Stemmed Vessels
The other ubiquitous beer glass style that you will find in most places is the tulip. The round bottom and flared opening provide a boquet of aromas to accentuate beers with strong flavor profiles. Often Belgian-style beers are served in stemmed vessels to express these beers unique phenolic properties.
