Red plastic? Styrofoam? Aluminum cans? Fluted silver?

The hollowed-out horn of a, stinking, hulking, now-extinct aurochs?

Most beer lovers agree that their drink of choice is best enjoyed out of glass. Glass, after all, has many advantages over any other kind of drinking vessel. It has no aroma to speak of, thereby adding no unwanted flavor or scent notes to your quaff of choice. The shape of a glass may encourage the development of a head of foam, which in turn emanates the beverage’s alluring fragrance conveniently in the direction of the nose.

Glass, as The Comic Book Story of Beer takes into consideration on page 109, is also often clear. This trait allows the drinker to more fully experience a brew’s signature color—another way of heightening the experience.

And now you can overcrank the altimeter of your heightened experience with The Comic Book Story of Beer pint glasses!

Available in limited quantities for a limited time, you will only find these beauts where you find us: the creative team behind this scrappy little book. That is to say, at beer festivals, comics conventions, bookstores, and what else, we’ll see. For starters, we will be enthused indeed to give them away as thanks for preordering the book in advance of its September 22 sale date.

So check back at this website often or follow us on Twitter for the best way to grab one of these handsome and inducing tchotchkes.
