Becher

Does the word in the headline ring a bell? It didn’t for me when I saw it on a can of Brutiful Day Brut IPA from AleSmith.

Becher is a shortened name. It is a German Pub glassware choice also known as the Willi Becher or Willybecher.

It is close, in style, to the much maligned shaker pint with a slight inward push near the top giving it a more sleek look in my opinion. I don’t know what aromatics make the glass appropriate for the Brut style but I will experiment since I do believe I have one of these glasses in my vast collection.
