To quote a couple places: A nucleation point on a beer glass refers to an etched mark or pattern on the bottom of the inside of a beer glass. And A laser etched nucleation site within the glass maintains flavor release during the drinking experience.
Improve this answer. The purpose of creating nucleation sites is that it creates and maintains the head. That is for aesthetic purposes, but the head also brings beer aroma to your nose so it adds to the perceived flavor as well.
Dave - that's what my answer said — warren. I thought the statement "maintains flavor release during the drinking experience" to not be very descriptive as to how that works. Dave I found the quote pretty clear : — warren. I refuse these glasses in pubs as I like a lively lager.
Lloyd Ettinger Lloyd Ettinger Where you wrote "larger", did you mean "lager"? A rim can change the entire way you drink a beer. Wide rims send the beer charging out of the glass and into your mouth like Braveheart, while narrow rims let the beer out in a relative dribble.
A wide rim also allows the beer to quickly aerate. More exposure to the air means more carbonation leaving the beer at once. What's the thing at the bottom of a pint glass?
A nucleation point on a beer glass refers to an etched mark or pattern on the bottom of the inside of a beer glass. What causes bubbles in lager? Beer head also head or collar , is the frothy foam on top of beer which is produced by bubbles of gas, predominantly carbon dioxide, rising to the surface. The elements that produce the head are wort protein, yeast and hop residue. The carbon dioxide that forms the bubbles in the head is produced during fermentation.
What causes beer to fizz? In simple terms, carbonation is the carbon dioxide gas in a liquid. To keep the carbon dioxide gas in the liquid, there needs to be pressure. With beer, this pressure is a sealed bottle cap or tab.
When the pressure is released, the carbon dioxide rises to escape in the form of bubbles or carbonation. How does a Stella glass work? Just as red and white wines are poured into specific glasses for peak flavor and enjoyment, the curved shape of the Stella Artois Chalice was designed to enhance the beer's flavor by releasing the aromas when the liquid is poured and increase the retention of the foam head. What is a widget in a beer glass? A widget is a device placed in a container of beer to manage the characteristics of the beer's head.
The "floating widget" is found in cans of beer as a hollow plastic sphere, approximately 3 cm in diameter similar in appearance to a table tennis ball, but smaller with at least one small hole and a seam.
What causes nucleation? You can see how much more fizzy the drink on the left is. Next time you purchase a pint glass or are at your local pub, check out the inside. If it has the etchings, you know you'll be in for a fizzy ride.
