Sparing no effort, Boston Beer said it recruited &quot;world-renowned sensory experts&quot; to work on the design of a glass that beginning in March, will be sold in packages of four for $30 at www.samueladams.com. <p>One feature of the new glass is a neck-and-lip design that &quot;helps sustain the head of the beer, which enhances the release of signature Noble hop aromas found in Samuel Adams Boston Lager,&quot; the company said. </p><p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2">It sounds like a big load of crap to me.</font></p><p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2">If you want good beer find a local brewery and have some fresh beer!</font></p>

<p>It looks pretty, but it really is just a marketing scam. The beer from that glass isn't gonna taste any different than if you drank it from the bottle or a regular old pint glass.</p><p><strong><em>a neck-and-lip design that &quot;helps sustain the head of the beer, which enhances the release of signature Noble hop aromas found in Samuel Adams Boston Lager&quot;</em></strong></p><p>Seriously?&nbsp; C'mon...&nbsp;</p>

<p>I just called my buddy who works at the Sam Adams brewery and he's going to bring home a few of these glasses so we can test drive them.</p><p>I'll let you know how easily they break in a bar fight.</p>

Good point... The fact that the beer has to basically get over a hump before it gets to the lip of the glass, which widens outward... pretty much makes it impossible to drink the end of your beer.

i like the look and i'd like it even more if they gave me a few because i ain't buying it. they should give&nbsp;you at least 3 when you buy a case

[raulfd4]

<p>i used to work at a microbrewery, and although i am not a beer snob, i understand their views.</p><p>in europe, especially countries like belgium or germany, almost every beer on tap is served in a custom glass. this is not an uncommon practice.</p><p>i definitely think a beer tastes different from a glass than it does out of a bottle. wine connoisseurs also agree that oxygenating a wine will bring out its flavor better.</p><p>BUT...i could give a shit. sam adams sucks. they buy out small microbreweries that win competitions and slap their label on the recipe. </p><p><img src="http://www.figtography.com/Blog/Beers/Budweiser.jpg" border="0" alt="bud" title="bud" width="400" height="361" /></p>

Let me just point out that I quit drinking beer before beer drinking went gay.

The ultimate beer glass is the bottle that my beer comes in.

No doubt it's a gimic but I feel bad for the bartenders who potentially will have to stack these things.&nbsp; Good luck with that.&nbsp; I miss the days of stealing all the beer glasses that I drank from.
