Sierra Nevada’s New IPA Glassware On Sale

In light of Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head’s new collaboration Rhizing Bines, the breweries have released a new glass specifically for drinking IPAs. Each brewery now has their own branded glassware for hoppy drinking occasions. The glasses have special features that include thin, round walls to maintain temperature, a slender, bowed shape to amplify hop aroma, wave-like ridges to aerate, a wide mouth to comfortably nose the beer, and a laser-etched logo on the bottom to sustain carbonation in the head.

Spiegelau’s Platinum glass is 100% dishwasher safe. (Beer to hand wash!)

Each glass holds 19oz. ERP $9 [Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada]

Dogfish and Sierra Nevada Collaborate on Glassware

Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada are really starting to become BFFs. Moving past just collaborating on beer, they’ve come together to design the new standard for IPA drinking. This new glassware has been designed to completely enhance the way one drinks an IPA with specially designed features exclusively for this style of beer.

These features include thin, round walls to maintain temperature, a slender, bowed shape to amplify hop aroma, wave-like ridges to aerate, a wide mouth to comfortably nose the beer, and a laser-etched logo on the bottom to sustain carbonation in the head.

“I’ve been a longtime believer in the importance of using quality glasswareto enhance the enjoyment of quality craft beer,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. “The process of collaborating on the design of this hop-centric glass takes this concept to the next level.”

Glasses are available for $9 at Dogfish’s webstore, their brewery, and the Delaware brewpub.

The second Dogfish Head/Sierra Nevada Life & Limb release Rhizing Bines has just been bottled. Expect it to hit Dogfish Head’s pub & brewery on February 6th. The remaining 27 states can expect to arrive throughout February. The imperial IPA (really? Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada make IPAs???) features new hop that has no official name – Hop 644. Bines is a featured beer in the A Hop Eclipse Now dinners, celebrating hop love. Dinners will debut around the country soon.

Look for it on taps and in 750 ml bottles (seen above) and draft for a limited time.
