BEER ENJOYMENT AT ITS FINEST
SPIEGELAU Beer Classics
The SPIEGELAU Beer Classics collection features style-specific beer glasses designed for different beer styles. It combines the evolution of traditional beer glass shapes with precise adaptation to characteristic aroma and foam properties.
Each glass shape supports balanced aroma development, stabilizes the foam structure, and contributes to a refined perception on the palate. Whether IPA, Pilsner, or Wheat Beer, the Beer Classics collection offers the right glass for conscious beer enjoyment.
DEVELOPED WITH EXPERTS
Function Meets Sensory Expertise
The glass shapes of the SPIEGELAU Beer Classics collection are rooted in functional design with a clear focus on specific beer styles. With the development of the IPA glass, SPIEGELAU began an intensive collaboration with internationally renowned brewing experts.
Through workshops and tastings, the IPA glass was systematically tested and refined. Its proportions, rim diameter, and volume were carefully optimized to enhance the sensory experience and showcase the characteristic aromas of the style.

IPA – A New Phase in Glass Development
The IPA glass was developed in close collaboration with experienced brewers and experts from the international beer industry. During a series of tasting sessions, different prototypes were compared and evaluated to understand their impact on aroma, flavour, and overall sensory perception.
The insights gained helped refine the glass shape, with proportions, rim diameter, and volume carefully optimized to enhance the characteristics of IPA beers. This structured development process marked an important milestone in SPIEGELAU's approach to beer-specific glass design.
