so I'm brought in on Michelle Oliver to
help me with this next segment and today
is national beer lovers day so we
thought that we'd celebrate with a
little game that will help educate us on
the proper way to enjoy a glass joining
us today is Stephen Raj Anson the
founder and co-owner of batch brewing in
Detroit welcome to live in the D
thank you I just to clarify I own a
brewery in Michigan every day as
national beer lovers day you know what
yeah already alright so when it comes to
beer Michelle was a little bit of a
novice I'm a novice I like beer but I'm
not like an expert but you're gonna
educate us a little bit right yeah we're
gonna have some fun there are a lot of
glassware choices that help you enjoy
particular beer styles as much as you
can with each one and some of them are
rather specific and some of them are a
little bit more utilitarian but I
figured we play a little game where we
talk about a beer style and then you
pick which you think is the appropriate
glassware to go with it yeah for this
yeah I'm planning to cheat I'm here for
you okay so how so these are our choices
keeping things as complex as possible
okay yeah we're gonna start over here
and everyone's left with the Pale Ale
it's a very straightforward
american-style Empire there's another
one on that absolutely and then put the
glassware in front of it that you think
belongs with it I'm gonna go standard
beer standard couple that is perfect
this is this is ideal what this is is
called a shaker glass and this has never
been intended to be drank out of it was
something that cocktail makers shaped
cocktails in and turned into a glass
more because they're cheap and they're
easy to stack this is where you get
everywhere okay nice little upgrade
would be this it's kind of a hybrid of
the shaker it curves in a little bit it
helps keep aromatics inside the glass
and a little bit of headspace the 20
ounce glass we're gonna put a 12 or 16
ounce beer in here room for your nose as
you're going in to drink the beer you
can smell your tasting can actually okay
I'll let you do the next one well yeah
the next beer that we have is our
Centennial pill
it is a german-style Pilsner but made
with american hops and that's this one
right here so go ahead and pick the next
glass the glass that you think is
appropriate with the Pilsner that one is
just an erroneous glass sitting on the
southwest probably absolutely what would
you pick gosh I feel like I've heard of
a pilsner glass before I thought it was
that it all goes down the same this is
actually the pilsner glass so a pilsner
glass actually looks a lot like a
champagne flute and really the purpose
is to highlight the the beauty of the
beer the clarity and the effervescence
of the Pilsner so when you pour this
beer you get to really see the clarity
and the color and the carbonation as
well as well as you can see this
particular pilsner glass does still have
that Flair that comes in so again
capturing some of those aromatics I can
see that now I get it the colors that
you see this one in addition you see how
the glass moves in towards the rim it
captures some of those aromatic okay so
we're running out of time so let's get
through the next two really quickly well
I tell you what let's go to we can do
this one and then we'll do the fest beer
the milkshake IPA very typically is put
in a tulip glass this is we got it it's
okay so this one won't go in this one
and tell us why while I pour it really
utilitarian a glassware style that works
with a lot of beer and again it has that
the hips that come in and captures the
aromatics also with this stem if you're
not going to heat up the temperature of
the beer more quickly than you would
like to because you're not wrapping your
hand around the actual vessel
okay sling that somewhere important see
so here's the thing is this the right
way to pour a beer you know there are a
couple of different styles of thought at
the end of the day you want to be able
to see the carbonation have a little bit
of a head on it and some people tilt the
glass a lot some people pour straight
honestly as long as a beer tastes good
yeah that's what I'm talking about let's
get to the last one let's talk about the
fest beer this is the star of our
upcoming Oktoberfest party next weekend
on the 14th 15th and 16th and it is a
beer that's no Maj to a tradition in in
Germany so this is it's actually a
lighter it's like a light orange okay
like dark liquor yeah right
yes yeah actually you really need more
than one beer to fit into this beer is
meant to be consumed in quantities you
know super fresh easy drinking and the
handle to not heat up the beer so you
can enjoy you know a leader of this beer
at a time so where can people learn more
