Using a vessel that’s too large for the serving is definitely unsatisfying.

@casketbeer.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 7:28 PM

In the same. A 0.3L Willi Becher is my go to.

Damn this sucks. Kwak glassware that fits the old wooden stands is no longer being produced.

A screenshot of @thehopleaf's instagram post. The post shows a Kwak beer in a glass being held up by a wooden stand. The post text says: "It is the end of an era. We received news today that the glassware for the Kwak wooden stands is no longer being produced, and that the brewery is moving to the flat bottom Kwak glasses. 

The wooden stands are so special to us at Hopleaf and we are heartbroken to see them go. Currently we have NO Kwak glasses in circulation, we are using our house branded Tekus to serve the beer."

Bock beer goat yoga would probably be excellent brewery PR now, tbh

They were a little out of control with goats at bock beer events in the 50s.

You have some explaining to do, Chicago…

At a place in Salt Lake City last week, I had a "Marzen Festbier"...

@casketbeer.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:57 AM

Ha! Perfect. Just perfect. Served in a British-style dimple mug, I bet.

@casketbeer.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 12:02 AM

I’m kidding. Here you go:

As an example, check out the color on this Jack’s Abby Festbier:

Prior to say 2020, I would agree with you. But we’ve come a long way since then. Again, this may be a regional thing.

@casketbeer.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 12:44 AM

Perhaps this is a regional thing. I’ve not noticed this in the Northeast. Any one else out there seeing it?

A little preview with a 🔥 rant from @casketbeer.bsky.social about the differences in dimpled mugs.

Have you listened to last week's episode with @casketbeer.bsky.social yet? It's a great conversation about the underappreciated styles of beer, like cask ale, plus the detailed world of proper glassware. Give it a listen at the link or on your favorite podcast app.

I mapped out where we say wedge (a regional term for an oblong sandwich.) Check it out here: www.casketbeer.com/home/2026/9/...

Thanks for the invite! It was fun.
