What type of glass is winter warmer usually served in?
The winter warmer’s distinctive high alcohol content and complex, roasted malt flavor are designed for sipping slowly while reconnecting with family members and friends over the holidays; it’s not a style of beer you’d want to gulp down. Winter warmers are made in the tradition of old-school European ales, but the American varieties (like the well-known Old Fezziwig ale from Samuel Adams) add an extra dose of holiday spice, whether ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg. To best appreciate these aromatics, serve your winter warmer in a snifter glass; the wide base allows for excellent swirling while the narrow rim accentuates the holiday spice and sip-ability.
