Glassware for beer has been a frequent topic on this blog. From having too much of it, the recommended proper glass for different styles, correct cleaning and most popular, new and “improved” glasses.
Now Elevated Craft and their Kickstarter for the Hybrid Pint Glass is here and it lands squarely in that last category. You can see the “tech” in the image below:
Got a couple questions off the bat. One being that now I have to buy special glass thar fits into the metallic section? Why not make a metal base that fits a shaker pint which I already have oodles of? Second, why a bottle opener at the bottom? I can’t say 90% of craft beer is in cans because I don’t have actual numbers but just walk into a decent beer shoppe and you will see how needed that is. And also, who doesn’t have one or three bottle openers already?
I just do not see what incremental change this gives us but what do I know, the darn thing has all the funding it can handle.
