Beer glasses - Goblet & Chalice

Item Notes:

The Goblet is a wide-bowled glass, perfect for capturing the aromas of most strong ales, like barleywine-style ales. They are normally smaller than typical beer glasses such as the Pint Glass and the Flute, since Beers served in a Goblet typically have a high alcohol content. The small stem of the Goblet is to help in twirling the beer and agitating the aroma and head.
Some goblets are larger than normal, resembling a chalice.

Chalices are conventionally reserved for Belgian-style or Trappist and Abbey dubbels and triples. Chalices are highly dignified pieces of glassware and often the rim of the Chalice will be ringed with silver or gold.
Chalices are often designed to maintain a 2 centimeter head, allowing for a sufficient union of flavours and aromas to come to light.

The distinction between Goblet and Chalice is typically in the glass thickness. Goblets tend to be more delicate and thin, while the chalice is heavy and thick walled. Some chalices are even etched on the bottom to attract carbon dioxide and provide a stream of bubbles for maintaining a nice head.
