Wednesday evening, a group of beer-lovers gathered at Pele’s Wood Fire in Riverside for the Samuel Adams Tap Takeover. While tasting some of the fantastic, surprising, and very rare brews, a question was posed: “Why is the Sam Adams glass so special?”

Fortunately, Blake Skebe, Samuel Adams Brewery representative, was there with an explanation. The distinctive Samuel Adams pint glass is narrow at the bottom and flairs out into a bowl-shaped top with a turned out lip. But, instead of relating the information to you in the written format, view the video for an explanation in Blake’s own words.
