Great beer requires proper glassware to be enjoyed to the fullest; enter Spiegelau's new Beer Classics Barrel. Containing a "six pack" of lager glasses from the brand's Beer Classics Collection, with a SRP of $75, nestled in a cardboard aging-vat look-alike, each glass holds 17 ounces of beer.

Since the glasses retail for $30 for a two pack, the barrel includes one for free. The Spiegelau lager glass (right) augments the inherent characteristics and varying flavors of grains, yeast and hops to the brews' maximum advantage.

The narrow base broadening into a wider mouth channels the aromas, preserves the frothy head and volatiles, and highlights the color, clarity and carbonation. You can purchase the Barrel online at www.riedelwebstore.com.
