The original SPIEGELAU Craft Beer Glasses

The Spiegelau Craft Beer Glass collection comprises of five custom shaped glasses for the styles IPA (India Pale Ale), Stout, American Wheat Beer, Barrel Aged Beer and Pils.

Expertly crafted, tested and approved, the unique shape of each SPIEGELAU Craft Beer Glass has been developed through a series of design and tasting workshops in collaboration with master brewers from leading American Craft Beer Breweries.

We are constantly looking to innovate new glasses to support the multitude of styles and amazing array of aroma and flavor profiles that continually redefine the Craft Beer category.

Introduced in 2013

IPA

In collaboration with two of the leading IPA brewers in the United States, Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head and Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada, Spiegelau has created the new standard for IPA beer glassware.

Designed to showcase the complex and alluring aromatic profiles of American “hop-forward” IPA beers, preserve a frothy head, enhance taste and mouthfeel, and present a comfortably wide opening for the drinker to savor each beer, Spiegelau’s latest design is the go-to vessel for enjoying IPA.

Introduced in 2014

Stout

Following in the footsteps of their hugely successful IPA glass project, Spiegelau has partnered with two of the leading Stout brewers in the United States, Left Hand Brewing Company from Colorado and Rogue Ales from Oregon to create the ultimate tool for enjoying Stout beer.

Expertly crafted, tested and approved, the Spiegelau Stout Glass accentuates the roasted malt, rich coffee and chocolate notes that define the Stout beer style while maintaining the functional design characteristics Spiegelau beer glassware has become known for.

Introduced in 2015

American Wheat Beer / Witbier

In collaboration with one of the leading Wheat Beer brewers in the United States, John Mallett and Laura Bell from Bell‘s Brewery, Spiegelau created the newest Craft Beer glass – setting the standard for Wheat Beer glassware.

This glass is designed to enhance the delicate, floral and fruit scented aromatic profiles of American Wheat Beers and Belgian Style Witbier, preserve a frothy head, improve taste and mouth feel, while presenting a comfortably wide opening for the drinker to savor each beer.

Introduced in 2016

Barrel Aged Beer

Barrel Aged Beers represent the height of a brew masters talent and passion. The impartation of long-term wood aging on fine beer makes for the most complex expression possible in terms of the aroma, taste, mouth feel and finish of these special beers. Barrel Aged Beers are truly a connoisseur’s choice.

The Spiegelau Barrel Aged Glass is the result of a two year development project in partnership with the brew masters of four of the world’s great producers of Barrel Aged Beer: Great Divide Brewing Company of Denver, Colorado; Green Flash Brewing Company of San Diego, California; Uinta Brewing Company of Salt Lake City, Utah and Cigar City Brewing of Tampa Bay, Florida.
