Tool: Wheat Beer Glass

About

This unique German wheat beer glass is taller than a traditional pint glass and is much wider (like a bulb) at the top and thin and slender towards the base of the glass. A wheat beer glass hold one half liter of beer, approximately 16 ounces. The size looks deceiving. The shape of the glass provides the proper amount of foam or "head" on top of the beer. At least one inch of foam on top is crucial or else it isn't considered a proper pour.
