This might be a podcast-first: seven custom-designed and
printed glasses just for this episode. Glassware is arguably the
most important element of craft beer as it's the actual vessel
through which we get to experience it, yet it rarely obtains the
shine it so glaringly deserves. Tonight, we fix that. Dan of Zenan,
the largest glassware company in Canada, and Adin of Henderson
Brewing, join Cee and Nate to chat about the importance of
glassware across the board, Zenan's decorating capabilities, how
they work closely with the craft brewing industry to get them what
they need (even in a tight turnaround), the importance of
relationships with breweries and suppliers, the different types of
printing on glassware, why different glasses work with specific
beer styles, festival glassware, the upcoming Henderson "Toronto In
100 Beers" book, and why there aren't as many "flagship" glasses
these days. They get into some gems from Henderson, in the
custom-made BAOS glassware (thanks to Dan!): Rush Canadian Light
Lager, The Amazing Randi Hazy Pale Ale (Ides 99), Radicle
Hopfenweisse, Rube Goldbeer Belgian Tripel, Stock Ale (Ides 100),
X-1 (Rush Xanabrew II) Belgian-Style Black Ale, and Best Amber Ale.
This was spectacular - cheers!
