Wes asked,
">In this era of microbrews, who makes beer mugs?"
Actually, Wes, I make 'em. Of course, I have to do a lot of product
testing. :-) I think the research is the best part!

Hi Folks,
Wes asked about beer mugs.
Seems like salt glaze would be the absolutely best &
most traditional for beer steins/mugs.
According to Cooper in "History of World Pottery" Ale
was invented, or maybe greatly improved, in Europe
around 1500CE. This created a demand for the new
saltglaze pottery.
Apparently the ale didn't taste as good in their old
vessels: metal, leather, earthenware. But was great in
the stoneware. So both the German stoneware and German
ales began to be exported around Europe.
I've seen copies of old woodcuts with people drinking
out of HUGE jugs/steins in front of "Alehouses".
A potter could refer to their largest pitcher as a
"stein"...for historical purposes only ;-)
Cheers,
Jeanne W.
Hoping for a sunny weekend for the upcoming Art Festival.

I am currently in the process of deciding what shape my beer mugs should =
be.
Of course it is important to test the different shapes and handles with t=
he
appropriate beverage. My problem seems to be my memory. By the time I've
tested all the mugs, I can't remember which one I liked best, and I hav=
e
to start again. And don't tell me to write it down. That would spoil my
fun! :)

Wes, et al,
>> about Beer Mugs.... Someone else replied Seems like salt glaze would be
the absolutely best & most traditional for beer steins/mugs. <<
I've been to Germany several times and have never seen beer drunk out of
clay, only glass. Never even seen clay containers on offer. Maybe my
experience is too limited.
However, here in Belgium, where we have more than 450 beers (mostly what
today could be called micro breweries), beer is served in glass and each
beer has it's own shape glass.
"Why use an authentic glass? Glass shape can greatly affect aromatic
presentation, head formation, even how well carbonation will be sustained.
The ideal in these areas varies from beer to beer thus so do the glasses. "

The above is a great site for Belgian beers.
