I thought wine drinkers were the only snobs who had to have a specific glass for a specific wine. Turns out in Austria, each beer has their own special glass. I suspect it is mostly marketing, but hopefully you can see in this picture that this glass tilts slightly - it actually reminded me of one of my early glass blowing classes.
Similar to beer in southern Germany (huh, imagine that) - the lagers here seemed pretty light and fresh. And since this was the first time in a year that were experiencing temperatures over 55 degree Fahrenheit, it's also pretty refreshing.
