The right glass for the right beer matters.

Here's a London Gangster making his presence felt Oop North in "Get Carter"...

There are several on-line theories about this: Jack Carter wants a thin glass because:

he's originally a local, but his London accent made the barman reach for a dimple mug such as effete Southerners drink from;

he's expecting trouble and a thin glass breaks more easily to become a weapon;

he's a Hard Man being hard - unblinking, unsmiling, arrogant - for the benefit of anyone watching;

he's displaying Big City refinement picked up with his accent and good suit.

The title of the original novel was "Jack's Return Home", so my money's on 1. I'll give a nod towards 2 because his mere presence back home is a problem for the local bad guys. 3 comes naturally since he's an enforcer for a London mob and "Hard Man" is part of the job description. 4 is, IMO anyway, incorrect.

*****

More often different glasses are because beer styles like Weizen, Berliner Weisse, Altbier, Kolsch etc. have scent and character beyond just Served Ice Cold, and the glass shape - as with wine - is meant to complement it.

Belgian beers are the same: here are the glasses for Orval, Hoegaarden, Gordon and Kwak. There are many more.

That said, if I was able to zip into the Augustiner am Platzl for ein Maßkrug Dunkles vom Holzfass (litre mug of dark beer from a wooden cask) I'd be there - fingersnap - just like that, and @dduane would be right behind me.

It's been too long... :->

How does one monitor and control fermentation temperature for optimal results?

Fermentation is a crucial part of the beer brewing process that transforms wort into beer. During fermentation, yeast consumes the sugars in the wort and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. The temperature at which fermentation occurs can have a significant impact on the flavor and aroma of the finished beer. In this article, we will discuss how to monitor and control fermentation temperature…

Every day I'm so mad that I don't have a full kitchen broadcasting setup (or the time / physical space to invest in that right now). I watched part of a video about some guy cooking hot dogs from one of those licensed nerd property cookbooks, & no hate to this specific video guy but I did not really like his video & it made me go "I should make my own some day". The thought of going through those weird video game property cookbooks & seeing if they're any good or not sounds fun. The people are clamouring to watch a weird 30-year-old woman eat mediocre hot dogs in front of a live audience. And I felt such a genuine pang of sadness when I realized I can't do that right now LOL

How does one adjust water chemistry to achieve desired flavor profiles?

Water chemistry plays a crucial role in the brewing process and can have a significant impact on the flavor profile of a beer. While some brewers may choose to use distilled or reverse osmosis water and build up their own mineral profile from scratch, others may want to adjust their existing water source to achieve a specific flavor profile.
