How Do You Present Your Homebrew

[andrewg1978]

How do I serve - Simple

if its your 1st time you are treated like royalty, all the bells and whistles

After that your on your own, you can drink it straight out of the tap for all I care! What ever gets you there!!!!!

 

[KoNG]

From the TaP into a PhAT......

Yep, better to crack a {ahem!} PhAT than ummmm a "tinny" (or should that be a Woody?). h34r:

Usually from tap into a clean, frosted glass from the freezer.

 

[Adzmax]

From the tap to my mouth

No, on an honest note I LOVE beer glasses so I try to use a glass to style but I'll really have to start chilling my glasses I think. Beer seems to pour and look so much nicer that way

True........ there is nothing like drinking a beer from the glass that was intended for it!

in a glass. I tend to give the guest a choice of which one. I also let them choose the beer they have.

 

[InCider]

My homebrew usually presents with a wry grin or cockeyed smile and self indulgent discussions on fermentation and taste. :icon_cheers:

This is often followed by long beery phone calls to other brewers, while walking in ever more elliptical circles in the front paddock.

Glasses get washed out in the morning h34r:

Ooo nice collection Tony.

I'm a bit random with my presentation.
Most of the time I'll give my glasses a good rinse with hot water and let them air dry.
As far as glassware goes, I have quite a decent array at my disposal...Belgian-style chalaces/tulips, German style mugs and ceramic steins, weizen glasses, pilsner glasses etc... but I generally only bring them out on special occasions when I really want to get the full viewing potential out of the beer...ie, to impress someone.
If i'm simply having an afterwork beer, i'll just crack out whatever I have thats clean.
But if i'm sampling a homebrew for the first time and I'm a bit iffy about how its turned out, i'll pull out a goblet/brandy ballon, so I can really get my nose in there, have a smell, and not have to worry too much about it being over/under carbonated.

I know i went to a pub for lunch for friends. They had Guinness on tap Nd i excitedly ordered a pint!

"We only do scooners mate"

Well........... my heart sank!

I had a schooner of guinness and it was bloody nice............ but it wasnt a pint! :angry:

I think presentation plays a big roll in the enjoyment of a beer. If it wasnt, we would all be drinking out of the one shaped and sized glass wouldnt we!

cheers

Guiness tastes much better out of a glass with a handle....dont know why...but it does... :icon_cheers:

 

[peas_and_corn]

I was similarly upset when the elephant wouldn't give me Coopers vintage in pints

 

[Murcluf]

Ales, Stouts, Porters in a pint glass, Wheat's in a Aventinus glass and Belgians in a Leffe goblet and lagers in a schooner glass. Can't believe I put that much thought into serving a beer, funny though since starting home brewing I now find drinking beer straight for the bottle somewhat uncouth. Even when offered a commercial at someones house I've been known to ask for a glass and man some of the strangest looks you get.

 

[SDJ]

Just my 2 cents worth and i will probably upset the purists (wankers) here, when I worked in an rsl club many years ago the head bar steward told me to break the glaze on my beer classes at home, I do this with a dremel tool and a pointy stone bit, most of the time even if I run my gas at 8psi i still have very heady beer from the kegs and pour carefully.
The head stays there right to the bottom of the glass depending on the type of beer I am drinking, pilsners head better that English bitter.
The glasses need to be re dremeled every 3 months or so but what the heck, the beer looks and tatses great.
ps, make sure you rinse the glass after dremeling, glass powder is a good way too get brid of haemoroids!!

I ruins the taste of the beer, just as you wouldn't drink wine out of a bottle unless you were a wino. I've had to stop so many people swigging my beer and they get a real surprise when they get it in a glass, or plastic cup.
At one party I had to dash upto a man and say
"you have to drink that beer in a glass"
"no, I'm right thanks"
"no, you have to drink that beer in a glass"
"why?"
"because its my beer and I say so!"
So I got him a plastic cup and came back a few minutes later and he said it was so good I should go into business.

What time are we having beers this weekend?

[Thirsty Boy]

oooh, glassware porn. I don't think its a hijack, I think it fits right into this thread.

Here's my collection. I want more English style pints and I'd love a "complete" set of the Trappist breweries. Although I'd like more of them, steins are for looking pretty and only for drinking out of when already very drunk... the Stiefel is actually a loner and will eventually go back to its true owner (when he can corner me anyway)
