Description:

Weizen means wheat in German, so it is clear which beer styles this elegant tall glass is designed for. This glass has a signature shape that can be found not only in its "native" Bavaria, but widely elsewhere as well. Its geometry is somewhat similar to the Pilsner type: it is a tall (one of the tallest) and slender glass with a heavy base for good stability. The middle of the body is very narrow and gradually expands upwards, gently tapering again just below the rim (which is the main difference compared to the Pilsner type). The wide upper part provides plenty of room for a beautiful, thick, fluffy head, which holds the typical aroma of wheat beers and lasts for a long time.
Weizen-type beer glass

In itself, the glass is very elegant and beautifully presents the colors of wheat beers – from golden cloudy Hefeweizens to filtered clear Kristalweizens. The glasses are mostly thin-walled (although in Bavaria you can also encounter solid pieces with a handle and pewter lid), so they do not keep beer cold for very long. Exceptionally, this type of glassware can be used as a replacement for Pilsner for bottom-fermented beers.
