Beer Enjoyment at Its Finest

SPIEGELAU Beer Classics

The SPIEGELAU Beer Classics beer glasses are a collection of style-specific beer glasses designed for different beer styles. They combine 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 suitable glass solutions for conscious beer enjoyment.

Developed with Experts

Function Meets Sensory Expertise

The glass shapes of the SPIEGELAU Beer Classics are rooted in functional design with clear style orientation. With the development of the IPA glass, SPIEGELAU began an intensive collaboration with international brewing experts.

Through workshops and tastings, the IPA glass shape was systematically tested and refined. Proportions, rim diameter and volume were carefully aligned with sensory perception.

IPA – A New Phase in Glass Development

The IPA glass was created in close exchange with experienced brewers and specialists from the international beer industry. During multiple tasting sessions, different prototypes were directly compared and evaluated from a sensory perspective.

Differences in aroma focus, texture and balance were carefully analyzed and translated into the final glass design. This structured approach marked an important milestone in SPIEGELAU’s glass development.

Proven Shapes with Functional Intent

The established forms within the Beer Classics – such as the Beer Tulip, Wheat Beer glass and Pilsner glass – follow clearly defined functional principles. Their proportions support aroma release, foam stability and style-specific perception.

The insights gained during the IPA development continue to inform the evaluation and refinement of the entire collection.
