Stange (German for “rod” or “stick”) is a tall, narrow, cylindrical glass traditionally used to serve Kölsch-style beers from Cologne, Germany — full of history and tradition.
The AFNOR glass — also known as the ISO glass — was originally developed in France to standardize a vessel for sensory analysis of wines and fermented beverages. Today it is also used for professional beer tasting.
The Pilsner glass is used for many types of clear, bright beers. Its classic trumpet shape is narrow at the base and widens toward the top, maintaining carbonation, showcasing color and enhancing foam retention.
The origins of the snifter glass date back to 18th-century France, gradually refined by European glassmakers to capture and concentrate the complex aromas developed during prolonged barrel aging.
The AnDer glass was created by a team led by consultant Derek Walsh, sommelier André Köppen, and glass designer Alfred De Groot, who sought to address the need for a specialized glass for beer tasting.
