…the right glassware.
Beer afficianados, even the ones not into breweriana and collecting end up with pint glasses and tasting glasses and many other branded glasses but I sometimes wish that I had a complete set of craft beer glassware at the ready for every occasion.
And as much as I love promoting local and favorite breweries via their logo on a shaker pint, I do wish that I could have a set that really shows off the beer in color and aroma.
Something like this…..
…from the Red Envelope website and made in Bavaria by Spiegalau.

Where are you seeing the Modern Times stuff? I have visited a number of places and haven’t seen cans of this anywhere. Either the cans are just so simple that i brush right over them… or I’m blind.
I picked up the cans at Sunset Beer. When I was there, I saw them in both the cooler and on the displays. If they aren’t there the next time you visit, ask one of the clerks to either find them or order you one.
