm, cold, bottles, mugs, whatever.
I just don't drink beer in the winter, its a seasonal beverage for April through October.
You are not alone, but definitely unique

[Two Bills]

Beer!
Frosted glasses?
Sacrilege!
Sounds like that Lager stuff, not real beer.
Cheers :beer3:

Wondering why you only pour beer in small amounts? Most bars have specific bar ware for different types of beer that will enhance the pour. I keep only IPA glasses in freezer, because a citrus beer can be better colder, sometimes I put Pilsner beer glasses in the freezer

Obviously, you are much more sophisticated than I am about beer. Many years ago, beer was never served with a large or frosted glass. They always gave you a small glass, which I prefer.

Note that some restaurants are using a glass that looks like a pint glass, but it is actually only 12 ounces. Shrinkflation?

[Altavia]

The iced mug comes from recommended serving temperature for American Mainstream Light Lagers is 33-40.


Proper Beer Serving Temperatures - American Homebrewers Association (https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/proper-beer-serving-temperatures/)

General Serving Temperature Rules:

All beers should be served between 38-55° F.

Lagers are served colder than ales.
Stronger beers are served warmer than weaker beers.

Darker beers are served warmer than lighter beers.

Macro lagers are served as cold as the Rockies.

Serve beers a few degrees colder than the target temperature, to accommodate for warming from the glass and the drinker’s hands.

Seeing the boot in your message reminded me of a trip we took to Lisbon, Portugal. I ordered a beer and the waiter asked if I wanted the boot. Said sure, why not? Out came a glass boot that had to contain at least a liter of beer. Needless to say that I didn’t order a second beer!

When using a boot, make sure the toe is pointing down, or you could get a splash of beer in your face.

[Bay Kid]

I keep so mugs in the freezer for the 1st beer on nice hot days. I prefer cold bottled beer.

A yard of beer can be interesting as well.

[Blueblaze]

I can't believe everyone doesn't do that! Why would anyone prefer want warm beer from a can when they can have nearly frozen beer from a frosty mug? (Must be that same crew with the burnt-out taste buds, who destroyed the craft beer industry with all those ridiculous IPA's!)

I even go one step further and use plastic freezable mugs with a frozen liquid core. They keep your beer so cold that it actually freezes the beer in the bottom as you drink it. Nothing better than a hit of frosty beer slush to finish off a great brew!

[Topspinmo]

The only way I can drink beer it it’s at 31.9999999 degrees. The coldness allows me to get down. Never acquired taste for beer. Lucky for me cause I had several family members that were drunks. :shrug:

[asianthree]

Obviously, you are much more sophisticated than I am about beer. Many years ago, beer was never served with a large or frosted glass. They always gave you a small glass, which I prefer.

In the early days when you bought a case of beer 2 glasses with their logo were in the case (replacing 2 bottles) those glasses were the actual glass shape for that style of beer. So free nice glasses for price of the case. Coors, Guinness and Mic usually have them At holidays. So blame the 40 beer glass collection on the makers. I keep 8 in the freezer due to lack of cabinet space

Now the sets of 8 of 13 variables of wine glasses were mostly bought at wholesale, won at a class, or gifted.

Cool chart, looks like something from Total Wine or BevMo. Anyhow, based on the chart, a stout glass has a very particular shape. Wonder why then, when one tours the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, they serve you in glasses more resembling an American Pint glass. I still have the glass, so my recollection is fresh.

I enjoy IPAs immensely. Preferably draft.

I guess you don't realize the purpose of chilling beer to ice cold is so you don't taste the flavor.

Serving beer at 40 degrees to 50 degrees brings out the aroma and flavor in the beer. If it doesn't taste good at that temperature then it simply doesn't taste good. Sure, you can freeze it to the point you can't taste it but that's just a little better than holding your nose and drinking fast.

[mrf0151]

And then there is the draft beer they bring you that the beer is flat. This is usually due to the glass not being "Beer Clean" Nothing worse than a flat beer.

Growing up, I wasn't allowed to use a beer glass for milk. I was told that it would ruin it for beer.

[Nevinator]

When drinking bottled beer I see no reason to pour it from a cold bottle into a cold glass. Leave well enough alone.

[frayedends]

IPA is a citrus beer? I'd have to disagree with that, although there may be citrus flavored IPAs. I don't think hops are citrus.

[crash]

Obviously, you are much more sophisticated than I am about beer. Many years ago, beer was never served with a large or frosted glass. They always gave you a small glass, which I prefer.

Why when you are at a bar are you drinking bottled beer when they have the same beer on tap. Most bars when you order a beer from the tap are pouring pints not 12 ozs that you get in the bottle. If you like beer and truly want to taste it it should be served around 45 to 50 degrees F. Americans think the English drink warm beer but that is the temperature they drink their tap beer and never in a frosted glass.

[crash]

IPA is a citrus beer? I'd have to disagree with that, although there may be citrus flavored IPAs. I don't think hops are citrus.

No hops are not citrus but many of them do give a citrus note to the beer if heavily hopped.

If drinking from the bottle you are missing a lot of the aroma and flavor of the beer given off when the beer forms its head.

[Marmaduke]

I love this post! I never thought to request a different glass, honestly! I also like having a beer in a smaller glass and that's the way we drink ours at home. I plan to begin asking for a smaller glass, while out.
Frozen mugs are great for something, just not my dark beer.

[Two Bills]

Any visitor to the UK should sample a pint of Bombardier, a truly great Bitter.
Many bitters are excellent, but a well pulled pint of 'Bomb' is magic.
And definitely not a frosted glass in sight!

PS. In Cotswold areas, a pint of Hooky, from Hook Norton Brewery, is also a very good bitter.

[wamley]

But you have to drink it out of the bottle. The non-frosted glass takes the chill out of the beer..

I’m bottle feed.

[airstreamingypsy]

I won't drink beer out of a can. I won't drink beer out of a bottle, with a screw cap, because I don't like feeling the threads on my lips. I do drink beer out of smooth top bottles, that you need a church key to open. Corona, and other Latin and South American beers come to mind. If someone hands me a beer with a twist off, I ask for a glass.

I drink my beer at room temperature. It is the best way to taste the hops.

Well, if it were true, I'd be able to choke down a [fill in scary name here] IPA, so long as it's served in a frozen mug. OK, if I'm being honest I've never met the beer I couldn't choke down. But the fact is, lagers taste better cold and many ales, especially English stouts, are better at room temperature. It has more to do with where and at what temperature the yeast ferments (top or bottom, cold or warm) than bitterness.

The bitterness of beer is simply the hops, which was never supposed to improve the taste, in the first place. The only reason people started using hops was that it kept the beer from going bad longer, back before refrigeration was invented. Apparently, even microscopic bacteria that don't mind the taste of pond scum draw the line at eating hops! So if you put a massive amount in your beer, you can ship it all the way from England to India in a sailboat before it has to be thrown out. That's why IPA's are called "INDIA Pale Ales".

[TVTVTV]

There is no issue.

Yup, personal preference is what it's about. Just request your glass, frosted or not, or no glass, etc when you order. Just like some people pour their beers over a glass of ice, and some like their red wine chilled or with an ice cube. It doesn't always make sense to others, but drink it the way you best enjoy it.

[AMB444]

Back in the olden days of college yore the beer wouldn't have time to get cold. Many college guys would "shoot" their beers. Anyone remember that?

Now *that* makes sense. I'm all for everyone being allowed their taste preferences, but I sure don't understand some of them. That "bitter" can be thought of in positive terms just doesn't register and I long ago stopped trying to choke down IPAs. No problem with a few cubes of ice also being included in said frosted mug. It *has* struck me as odd that it seems that the "second" beer seldom arrives with that frosted mug. :-) Surely it wouldn't be all for "show". . .

Pouring a beer in a glass frosted or not dissipates the gas stored in the bottle or can and creates a “Head”.
That gas is going to escape the beer either in the glass or in your stomach.
You take your pick whether or not you want to feel bloated or not.

Sounds like a 20 cent beer at the VFW bar to me. So small there's no time for the beer to get warm because it's gone before you put the glass back down on the bar. Frosted giant mugs sound better:beer3:
