German Glass
Beer Glasses & Co: When Beer Dresses Up
Men invented beer. Immediately after, they began to discuss how to drink it. Thousands and thousands years past, a definitive conclusion has not been reached yet, anyway we can say it exists a quite common opinion on how to adapt the shape of the glass to the characteristics of the beer. This has led to a wide categorization of glassware and the beer-style they best exalt, very well described, for example, on the glassware section of Beeradvocate.com. But, of course, there are countless variations.
While at RateBeer.com, they don't care too much of the size and shape of the glass, and just advise to escape the famous American shaker pint glass, as it works bad – they say – no matter which kind of beer you pour into it, at the Beeradvocate side thought is quite divergent: beer must be respected, presentation of beer is a scientific matter.
The theory is simple stated: since (fortunately) you cannot find, as for men and women and many other human accidents, two identical beers all over the world, and then each beer has its more or less appreciable taste, each beer also should have its unique glass.
If you consider what incredibly variety of beer glasses inhabits the earth and, on converse, the incredibly variety of people searching and collecting them, you are really tempted to believe this theory. Belgian brewers are firmly persuaded that each of their excellent beers deserves its own specific glass. Beer glassware is a matter discussed no less than beer tasting and beer making.
But which factors enter in the engineering of a beer glass? First of all, functionality. And, first of all again, aesthetics. Of course: a good beer glass should be conceived to exalt the taste of a specific beer. For example, a rich aromatic beer will benefit by a tulip glass, helping to trap the flavour and creating and maintaining large head. You can take it to the mouth by the stem, so that your hand does not alter the temperature of beer. And a pilsner glass will showcase the colour and the clarity of your pilsner. In 2007 the Boston Beer Company wanted to create the perfect glass for the Sam Adam Boston Lager. They worked hard to find out the right shape that could improve the experience of drinking a Sam Adam, with a look to the marketing side of the operation and disregarding the aesthetics, as it can be clearly seen. Just to have an idea of how seriously the engineers attended their mission: Sam Adams glass has the bottom etched to guarantee a constant release of bubbles!
Just to contradict the "one style - one glass" principle, in 2006 two Italian beer experts teamed to design the first universal beer tasting glass. Intended to put in evidence the characteristics of every type of beer, the glass was called TEKU, from the first syllables of the names of its creators (Teo Musso and Kuaska) and it is now produced by Rastal, a German glassware company.
Most people may be conquered by the design of beer glasses rather than their functionality. David Hill reports in its blog how he was fascinated by the classic clean form of Kolsch beer glass, the first time he saw one, at the Richard Sapper studio in Milano. You can find the same classic line in German Ritzenhoff beer glass design, but always married to a fine decoration, which may make it more difficult to appreciate the clarity of beer, but it is pleasant by itself. And what say of Lolita beer glasses? They are pilsner glasses hand painted by Californian artist Lolita Yancey. No doubt that here aesthetics overcome functionality. Here aesthetics overcome functionality. So, where is the right point where functionality and aesthetics meet in a balanced mix, to produce an agreeable and functional glass? Difficult to say, or maybe even too easy: it's at the glass you like most. Use this and enjoy the pleasure it can add to your drinking experience.

If this German woman sincerely repented, would she be forgiven?
Herta Oberheuser was a physician at the Ravensbrück concentration camp from 1940 until 1943. Oberheuser killed healthy children with oil and evipan injections, then removed their limbs and vital organs. The time from the injection to death was between three and five minutes, with the person being fully conscious until the last moment. She performed some of the most gruesome and painful medical experiments, focusing on deliberately inflicting wounds on the subjects. In order to simulate the combat wounds of German soldiers fighting in the war, Herta Oberheuser rubbed foreign objects, such as wood, rusty nails, slivers of glass, dirt, or sawdust into the wounds.
I would find it hard to believe that someone capable of that could sincerely repent. However, I am not God, and only He knows what is truely in the heart. So, her soul would be in God's hands, no one else can make that call or even guess at what God would do.
Why does Germany LOVE to Recycle glass?
