Wine has long gotten most of the attention when it comes to purpose-built glassware. With the Ouverture Beer, Riedel shows the same thinking applies to beer.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Ouverture Beer 6408/11 is a machine-blown beer glass in crystal glass from Riedel, shaped to bring out both aroma and head across a wide range of beer styles. The glass belongs to the Ouverture collection, Riedel's most accessible range, and shows that the house's core idea of drink-specific glassware doesn't stop at wine.

The elongated bowl with a slightly tapered top holds on to the beer's head and directs the aroma up toward the nose, while the generous 500 ml volume comfortably holds a standard bottle or can without filling the glass to the brim. The crystal glass is machine-blown, making it sturdy enough for frequent use.
